The Holy Ground of Grace

"This is the fact of the matter-ivory-towerChristianity is a myth for most of us. For all of us.Yet we try to function, we have to function, in faith,despite our own shortcomings and the shortcomingsof those around us. We try to live our lives in a lessthan-perfect world as less-than-perfect people whofall down, flat on our faces, time after time aftertime. Yet by grace through faith we get up, all thewhile clinging desperately to our hope in the Son.The Son of the promise."Tim Bowers is a product of grace--God's Grace. And that verygrace is the subject of this book. He believes that life is a dance, athing of beauty. And he further believes that it is an adventure ingrace. Grace to behold, to embrace, to enjoy. He believes that it isGod's grace which underscores our very lives and permeates bothour every relationship and our every adventure.Tim is the father of two children and the third of four born to hisparents, both retired educators. He is firmly and forever a productof the South, having grown up in Georgia and in the SouthernBaptist Church; however, it was while living in Nashville,Tennessee, as a young businessman, that he discovered the doctrineand meaning of grace by faith alone.Since earning his Masters of Divinity in 1998, Tim has worked asa pastor, an outreach director, and as a church planter. He believesthat the Church should reflect the Savior upon Whose cross it isfounded-that it should be raw and real and reflect both the passionand the compassion of Jesus Christ Himself. That it shouldbe anything but boring and that it should proclaim grace by faithalone in a nonjudgmental manner that truly changes lives.
