Download Uncensored Grace: Stories of Hope from the Streets of Vegas AudioBook Free
“Uncensored grace is what you get from a caring God when all the religious types have ended up home, and every previous expect your own effort has blown up in your face.”
What involves brain first when you think “Las Vegas”? Maybe glitz and glam. Or dealers and dancers, high rollers and hell raisers. And why not? In the end, the city they call Sin City is an American icon, an anything-goes shrine to pleasure, money, gender–and another blessed spin of the dice.
Probably when you think Las Vegas, you don’t think about God or grace.
Neither did Jud Wilhite when he was initially invited to become the senior pastor at the city’s greatest church. However the people he’s achieved since moving there along with his family have altered all of that. Today, Vegas stands for something much different and even more astonishing for Jud. He doesn’t think of Vegas as Sin City anymore. Now, to him, it is Grace City.
Working with veteran journalist Bill Taaffe, Jud goes past the neon and the hype to another area of Vegas–where people whose lives have been marred by loneliness, cravings, and despair are finding hope and independence in a essential community of beliefs. Stripped is an account of what goes on when standard people get honest with one another and a fantastic God. In its webpages you’ll meet video games industry movers and shakers. You’ll meet working exotic dancers, a Flying Elvis, an American Idol contestant, a cop who received the hearts of an crime-hardened city, and even more.
Each of them has encountered what Jud message or calls “uncensored grace.” He creates, “Uncensored means that there surely is no solution or membership or performance that stands between you and God’s goodness.”
Stripped is their unforgettable account of people who are gambling everything on a very big idea: that as vast and profound and high as your pile of personal wreck could easily get, God’s changing grace is always wider and deeper and higher.
