“You can’t drive at highway speed in first gear, and you can’t live at the speed of destiny in the first gear of grace.”
When you shift through the gears of a vehicle there is tension felt when you reach each gear’s speed limit. Using that as a metaphor, Landen identifies six ‘gears of grace’ or revelations of the nature of God’s grace, along with the tension that one feels when one reaches the speed limit of that revelation. He then identifies the ‘clutch’ or discipline of a disciple necessary to relieve that tension, allowing for the ‘shift into a new gear’ to grow as a disciple.
One’s maturity in Christ is proportionate to the revelation of God’s grace they live in.
Praise for the book:
“I so appreciate the balance of this book. I hope you will buy and read the Gears of Grace and discover in what gear your life is being lived. Also, apply the biblical truths to come into your full destiny.”
- Dr. Randy Clark D.D., D.Min., Th.D., M.Div., B.S. Religious Studies
“I so enjoy seeing Landen put what he lives on paper. In Gears of Grace he provides an intentional pathway to growth – growth as people, and as leaders towards a life of fruitfulness and purpose. Landen is not afraid to point out the obstacles that would restrict us from changing gears and growing, and the beautiful thing is, he and I have had many deep conversations where we prayerfully explore obstacles together. This has led to personal breakthrough! Landen is a pastor, leader, father and friend and Gears of Grace pushes you forward step by step, gear by gear from each of those perspectives. It is a book worth reading, and a book worth reading with a friend.”

“Gears of Grace” offers fresh perspectives that will enlighten your spiritual journey. As Landen walks you through the book, you will have a fresh revelation of the measure of grace that is available to each of us. This book is a must read for both new converts and more mature believers.
