About the Book:
As women, we tend to think that if we could only get our act together, life would be perfect. But you're not supposed to be perfect. You're supposed to be human. And humans are messy, flawed, glorious, and deeply loved.
It's time to lay down those unrealistic expectations that exhaust you.
It's time to embrace who you are--even the messy parts.
It's time to start living fully instead of just trying not to fail.
Let's do this. Together.
-----------------------------
How would your life be different if you truly believed you're loved just as you are? Bestselling author Holley Gerth shares how God wants to set our hearts free by revealing the lies we believe as well as the scandalous grace and acceptance offered to us instead. She helps us lay down our unrealistic expectations so we can embrace who God created us to be, pursue his purpose for our lives, and offer others the love we've been freely given.
My Thoughts:
“Sometimes You Will
Forget All of This – And It’s Okay”
(heading on p. 186)
This is the grace and truth with which Holly Gerth writes
her books. Even after the final draft of
the book was turned in, she admitted to a friend that her exhaustion stemmed
from the fact that, “I’d switched from
being a worshiper to a worker.” (p.
186) Grace. Again.
Truth. Again. To me, this is the Holy work of God through
His obedient servant. She always gives
God the glory for her work. That is why she is able to write such thought
provoking, healing words. That is why
readers like me answer the hard questions at the end of each chapter and
rejoice in our discovery.
You’re Loved No Matter What deals with a very personal,
common struggle with the desire for perfection in our lives. When we realize the source of this
desire, we recognize perfection is found
only in God through Jesus Christ, and accept the life-long journey of being
transformed by the renewing of our minds will we be able to lay this burden
down and be free to be the person God created us to be. Sometimes that means saying “no”. Always it means that God is in control. And the guilt and shame and depression and
all of that other trash is the lie of the enemy to keep us in bondage to a
wrong view of the relationship we have with God through Jesus.
Readers, this book has been a powerful tool of God in my
life. I humbly, fervently, boldly
recommend this to every daughter of God.
It will change your life.
