I am very excited to read and discuss this book with
you:
Grace for the Good Girl
Many of us believe that we are saved by grace--but for too
many, that's the last time grace defines our life. Instead of clinging to
grace, we strive for good and believe that the Christian life means hard work
and a sweet disposition. As good girls, we focus on the things we can handle,
our disciplined lives, and our unshakable good moods. When we fail to measure
up to our own impossible standards, we hide behind our good girl masks,
determined to keep our weakness a secret.In Grace for the Good Girl, Emily Freeman invites women to let go of the try-hard life and realize that in Christ we are free to receive from him rather than constantly try to achieve for him. With an open hand and a whimsical style, Emily uncovers the truth about the hiding, encouraging women to move from hiding behind girl-made masks and do-good performances to a life hidden with Christ in God.
