BIG NEWS! We’re thrilled to announce that Mbird Director, David Zahl, has a new book coming out. The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World will be released on April 29th, 2025, and is now available to pre-order. See below for more.
We could all use a little — or a lot — of relief from the pressures of life. And there is no bigger relief than the grace of God.
In his new book, The Big Relief: The Urgency of Grace for a Worn-Out World, David Zahl spotlights grace as the most important, urgent, and radical contribution Christianity has to offer the world. Zahl helps readers understand the beauty and depth of grace, outlining how it provides relief not only from guilt, but also the stressful and accelerating demands that characterize so much of modern life. Drawing on the witness of Scripture and a panoply of contemporary examples, he unpacks a theology of grace in fresh and exciting terms, exploring its many fruits such as freedom, play, surrender, humility, rest, surprise, and joy.
Zahl invites us to embrace Christianity as a refuge rather than as a project, a beacon of hope instead of a vehicle of shame, and a harbor of refreshment in a worn-out world. Ultimately, he welcomes everyone to receive the gift of relief we so desperately need.
Can’t wait for the relief.
