I recently received a free copy of Stumbling Into Grace by Lisa Harper (from booksneeze.com) to review. There was no requirement that I give a positive review, just an honest one. I have never read any of Lisa's books before and looked forward to delving into this book based on the comments of others, along with knowing her to be a speaker at the Women of Faith conferences. Also, the cover of the book looked absolutely intriguing. After reading the book, let me honestly say that I wasn't disappointed. I love books that set things up with stories, but back those thoughts up with the powerful truths found in the Bible. This is what Lisa does. She's not just giving you her personal little tidbits for the sake of telling her life or some cute story; she's expressing things that bring us back to spiritual truths. And isn't that what life is? A journey of life lessons that all seem to be pointing us back to our Creator? She writes in a diary style and sprinkles it with humor throughout. And one thing she seems to point out clearly is God's grace. It's an easy read, for sure. She always closes out with prayer and a little question section. These questions could possibly be used in a group setting, but are also questions you can ask yourself. There are a variety of topics touched on in the book. Criticism, forgiveness, binding things, the power of touch, honesty, and more. I would say that if you like devotional type reads, then this is the book for you.
