There are two fundamentally different approaches to living life in relation to God. The first approach is to jump up and down, trying to impress Him. The second is to relate to Him on the basis of grace. Though the first approach makes sense at first glance (since it is the way we get noticed), it comes with a whole load of baggage: guilt, shame, fear, pride. The way of grace is more subtle but is the way God actually has chosen to work. Grace is like breathing clean air. When you are surrounded by grace you flourish. Graceless living is like breathing carbon monoxide. You may not even realize it is killing you spiritually until it is too late. These reflections are easy to read, and often entertaining. But they are full of wisdom - and will show you how to live in the grace of Christ, day by day.

I used this book as my lenton bible study. It was great to read about the fact that other people have doubts, and I was not alone. I really liked the personal stories he used, and how he just made the subject relatable. Not only did I read this book, but most days told other people about the readings for that day. That is the measure of a great devotional.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful Devotional on God's Grace
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2013
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Passages such as Ephesians 2:8-9 make it quite clear how important the topic of grace is in our lives. There is no work sinful man can accomplish that can achieve them salvation. Only by the grace of God can we experience reconciliation to a holy God. Author Rich Miller in his book 40 Days of Grace: Discovering God's Liberating Love, takes the reader on a 40 day journey of reflection, discussion, and interaction with Scripture on this all important concept of God's grace and how it is to be understood, reflected in our daily life, and why it even matters.
Whenever I pick up a recent book on the topic of grace, I am always mindful of the urge by some to misappropriate what grace is, namely the idea that somehow actually living in obedience to God's commands, the works aspect of the faith, is somehow unnecessary. Thankfully, Miller properly discusses grace within its proper theological context, noting "grace is God freely giving us what we don't deserve and can't come up with on our own, but what we desperately need." We cannot even begin to contemplate the enormity of God's grace, however, we need to more fully begin to understand what God's grace means for us in everyday life, something Miller spends a great deal of time addressing in this book.

The reader of 40 Days of Grace will find its format to be extremely conversational. Given this is a devotional style book, that conversational style is highly appropriate. The book is setup so as to take the reader through 6 weeks of study on grace, with the first 5 weeks containing 7 days of devotions and the final week concluding with 5 days of study. So this overall 40 day journey through grace can be accomplished with a relatively small amount of daily commitment on the part of the reader as far as the actual printed page information is concerned.

What is perhaps most useful about this book is the additional study material and questions provided by the author. An excellent devotional book will provide more than just something to read or a nice story that connects with the subject being explored by the author as a whole or on that particular day. While those things are useful in their own right, arguably, a good devotional book will provide further food for thought. For each day's reading, Miller provides a "Thought to Chew On", "A Truth to Remember", "A Question to Mull Over", and "Talking it Over With God". Each of these elements is intended to help the reader take the material discussed for that day and ruminate on it, ultimately assisting them towards a deeper understanding and application of that day's perspective on grace. This is an excellent methodology by which to learn about any subject matter, something I found to be a rather smashing success for this particular book.

As noted earlier, grace is often a very misunderstood and misapplied doctrine. It is comforting to see a book like Miller's 40 Days of Grace out on the bookshelves. Its personal, devotional style combined with timely and relevant additional study materials provided for each day, truly approaches the topic of grace from a firm biblical standpoint without losing the reader in the vastness of theological terminology or the opposite end of the spectrum, namely the shallowness of some authors hyper-grace discussions. Miller's book is a great tool for personal or group bible studies for people of all theological levels of understanding.

I received this book for free from Kregel Publications for this review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grace is Life Changing!
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2013
In 40 Days of Grace, Rich Miller explored the fundamental concept of grace given by a loving Creator. Rich Miller described that when Jesus died on the cross for our sins and we repented and asked for forgiveness. This very act of sacrifice lead to grace being introduced into the world. The book is written in the form of a 40 day devotional and divided into six weeks. The weekly topics include "Amazing Grace", "Canceling the Guilt Trip", "From Disgrace to Grace", "From Fear to Faith", "The Power of Humility", "The Grace-Rest Life". Each day has a personal story demonstrating an aspect of grace, "a thought to chew on" - a sentence to think about, "a truth to remember" - a scripture verse to mediate on, "a question to mull over", and "talking it over with God" - a prayer to pray.

In one of the day's devotional, Rich Miller revealed a personal story about struggling with guilt over his sins. About a year after he began a follower of Christ and was saved, he was in college drinking with his friends. When his brother surprising arrived and handled him a Christian book for his birthday. Rich felt guilty for his actions but soon turned back to drinking to numb his emotions. His so called friends wrapped him in a bed sheet and threw him in an elevator and pressed all the buttons where every floor could witness his drunken state. A few hours later, he managed to make it back to his room and his buddies took the notation to pick him up off his bed and shove his head into the wall. Then his roommate also stated, "Do you really think this is glorifying God?" (Page 71). Overall, he later learnt that God adopted him and chose him (See Ephesians 1:5-8) and God already has provided us grace and forgiveness of our innumerable sins. The blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross has declared that we are forgiven for our sins by his unmerited grace.

My favorite story that Rich Miller shared was day 6, "Grace Works". Rich Miller noticed that his son, Brian was having trouble sharing a room with his younger adopted brother, Luke. Luke struggled with understanding boundaries and he would constantly invaded Brian's space. When Rich's three other children were playing a game, Luke would destroy the game and they eventually begin to shut the door where Luke couldn't mess up the game. As parents, they had to address the issue and they told their kids that they couldn't treat their brother that way. Brian still struggled with sharing a room with him. Rich came up with an idea and he told Brian to imagine Luke sitting there listening to him. He told him to get out the anger and the hurt and then proceed to forgiveness. Afterwards, Brian took the initiative and went and played with his brother for 45 minutes for the first time ever. This gave me great hope and I wonder if we did that as adults and forgave quickly what would happen. Grace could rapidly change our relationships with others!

I would recommend this magnificent book to anyone who is needing a refresher course on grace. This devotional was very entertaining to read and each day was only about three pages each. I immensely loved the prayer that was at the end of each day and they were simple and consistent with the message content. I love the way Rich Miller connected all of the stories back to undeserved grace and forgiveness. One of my favorite day devotions was entitled, "A Return to Dignity". This one Rich Miller encouraged readers who feel ashamed to proclaim out loud these helpful paragraphs regarding sexual abuse or rape, and emotional abuse. These statements relinquishes the lies that they may have believed about themselves. I also love how he used scriptures to assist in readers finding freedom from the lies of satan. If you're looking for a book that will convey to you the importance of grace, then this book is the one you need to read!
