Stumbling Into Grace: Confessions of a Sometimes Spiritually Clumsy Woman

Part diary, part devotional, Stumbling Into Grace weaves hilarious and poignant stories from Lisa Harper's life with intimate encounters from the life of Christ. I persona Before picking up this book I'd never heard of Lisa Harper. I personally HATE pantyhose! I was so surprised how easy it was for me to relate to her stories. Every single chapter I felt as though I could have said some of the same things about myself or I had an "aha! Harper is honest about the times she has 'stumbled' and is therefore able to encourage others to keep pushing forward in their walk with God.

See a Problem?

Her honesty is like a gentle push to keep striving for a better relationship with Him. I appreciated that after each bible story, Lisa broke down the pieces of the story and applied it to life principles. I think that Stumbling Into Grace will be a book I refer back to and reread several times. I think the passages and the questions are very healing for the soul. Disclosure of Material Connection: I was not required to write a positive review.

The opinions I have expressed are my own. Aug 09, Teela rated it it was amazing. But then I noticed the picture of the little Diva wannabe on the cover and I thought, hum So glad that I got this book from Booksneeze. Lisa Harper has such a wit and charm as she shares stories and then uses those stories to get across a point about Grace. One of the stories she share When I first saw the title of the book, Stumbling into Grace by Lisa Harper , I wondered if this would be a stuffy book about Grace One of the stories she shares is when she and one of her besties is in a hotel in Chattanooga and during the wee hours of the morning, the fire alarm goes off.

Well, her dear friend is confined to a wheel chair, so she tells of enlisting an able bodied man to assist her in getting her friend, wheel chair and all down the staircase, since the elevator is out of commission during fires. After all is said and done and they are safely on the ground, and the help walks away, her friend says, that was a different kind of accent, I could not quite place it and Lisa says, that's because he was drunk as a skunk! It wasn't an accent! She uses this lighthearted scenario to segue into the thought that the people God places around us can be amazing carriers of His grace.

I would recommend this book for gift giving as well as using as a personal growth book. Aug 09, Ellen rated it liked it Shelves: 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. Both intimately relevant and "Humorous yet poignant stories from Lisa's life help readers relate to spiritual truths found in the life and ministry of Christ. Both intimately relevant and refreshingly inspirational, this book will help readers to jettison the theological misconceptions, guilt, shame, and hypocrisy they struggle with, exchanging them for a vibrant, passionate relationship with Christ that results in a more abundant, joyful life.

She covers such personal topics as forgiveness, rest, contentment, gratefulness, and more. She brings Bible teaching to a level we all can understand.

  3. About This Item!

I must say I am glad I did, the title seemed to call to me. Alas I have been in a stump for awhile now. So when I saw this book title, I really felt this would be something I could relate to. I was so on target in that thought. This is a book I am happy to say will be one that.

I will revisit and recommend to friends every chance I get. That would be me, I am sorry to say. She tells wonderful stories that made me laugh and cry at the same time. Stories that a reader can relate to and gives readings. That go with the story she is telling us. She reminds of us of the never ending love our Creator has for us.

Even when we may think we are undeserving of that love she points out to us in scripture and in her teaching. That God loves us rather we are on track, stumbling, or all out falling from grace. Mar 27, Krystal rated it it was amazing.
