Free of Charge

"FREE of CHARGE" - Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace : by MIROSLAV VOLF.
We are at our human best when we give and forgive. But we live in a world in which it makes little sense to do either one.
In our increasingly graceless culture, where can we find the the motivation to give? And how do we learn to forgive when forgiving seems counterintuitive or even futile? A deeply personal yet profoundly thoughtful book, Free of Charge, explores these questions - and the further questions to which they give rise - in the light of God's generosity and Christ's sacrifice for us.

So we read on the back cover of a book worth reading.
While the label is CONNECTIONS OR JOURNEYS LESS TRAVELLED, this posting also belongs with JERUSALEM for the implications of what Miroslav Volf writes points to Jerusalem in place and is a testimony that Resurrection has dawned.
