Kent Hughes, author, Disciplines of Grace “Amazed by Grace is rightly titled; for grace runs throughout this helpful and inspiring book by Lucinda Secrest McDowell.

Morgan, author, How to Put It Together When Your World Is Coming Apart “May I thank you for your wonderful book. Its subject is grace, and its substance throughout is gracious.

“The only hope for the renewal of the church in America is a re-discovery of the difference between religion and grace. Cindy Secrest McDowell knows the difference, and her powerful book will help turn the corner.” Bruce Larson, author, Living Beyond Our Fear “Amazed by Grace is well titled. Here is a handbook for the reader who wants to go deeper in his or her spiritual walk. Not only is this a helpful resource book for leaders, but it is also the amazing story of Cindy’s life. I read it with great personal interest and enrichment.” Ingrid Trobisch, Family Life Mission “For anyone wounded in life by a lack of grace freely extended when needed the most, Cindy McDowell’s reminders of God’s eternal grace are healing words for a troubled soul. . . .
