BOOK GIVEAWAY--WORK IN PROGRESS--AN UNFINISHED WOMAN'S GUIDE TO GRACE

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

“She brightens a room, can literally alter the energy before she opens her mouth. Her presence alone is uplifting, her warmth is genuine radiance, and her eye contact feels like a gift.” Wow! Where is this woman? I want to meet her. I agree with Kristin Armstrong: “Anything with her would be just fine.”

After reading her book, Work In Progress—An Unfinished Woman’s Guide to Grace, I thought to myself: Kristin Armstrong is that woman!

Kristin wouldn’t agree. As she states in the title of her splendid book, she sees herself as a woman in progress—a woman growing in grace. In this book she offers a candid guide to help women find peace, faith, and strength on their path to becoming women of grace.

Now, at a time when society gives women so many wrong messages about what it means to be a woman, Kristin offers her positive, inspiring perspective on what it means to be a woman of grace. Filled with Scripture and personal anecdotes, Work In Progress describes the twelve traits of a graceful woman and shows readers how they can be truly transformed.

Kristin writes that it was not easy for her to let go of her ex-husband, famed cyclist, Lance Armstrong. But she did let go, she forgave—and she has moved on. My question is: “How in the world could he let her go?” She readily admits that she is a “work in progress—an unfinished woman. Like so many of us, I guess Lance grew impatient with the growth process. But his decision to leave caused him to miss the glory of her grace.

Ladies I started out reading and reviewing this book for you. I really did. Almost all of my blogging friends are women. I thought this might be a book you would like and profit from. I ended up learning about twelve traits I need in my own life. As a result of reading this book I am growing in grace. I recommend this book especially to women but also to men—even rusty, recently retired, old rascals like myself.
