The Power of Grace

About the book

If not for grace, who would I be?

Grace is the unmerited favour of God. In season and out of season, it keeps flowing. It cannot be earned, it cannot be bought, and it does not wait until you are worthy. It makes a nobody into a somebody. It takes small efforts and makes them count for something far larger than they should. It is a continuous overflow that carries you beyond anything your own imagination could have arranged for you.

In The Power of Grace, Fr. Emmanuel Ameh Abah, CM — a Catholic priest of the Congregation of the Mission serving in London — draws on Scripture, Church teaching, and the ordinary details of a life shaped by unearned favour to show what grace actually does in a person. This is not abstract theology. It is a book about why some doors open that should have stayed shut, why some people rise from where nothing was supposed to grow, and how to live with your hands open to the God who keeps giving.

Inside, you will find:

What grace is — and what it is not, including the misunderstandings that leave believers waiting for something they already have How grace produces blessing, favour, speed, and excellence in a life Why grace empowers you to do what you plainly could not do by yourself Grace as a source of transformation, not merely comfort Reflections you can carry into prayer, personal devotion, or small-group study
