GRACENOMICS

GRACENOMICS: September 30, 2010

                 I recently had the opportunity to read an advanced copy of GRACENOMICS by Mike Foster from People of the Second Chance.  This is one of the very few books that I will read over and over while trying to absorb this concept and join the movement.  I highly recommend that you do the same.  Grace is for everyone!

This book takes a brilliant message of Grace and exposes it in such a naked, but radical display.  While turning each page I found myself saying out loud, “this could work, this could actually work”.  I am convinced that if this Grace were to be embraced and applied in our culture, the world would change.
Just in the first couple of pages of explaining the People of the Second Chance, it becomes obvious where our culture has missed it:

People of the Second Chance is a movement of people committed to showing unexpected, excessive and scandalous amounts of grace
Together we’re setting out to be the first in line to forgive.
We’re racing to release grudges.
We’re making room for those on life’s margins.
We’re raising our voices for the vulnerable.
We’re accepting the unacceptable.

We’re becoming the Red Cross relief team for the disasters in people’s personal lives.
We’re setting out to be the living, breathing PEZ dispensers of grace for our world.


Grace is not just a concept, it is a lifestyle.  And I love the way this book challenges us to apply Grace in all our surroundings.  Whether it is for ourselves, for others, or even our work place, there is always room for Grace. 
While reading GRACENOMICS, it was hard not to fantasize about what this world could be if we embraced Grace as a culture.  I know that may seem far-fetched at the moment, but I believe there is hope.  We are the People of the Second Chance.
The book will be released next week.  It will be available for purchase at Amazon or POTSC.com.

Overthrow Judgement.  Liberate Love,
