The Mysteries of Grace by T. A. Lacey


The Mysteries of Grace by Rev. T.A. Lacey, an Anglican priest, was first printed in 1908. This book has been reprinted in paperback recently by Kessinger Publishing (ISBN 1428617116), and is available through many online sellers starting at around $15 (see my post on sites I have used.) It is a short study of only 129 pages, but is very well written and definitely worth reading. In the 12 chapters, Lacey explores the gift of grace and its need. He discusses sacramental grace and the sacraments that are the conduit of God's grace, and then goes on to discuss Grace in the Church, the Christian life and in prayer. This book is written with the laity in mind, and is written in a non-technical manner. An easy but helpful read for clergy and laity alike, which most will be able to read quite quickly. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. An incomplete preview of this book may be found at the following link:
