From the very beginning, disciples of Jesus have gotten His message wrong. Author W.F. Hauck presents his research on why that might be the case as well as what the true message of grace is. Reviewing and illuminating each step from pre-history to the end of time, author W.F. Hauck, a reformed Evangelical veteran of the pulpit, proposes a new way of interpreting the Bible. In researching why the disciples of Jesus have always gotten the message wrong, Hauck began to suspect that God intended that to be the case so as to best instruct the entirety of humanity. Hauck presents his findings and along the way deals with the false doctrines of Original Sin, Calvinism, eternal hellfire, and the age-old conundrum of what happens to humans who have loved, lived, and died without ever hearing the gospel. What We Don't GET about GOD & GRACE will appeal to the independent thinkers who are searching for answers to uncomfortable questions. Believers in need of a positive message for the issues they struggle with will appreciate the book's core views. What We Don't GET about GOD & GRACE aims to deliver good news about the future of all humanity with a casually sarcastic tone.
