This study will explore the biblical image of grace (and sin). Grace as a theological construct can be interpreted in a variety of ways among different Christian bodies. For some, for example, it might take on the extreme of "being able to sin boldly so that grace may abound." For others, the only knowledge of grace is how to fall from it. Within these extremes, lies the biblical understanding(s) of what grace is, how God mediates grace to humankind, and how persons embody that grace in their attitudes and behaviors to others.

This book will be a basic resource for persons to use who are interested in starting and sustaining a faith-based small group for young adults. It will include how to start a young adult group, how to take the temperature of the group, how to prioritize and divide time, tips for lively discussions, dealing with problems especially common in young adult groups, how to adapt material, how to create options that relate especially to young adult groups.
