Stumbling Into Grace

Stumbling Into Grace by Lisa Harper

About The Book:
Humorous yet poignant stories from Lisa's life help readers relate to spiritual truths found in the life and ministry of Christ. Stumbling Into Grace is the diary-devotional of one woman's honest, ongoing, bumbling journey of faith and how she finds encouragement through a deeper understanding of Christ's time on earth. Within each chapter she alternates her often humorous memoir with stirring portraits of Jesus and his own encounters as recorded in the New Testament. Both intimately relevant and refreshingly inspirational, this book will help readers to jettison the theological misconceptions, guilt, shame, and hypocrisy they struggle with, exchanging them for a vibrant, passionate relationship with Christ that results in a more abundant, joyful life.

My Thoughts:
There are many sorts of Christian women, but I believe that the ones who can laugh, and relate to a modern society, and are light-hearted, but very passionate about their beliefs is the kind of Christian woman I can relate to. I love how this book is laid out and so easy to read, and also understand. It is not filled with a ton of proverbs and "bible speak". The author is so real and true to what she says, as well as hilarious. I enjoyed the reflections after each chapter and how you can relate to everything in your own life.

About The Author:
Lisa Harper is a hilarious storyteller and theological scholar - a gifted communicator whose writing and speaking overflows with colorful, pop-culture references that connect the dots between the Bible era and modern life. Her God-given ability to not merely teach the Word but package it in a way that stirs the heart and calls to action is incomparable. For six years Lisa served as the director of Focus on the Family's national women's ministry where she created the popular Renewing the Heart conferences. The next six years found her serving on the local level as the women's ministry director at a large church in Nashville. As the author of nine books, and a Masters of Theological Studies with honors from Covenant Seminary, she is now a sought-after Bible teacher and speaker currently featured on the Women of Faith tour.
