Costly Grace

An Evangelical Minister's Rediscovery of Faith, Hope, and Love

HarperCollins, June 2018

COSTLY GRACE is the story of Rob Schenck’s three religious conversions – the first, as a Jewish teenager who was called to Christ; the second, in the 1980s, as he was swept up in the gospel of Ronald Reagan and the religious right; and a third awakening, spurred by the work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, that has led Rob to reject the power and influence he sought as a leader of the religious right, reaffirm the value of every human person – no matter their faith, politics, or sexual orientation – and journey back to the original Christ-centered gospel he embraced as a teenager.
