A Journey to New Books — A Perfect Mess - From July 21, 2009

I’d like to tell you today about a book titled A Perfect Mess: Why You Don’t Have to Worry About Being Good Enough for God by Lisa Harper. I have begun reading it, but I have not had a chance to finish it yet. The book is a unique study of some of the Psalms. So far, I’m enjoying it and finding it enlightening and thought-provoking. This book could be a great resource for your women’s prayer group or book club.
Take a look at the summary and author bio below. For more info about the book, please check out the link I’ve included.

A Perfect Mess Summary:
Caught up in the self-imposed pressure to do and be all the things they think a Christian woman ought to do and be, countless women are working desperately to convince everyone, including God, that they have it all together. Few have any idea that the Creator of the universe looks at them with delight even when they yell at the dog, drive a minivan littered with French fries, or think bad words about that rude clerk at the store.
A Perfect Mess offers hope to every woman who yearns for a vibrant relationship with God but worries she isn’t good enough or doesn’t do enough to merit His affection. With characteristic authenticity, speaker and author Lisa Harper shares poignant stories from her own imperfect life to showcase the real-life relevancy of the Bible in the lives of modern women. As she guides readers on a story-driven journey through selected Psalms, they will be inspired to experience for themselves how God’s incomparable love transforms the messiness of life into a gorgeous work of grace.
