Christians believe they are saved by grace through no effort of their own.
Oddly enough after this experience the majority of christians live by works, thinking the more good things they do the more pleasing it is to God. This book is about living by grace, Bridges does a good job of putting this into perspective. We do not do good works because we want grace, we should do good works out of genuinely wanting to - as an expression of giving thanks for the grace God has already given us. That is the theme of this book. No christian should live by a sense of duty, following a regime of rules.
