Just because you know and have experienced grace does not mean you fully understand it. This book will help you experience the freedom found in knowing just how fully God is committed to loving YOU. FOREWORD BY LOUIE GIGLIO Rediscover the missing piece in what today’s Christians believe about the Christian life. As lead Pastor of one of America’s biggest churches, John Lindell went on a personal quest for answers and discovered the true meaning behind God’s grace, and when he came to see the full revelation of God’s commitment to us, it changed his life forever. In Soul Set Free , Lindell invites you on a life-changing journey through the Book of Romans. Learn to no longer view the gospel as anything less than a truth that sets your soul free. The good news of the gospel can be summed up in three parts: Christ died for our sins, we are forgiven through faith in Christ, and heaven is our reward upon death. However, none of these parts cover what transpired when we were saved. The gospel is even better than what we believe. It brings joy but it’s even better. It’s forgiveness of sins but it’s even better. It’s God sending His only Son but it’s even better. "John’s love for people and wholehearted passion for the local church to thrive have caused him to capture a message that will unlock potential, purpose, and clarity within every reader. He shares of God’s endless, revolutionary, and profound grace, a grace he has been so evidently marked by in his decades of pastoring and leading. You are about to embark on a rich and life-changing journey to discover the depths of God’s miraculous grace, and you have no greater guide than my friend John." —Brian Houston Global Senior Pastor, Hillsong Church "This book is like Beethoven meets beatboxing! It’s very well written—replete with interesting anecdotes about church history and deep theological truisms—but it’s also incredibly practical and life-giving. It’s less about exegeting the concept of divine grace and more about experiencing the tangible compassion of God, actually leaning in to His miraculous, shame-eviscerating, unmerited, transformative kindness—which is why Soul Set Free will be on my nightstand for a long, long time!" —Lisa Harper Speaker and Author, The Sacrament of Happy "Far too many followers of Jesus feel trapped by their past, enslaved by their failures, and defined by their faults, which is why I can’t wait for people to read Soul Set Free! Grasping the enormity of God’s grace and its transformative power can change everything about the way you live life and walk with God. Everyone needs to read this book!" —Mark Batterson New York Times Best-Selling Author, The Circle Maker Lead Pastor, National Community Church "Pastor John has spent his entire adult life loving Jesus with his family, leading one of America’s greatest churches, and learning the heart of God by preaching every verse of the entire New Testament, along with much of the Old Testament. Many of us have been long awaiting this book from one of this generation’s greatest Bible teachers. This message on the grace of God is the gist of the gospel and a gift to the church. I am purchasing multiple copies to give away and encourage you to do the same." —Mark Driscoll Founding and Senior Pastor, The Trinity Church, Scottsdale, Arizona President, Mark Driscoll Ministries Author, Spirit-Filled Jesus "Being a Christian isn’t about following rules.

John Lindell’s Soul Set Free: Why Grace Is More Liberating Than You Believe is a powerful journey into God’s overflowing compassion and forgiveness.
