Grace
God takes the initiative in love, loving those who can claim no merit or favor in and of themselves. The eros of the Greek tradition responds to attractive features in the beloved; the agape of the God of the Bible is love for the unlovely.

Synopsis
"Vic was used to probation officers pleading his case in court. He had learnt to take care of himself early on in the orphanage, but years of fighting, stealing and burgling had brought him to the end of the line. 'God if you are there, you've got ten days to change my life and if you haven't done it by then you've copped it.' Vic prayed, God acted. It wasn't always easy from then on, but living by the grace of God rather than by his own fists Vic found a new inner strength and security. Instead of taking from others he now teaches and lives the new life Christ brings into the hearts of men and women."
