Stumbling Into Grace by Lisa Harper

Have you ever taken a moment to look at your crazy, chaotic life and wondered how God could still love you, imperfections and all?  Lisa Harper in her book Stumbling Into Grace: Confessions of a Sometimes Spiritually Clumsy Woman walks us (or rather, helps us stumble) through her real-life experiences and imperfections and how she manages to still hold on strong to her faith while intricately working the teachings of Jesus into her day to day life.

A speaker and Bible teacher, Harper takes many known and unknown stories of the Bible and shows us why they are still applicable to today's high-tech, fast-paced world.  Everything from talking about the disciples tweeting and Facebooking to giving entertaining, relatable and intricate back stories to some of the sinners depicted in the scripture, she brings to life many of the teachings of Jesus.

Speaking very openly and honestly about her own life experiences, Harper has her readers literally laughing through one chapter and crying through the next.  Wonderfully written and easy to read, the book leaves you longing to head out for some drinks with the author.  Harper is funny, witty and very well versed in scripture gaining her credibility and relatability through the entire book.

Whether you are brand new to the Bible or are a highly educated theologian, this book will bring Jesus' teachings to life in new and exciting ways, making the Bible relate thoroughly to our lives today while reminding us of its true purpose: to show us God's unending and amazing love despite all of our stumbling and staggering.  I would highly recommend this book to all audiences as an easy read that is sure to leave you in high spirits and looking at life through new and refreshed eyes.
