Grace and Personality (1917)

Grace and Personality is a book written by John Oman and published in 1917. The book explores the relationship between grace, which is defined as the unmerited love and favor of God, and personality, which is the unique combination of characteristics that make up an individual. Oman argues that grace is not something that can be earned or achieved through personal merit, but is instead freely given by God to all people. The book also examines the role of personality in the Christian faith, arguing that individuals should strive to develop their personalities in a way that is consistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Oman believes that a strong, well-developed personality is essential for living a fulfilling and meaningful life, and that grace plays a crucial role in this process.Throughout the book, Oman draws on a variety of sources, including the Bible, philosophy, and psychology, to support his arguments. He also provides practical advice for readers who are seeking to develop their personalities and deepen their understanding of grace.
