Scandalous Grace

I liked the very personal and humorous stories featured in this book. And we all could stand to be a little less hard on ourselves about our imperfections and Barnhill is very encouraging in that way. I just wanted to read a little more about grace from a Biblical perspective. Overall, I recommend this book.

Are you tired of struggling to please everybody - most of all yourself? Are you secretly afraid there's no way God could really love you? Read this book! Julie Ann Barnhill puts God's grace, tender mercy, and overwhelming love in language any woman can understand and relate to. Beware - the grace Julie writes of may sound too good to be true. But if you'll allow for the possiblilty that God really does love YOU like this... this book will start you down a path toward true intimacy with God. This is not a deeply theological book. This is one woman writing about her Beloved and inviting you to join in.

After seeing Julie at a conference, I just had to buy this book. Any woman out there can relate to her. I would not be afraid to ever call her girlfriend! From the "pooge" to the "other woman". Hey we are all a mess. LOLThis book is a must buy!

After seeing Julie at a conference, I just knew i had to buy this book. Such encouragement for your heart and soul. She touches on some very intimate parts of her and let's you know you are not alone. Whether you have the "pooge" or "the other woman" you can handle it all. Thanks Julie for your friendship and for carrying enough to "be" there for all of us moms.Pam K

Julie Ann Barnhill has a marvelous way of prompting us to take a serious look at what we've been covering up all these years, then making us laugh out loud at them. Ah - the grace-filled liberation of embracing (in thought only) those parts of ourselves we hide in slimming "Magic Pants" and realizing we all curl the lip at "The Other Woman" who is thinner, wittier and prettier than we. Got a friend who's down in the dumps - or one who's on top of the world? Get her this book! Want to shut the door to your sanctuary (read: bathtub), and spend some quality R & R time praising God for His amazing grace? Get yourself this book! I warn you though, the laughter comes fast and furious at times, so prepare your tummy for a better workout than Pilates or "6-Second Abs!"Julie Ann helps us realize we all have those "scorched places" in our lives that the enemy would have us conceal - yet God's grace woos us to reveal them, dare to feel them, and let Him heal them. Julie has been through those hard places - and now she leads others past the pain to the freedom of embracing God's Scandalous Grace with laughter - and great joy!
