This high quality DVD is Giglio speaking to an unseen crowd from 2 Corinthians 5:13-21 on the topic of grace (“God at work” as defined by Giglio). If you have heard Giglio speak at a Passion conference, you’ve got a good idea of this DVD—just Louie talking on the stage. No clips, no FX, no soft music, just an engaging communicator doing it very, very well.

The last half of this powerful presentation chronicles the spiritual journey of a young University of Florida student named Ashley. Her story is recorded in her personal journal that Louie holds and reads as he closes his presentation. The writing in her journal is unfiltered (Louie warns the viewers) but very real. Although her story has a shocking and grace-filled twist at the end, you’ll have to listen to Louie for the details.

Also, there’s a bonus music CD—five songs by Tomlin, Crowder and Hall.
