Stumbling Into Grace by Lisa Harper

The author brings the reader face to face with Jesus with regard to Real Life, Real Gifts, and Real Growth in topics concerning fear, addiction, and danger, as well as the need for forgiveness, touch, humor, community, and rest, and battling criticism, dishonesty, discontent, independence and lack of gratitude. Lisa Harper does a good job making her points while using illustrations, both funny and poignant, from her own life. Lisa’s writing style is very conversational, which makes it easy to read.

Each chapter is structured in such a way that the author shares an anecdote, illustrates her topic with a scriptural passage, elaborates in her own words, and gives an application. Included at the end of each chapter are excellent questions for personal reflection or group discussion.

This book is well written and thought provoking with Scripture used effectively.

I received this book for free in exchange for my unbiased review through the Thomas Nelson BookSneeze Program.
