About Product: What is grace? What difference can grace make in our lives? How does the Savior make His power available to us? And what must we do to gain access to that power?
In Amazed by Grace, Sheri Dew discusses each of those important questions, exploring a topic that she describes as being central to the Atonement of Jesus Christ. "The most compelling, most life-changing message of all time," she writes, "is that Jesus Christ has already triumphed over sin, death, hell, temptation, and every kind of misery."
As we come to more fully understand the majestic doctrine of grace, our faith will increase. We will see how the Savior keeps His promise to make weak things strong. And we will believe the truth that "His Atonement makes available all of the power, peace, light, and strength that we need to deal with life's challenges."

Learn how to unlock the POWER of grace to work miracles in your life By Joanne, Submitted on 2015-03-02
One of the things I love about Sheri Dew is how she can take a topic and make it comprehensible. The topic of grace is not clear to most of us, but in her book, Amazed by Grace, she has taken me by the hand and walk me through a deeper understanding of grace.
I learned that grace is more than just being forgiven for our sins and shortcomings, it is also a divine power that gives us strength. I also learned what I must do to gain access to the Savior’s power in my life. Her book has caused me to ponder how much I truly seek to have this enabling and strengthening aspect of the Atonement with me each day. Her insights have taught me that the more I seek the Savior and put him at the center of my life the more ability I will have to accomplish all that I need to do.
One of my favorite quotes is:
“The more we unlock the power available to us...the more vibrant our impact will be in the work of salvation....The key to unlocking the power of covenant men and women is in covenant men’s and women’s learning to unlock the power of Jesus Christ.”
If you want to unlock that power and truly understand how GRACE can work miracles in your life you need to read this book.
Sheri was inspired, Amazed by Grace is a definite must read!!
In Amazed by Grace, Sheri Dew has once again taken a doctrine that seems hard to define and broken it down to basics. She continues to be a powerful voice for me in articulating what I feel but don't know how to put into words. In fact, I too "don't think [I] know enough about grace to even know what to ask." Although I still have a long way to go in understanding it all, I now have several quotes to help me:
-Grace is an enabling power.
-As I prayed, something unexplainable happened to me. In an instant, I felt decades of hurt simply fall away.
-Why are you carrying all of this extra weight? You need to let it go.
-Grace is divine enabling power.
-He rarely moves the mountains in front of us, but He always helps us climb them.
-But the better question is: Why is it not necessary for women to be ordained?
-When we turn our lives over to the Lord, the power behind us is always greater than the obstacles before us.
-When disciples do their best, whatever that is at a given moment, the Lord magnifies us.
-Priesthood power is real. Angels really do minister through a very thin veil.
I devoured the whole book in one evening, highlighting the "aha" phrases as I went. The next day, I discussed it with a friend, then went back and reviewed it all again. This has already become a go-to book for me!
Thanks again Sister Dew!
