Grace for the Good Girl Emily Freeman Paperback, 272 pp., $13.99 Revell (September 1, 2011)
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.
When Jesus called his disciples, his invitation was simple: “Follow me.” But after deciding to follow Jesus, Greg Sidders found that this simple invitation is harder and scarier than it sounds. Sidders invites you to venture beyond risk-free Christianity through seven passages of Scripture in which Jesus describes what his disciples will do, and take the challenge to live the true adventure of following Jesus. You’ll discover what Greg did: that the teachings of Jesus seem hard–until we actually practice them. When we take the leap of obedience, we break through to the vibrant faith we long for.
