If God Is Love

Rediscovering Grace In An Ungracious World

BY JAMES MULHOLLAND AND PHILIP GULLEY
In If Grace Is True, pastors Philip Gulley and James Mulholland revealed their belief that God will save every person. They now explore the implications of this belief and its power to change every area of our lives. They attempt to answer one question: If we took God's love seriously, what would our world look like? Gulley and Mulholland argue that what we believe is crucial and dramatically affects the way we live and interact in the world. Beliefs have power. The belief in a literal hell, where people suffer eternally, has often been used by the Church to justify hate and violence, which contradict what Jesus taught about love and grace. The authors present a new vision.

Why God Will Save Every Person

Just Shy Of Harmony

BY PHILIP GULLEY
"Gulley, easily evangelical fiction's funniest man, turns in something just shy of a real novel in Just Shy of Harmony--as opposed to the loose collections of sermons and stories he's published in the past. This time out, Gulley's alter ego, Quaker minister Sam Gardner, decides that he no longer believes in God. His reason? A pretty good one: nothing ever gets done, and he fritters away his 60-hour weeks on discussions about church gymnasiums [etc.].... Then a woman in the congregation is stricken with leukemia, and all the backbiters and gossipers rally to her cause. Sam's gloom lifts with his renewed faith in humankind." -Publisher's Weekly, starred review

Stories Of Decency, Common Sense, And Other Endangered Species
