Hyper-Grace: The Dangerous Doctrine of a Happy God

D. R. Silva once again challenges the giants of religious tradition. Now he takes on an idea that has had a resurgence in popularity after Dr. Michael Brown published his book, "Hyper-Grace." Does emphasizing the goodness of God make people want to sin? Many in "the modern grace movement" (and even the Apostle Paul himself) have been accused of promoting sin because they emphasize the goodness of God over the obligation to uphold the Mosaic law.

In this short book, Silva breaks down the the popular perspectives of those in the "grace movement" and reveals exactly what they are and are not saying. Does God's willingness to forgive mean everyone is saved? What is repentance? Does God only forgive if you confess your sin and ask for forgiveness? All of these questions and more are answered clearly and practically with scripture.

This book also provides many scriptures to prove that it's actually the popular church traditions of today that are leading people into sin and deception, causing them to fall from Grace and become separated from Christ.

Like all of the great reformations in the past, we have once again reached a vital fork in the road where we must make the choice of whether we will desperately cling to our old traditions (which Jesus warned, "nullify the word of God"), or if we will actually "test everything" for ourselves and consider whether or not this is the gospel of good news that our traditions have kept hidden from us for so long. Where we choose to go next will have a tremendous impact on the future of the church and the world, for many generations to come. Let us choose wisely then, not coming to conclusions impulsively!
