Two Quaker pastors present their controversial beliefs in eternal salvation for all through God's perfect grace. Long disturbed by the Church's struggle between offering both love and rejection, they discover what God wants from us and for us: grace for everyone. - from book cover

The author believes and makes the claim that every person will be saved, even after death, because God's grace never ends. This belief violates many verses in Scripture. God's grace is wonderful, but the Bible teaches that when a person dies, he will face the judgment. I believe the author's greatest error in this belief is that "every person" is a child of God. Every person is a created being by the Creator of the universe, but nowhere does the Bible claim that every person is a child of God. You enter into God's family by being adopted into His family through a personal relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ.

*Note: I totally disagree with Gulley and Mulholland's view of salvation (universalism), but I do like Gulley's downhome spun in his several fictional series.

I am rating this 5 stars because of the content and the way it made me think. I don't agree with everything stated, especially the chapter on why Jesus died on the cross. I am not quite with the authors on that one. It isn't the best written book either, but it is a thinker and a wonderful and uplifting view of grace. Grace is really freeing and the authors make it so much bigger than people think it is. I stretch toward universalism, but some of the theology presented needed work IMO. ( )

Excellent. Persuasive, compelling, and one of few books in my life that has done so much to change my mind. ( )

God will save all people
