Stumbling Into Grace

Stumbling Into GraceConfessions of a Sometimes Spiritually Clumsy Woman

By Lisa Harper
Published by Thomas Nelson

The author's real-life experiences make it genuine. It only nicks the surface of biblical study, but is asks study questions at the end of each chapter which enable the reader to delve in a little deeper if they choose. Harper skims along the surface of this subject and doesn't dive very far into scriptural depths. She employs a style of writing that I suppose began with Max Lucado and has been embraced by the and other modern writers. I know that difference can be subtle, but it can mean the difference between being shallow and really being based in solid Biblical truth. Lisa Harper writes the entire book in a very informal, style. While that might be cute and even welcoming in a blog...  I have to say upfront that any book that is not about a specifically female issue but is written specifically for women makes me suspicious. There were times in the book where I felt like the author was forcing the female voice too hard. Lisa helps you to see that the safe and conventional Jesus that is often preached in the American church is far from the man that lived in the middle east two thousand years ago. This book made me want to understand Him more fully.  I really enjoyed this book and actually used it as my quiet time in the mornings.  It was a great way to get moving in the morning and thinking about Him.
