Grace is both liberating and contagious. Once you truly experience it, you become a different person, and the further you journey in your faith, the more you realize the role God s grace has played in your life even before you came to faith in Christ. In "Encountering Grace," you ll examine passages about God s unmerited favor. You ll learn more about receiving God s grace as well as offering that grace to others. "Converge Bible Studies" is a series of topical Bible studies based on the "Common English Bible." Each title in the series consists of four studies on a common topic or theme. "Converge" can be used by small groups, classes, or individuals. Primary Scripture passages are included for ease of study, as are questions designed to encourage both personal reflection and group conversation. The topics and Scriptures in "Converge" come together to transform readers relationships with others, themselves, and God."
