I’m writing this email on a Tuesday, two days earlier than usual, because my newest book — ReGrace: What the Shocking Beliefs of the Great Christians Can Teach Us Today – just released.
Let me say a few words about the book before I tell you how to download the first 5 chapters and get the book on discount.
- It’s the funniest book I’ve ever written. The entire volume is peppered with humor.
- It’s short. Less than 200 pages if you don’t count the endnotes.
- If you like church history, you’ll find it fascinating (I expect, anyway).
A Quick Word About Rick Warren
Like all Christian leaders who are making an impact, Rick Warren has been unjustly attacked and lied about for years.
Case in point: Someone mentioned my new book the other day on the viper pit called “Facebook” and a professing Christian — who I don’t know — publicly attacked Rick with outrageous lies. The person spread horrible rumors about him that were debunked years ago.
This was both ironic and disturbing for three reasons:
- ReGrace was written to expose and correct this kind of obnoxious behavior, showing it to be sinful and contrary to the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
- Rick didn’t write one word of the book. He just asked me to write it. So even if he were the Antichrist or the spawn of Satan, it’s ludicrous to cast aspersions upon him when the book is mentioned.
- I’ve written extensively over the years about the Holy Spirit-grieving sins of slander, gossip, and rumors. Yet some “Christians” still traffic in them without wincing.
(See Don’t Believe Everything You Read or Hear and Have You Heard? to see how serious this sin is to the Lord.)
While Rick and I don’t agree on every point of theology (what two people do?), he’s a genuine brother in the Lord whom God has used to bring thousands of people to Christ. And he’s done far more for the kingdom than his blue-blooded critics have.
Slander is abuse, plain and simple. In fact, it’s so heinous that Paul says it’s a sin worthy of excommunication (1 Corinthians 5:11). So I have no tolerance for it, and neither should you.
That said, ReGrace deals with how Christians routinely mistreat one another over alleged doctrinal and political trespasses. And how we can change that.
Its message highlights an important aspect of the Insurgence.
ReGrace is available in paperback, Kindle, Nook, and ePub. The audio version isn’t available yet, but it will be in the future.

Thanks for supporting the book. I hope you love it!
