Stumbling Into Grace by Lisa Harper

In this engaging book, Lisa Harper shares her heart, life, and insight with readers. The subtitle of the book, “Confessions of a Sometimes Spiritually Clumsy Woman” is so fitting. This book is written in a real, let’s sit down and chat sort of conversational style. Harper is real and has no problem sharing personal stories – even some less than flattering ones! Using stories as a way to introduce Biblical concepts, Harper writes in such a way that really pulls the reader in to what she is trying to say. The book is divided into three sections: real life, real gifts, and real growth. She ends the chapters with a prayer, questions for personal reflection and/or group discussion, and a journal entry prompt. Through this, it is apparent that Harper wants the reader to really engage and internalize what she is saying. This is more than just a book to read. It’s truth to sink in. To change. To transform. I thorough enjoyed reading this book and felt that I had left a good, funny conversation with Harper.
