Christianity Today **2025 Book Award Finalist | Christian Living and Spiritual Formation

We could all use a little–or a lot–of relief from the pressures of life. And there is no bigger relief than the grace of God.**

In The Big Relief, popular author David Zahl spotlights grace as the most important, urgent, and radical contribution Christianity has to offer the world. Drawing on the witness of Scripture and a panoply of contemporary examples, he helps readers

● understand the beauty and depth of grace
● unpack the theology of grace in fresh and exciting terms
● accept the relief grace offers from the guilt, status anxiety, and demands of modern life
● explore the many fruits of grace–freedom, play, surrender, humility, rest, surprise, and joy

Zahl invites us to embrace Christianity as a refuge rather than as a project, a beacon of hope instead of a vehicle of shame, and a harbor of refreshment in a worn-out world. Ultimately, he welcomes everyone to receive the gift of relief we so desperately need.
