Bruce Hitchcock and Mike Gratzke have co-authored these 2 books out of a sense of urgency.  We are living in a time of "Grace Crisis."  Current events worldwide coincide with the Matthew 24 and 25 Olivet Discourse questions: "What shall be the sign of your coming and the end of the world?" (Matthew 24:3b)
In light of this crisis, we are writing to motivate the people of God, out of our love for the church.  However, our concern also extends to the unsaved.  We would hope that both groups would understand grace.  In addition, our expectation is that believers will take action and share the good news of Grace in the names of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
