Stumbling Into Grace By Lisa Harper 

"Confessions of a Sometimes Spiritually Clumsy Woman"

 Rating: 5 Stars


I must admit..... I LOVED this book! Sometimes, I get the feeling that all devotional books seem to blend together, sounding the same - but NOT this one!!!

 I was happily surprised that Lisa Harper's "Stumbling Into Grace" was new and refreshing and everything I need in a devotional! I don't think there's a Christian woman who can't relate to this book. It 'hits the heart' in all the right spots. 

Lisa never tries to hide her past or embarrassing moments, but uses them to encourage, teach and provide a little humor for you along the way. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who makes a fool of myself on a regular basis.

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.

At the end of each chapter there is a prayer, followed by personal or group reflection questions and then an area for a journal entry. I found the personal reflection questions really helpful, to go through at the end of each chapter, in order to go deeper on the chapter topic on a personal level.

 Topics covered in this book include things such as fear, forgiveness, humor, rest and honesty.


If you're looking for a lighthearted and honest look at life as a woman with a focus on God, I highly suggest checking out Lisa Harper's 'Stumbling Into Grace'.
You won't regret it!!

    I have heard this is a great book! I see you have given it 5 stars! I think I must read it for myself. I just finished a wonderful book by diet Eman who was in the Dutch underground helping hide the Jews. It gives insights into her beliefs as a Christian and why she did what she did. My father was from Holland and they may have know each other. Her faith shines through and the Word is incorporated. The title is "The Things We Couldn't Say." Thanks, Rhoda! God bless you!
