    I like the way Scot provides pathways into the deeper life with God and the expression of the gospel through an idea that both captures the imagination and opens up new worlds of experience and understanding.

    In 'Embracing Grace' this is provided through his Scot's use of the Greek word Eikon (image) as a picture of whose image we are made in, and being restored to be, in order that we might live out the gospel that is about being in union with God and communion with others.

    Eikon moves the reader away from thinking of the life of faith as being an individual one to being one that is restored to and lived out with others - when God reproduced his image it was in a plurality.

    A very thought provoking insight into the Living Gospel. McKnight does an excellent job in relating the gospel from church to self: and self to church to community. His personal and literary references tie in well his mindful thoughts in this heartfelt, personal lesson for today. A definite must read.
