Fall to Grace

If anyone ever had a reason to leave the faith, Jay Bakker did. At the age of only 11 his parents' PTL ministry was caught in a high-profile accounting fraud scandal, and his family was devastated by his father's affair and his parents' subsequent divorce. A disillusioned Bakker turned to drugs and alcohol and left his childhood beliefs behind. But along the way, an interesting thing happened: Bakker came to understand, through all his pain, what God's grace was really all about.

In this book Bakker will explore the true nature of grace and what it means in everyday life. With disarming humility, poignant observations, and spot-on theology, Bakker both challenges Christians to reassess their understanding of salvation and entices non-Christians to give Jesus a chance.
