Purpose
God’s Greater Grace Ministries exists to help people know God and learn to walk with Him more closely. The name 'God’s Greater Grace Ministries' comes from James 4:1-6 where God overcomes our sinful nature and sinful ways by providing us ‘greater grace’ than our sin. God gives you this grace to have a relationship with Him. He wants you to walk with Him and talk with Him now and forever.
Our current efforts are the development and distribution of 50 Steps as a Children's edition, a Spanish edition, and a Mandarin. We are very interested in language specific translations by missionaries and/or local pastors.
Xaris Publications, LLC will remain the for-profit publishing arm of the ministry.
