Breathing Grace

What You Need More Than Your Next Breath

By: Harry Kraus M.D.

Narrated by: Wayne Shepherd

Each week thousands of Christians will sing "Amazing Grace" at church, paying lip service to one of the most phenomenal aspects of Christianity, yet walking away untouched by its magnitude. They pay mental assent to the concept, but their hearts are untouched.

Breathing Grace is a unique look at a topic that stands at the very core of the Christian faith. Dr. Harry Kraus, best-selling author and practicing surgeon, reveals the gospel of grace through a series of medical metaphors, predominantly the physiology of our need for and the utilization of oxygen. The clinical flavor of the book brings to life a subject that many Christians have failed to grasp and incorporate into their daily lives, illustrating our need, God's provision, and the moment-by-moment inflow and exhalation of grace to a starving world. Includes study questions for individual and group use.

Great Book

At first I was a little hesitant as to whether or not I was going to be able to hang 10 with all the medical jargon but after about the 2nd or 3rd chapter the book really opens up. He uses some fabulous analogies, my favorite is of our need for constant intake of grace just like like we need air. He also address issues with in religion of legalism vs grace. I would definitely recommend even if you don't fully understand all the medical terminology there is so much to glean from this book.

Excellent book.

I would recommend this book to anyone that is seeking a closer relationship with God.

Struggled with constant Medical metaphors

I laboured through the first chapter of this book, thinking,
'Give it a chance',
endured the second chapter, thinking,
'It'll get better'
by half way through the forth chapter - I turned it off - too much hospital/medical talk (obviously what the author really knows about) and not enough about grace. Have deleted from my ipod.
