Grace: What does it look like through the eyes of a child?

Grace has been defined as:" Unmerited favor." It's been described as a free gift. The Scripture declares, "By grace we have been saved through faith, and that not of yourself, it is a free gift. Not of works lest anyone should boast..."

Ephesians 2:8 has become a foundational corner stone within the Christian Faith. Like John 3:16 it is one of those verses we followers of Christ cling to when everything else in our world is falling apart.

Theologically speaking, we understand grace is a property of God that goes before his judgment. It was by grace, that he offered up His Son on Calvary's Cross 2,000 years ago to receive the punishment for the sin of this fallen world.

Question: What does grace look like through the eyes of an eleven year old boy. How do you communicate in terms of experience the principal of grace. Is there a working platform, or model out there, that takes a subject so deeply grounded in Christian principal and breaks it down to a level children easily understand.

When I was eleven years old and in the fifth grade at Sumner Elementary School, I experienced grace and have never recovered. I've published the story with Amazon and call it, The Note.

It is being offered for free all day tomorrow, Sept. 19th. I am in the process of changing the cover. If you have already red the story, you will notice the cover has changed. It is a work in progress and until we find one that fits.
