Discover the Depth of Divine Love in The Story of Grace by Horatius Bonar

In The Story of Grace, nineteenth-century Scottish minister and hymn writer Horatius Bonar brings timeless clarity to one of the most profound truths of the Christian faith: the grace of God. Writing with pastoral warmth and theological insight, Bonar traces the theme of God’s mercy by retelling the Gospel story as a heartfelt narrative, showcasing God’s grace as His deliberate initiative toward sinners.

Through this engaging retelling, Bonar invites us to behold the grace of God as the central thread in the Bible’s unfolding story, from Eden’s fall to Calvary’s cross. Along the way, he points our attention to details that are often overlooked to give a clearer view of the God who not only forgives but also pursues and transforms all who believe.

The Story of Grace renews our sense of awe at the cost and wonder of grace. You’ll meditate on mankind’s desperate need of saving and the goodness of God to offer a Savior, leading to a greater appreciation of Christ’s atoning work. Each chapter urges us toward gratitude and worship for not only what grace does but also who grace reveals: Jesus Christ, full of mercy and truth.

While nearly two hundred years old, this classic work remains true, relevant, and encouraging today. Whether you’re new to the Christian faith or have been a follower of Christ for many years, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of this: Grace is not just a part of the Gospel; it is the Gospel.
