The Grace Effect by Larry Taunton

Just finished this very good book, The Grace Effect by Larry Taunton. It touched my heart so deeply - ask my mom, my brother, or my husband - I would not stop talking about it over Thanksgiving.
The Grace Effect is a nonfiction, thought-provoking story, combining the adoption process of an Ukranian orphan girl with an ongoing debate of whether or not Christianity brings about societal morality.

I was shown a vivid picture of a society without grace, wiped out of love, kindness, respect, unselfishness. That there is such a place where children have to grow up hurts so badly. I had never been shown such a picture before, at least one that I paid any attention to.

Larry Taunton educated me well on the failings of socialism, specifically in the Ukraine. He said the socialist leaders originally had good intentions. But what they failed to realize is that once you remove morality, which only comes about with the fear of God, - let's face it - you are left with nothing more than selfishness. You are left without grace.

This book makes an excellent warning to me, regarding my country's intentions on future government. I'll pass it around, to my neighbors and friends.
