Justice is getting what you deserve. Mercy is not getting what you deserve. And grace is getting what you absolutely don't deserve.
Summary: Sin Boldly
Rating: 5
I'm sad to say I just finished Sin Boldly: A Field Guide to Grace. Sad, because I wanted it to keep going.
Sin Boldly is a book to savor. Moving. Simple. Profound. Honest. Confessional. Not only does it communicate great things, but it is simply written with beauty and style. It's exquisite as a piece of art and provoking as a piece of literature.
What Wild at Heart did to perpetuate misinformed and dehumanizing stereotypes of men, Sin Boldly recovers as a pure and humanizing ballad for humanity to rediscover ourselves and live into the potential and possibilities of what we can become at our best and worst.
Summary: Honest and Affirming
Rating: 5
This book puts you on the lookout for grace. Falsani finds it in unlikely places and opens your eyes to do the same. I love the book - when I was finished, started over again to savor it. Thank you Cathleen Falsani!

The title gets your attention and so do the stories that journalist Cathleen Falsani tells. The subtitle - "A Field Guide for Grace" -- is really what this book is about. It's not a theological treatise. It's a very human look at moments in Falsani's life when she was open to a sense that God was breaking through in some way. She has a eye for detail and a writing style that makes you feel as though you are sitting with a good friend whose wisdom illuminates previously unseen corners of life.
Summary: Grace... why yes it is everywhere... ;)

The title was definetly an eye catcher for me and caused me to be rather curious as to what does it mean to Sin Boldly... and is that as a Christian a good thing... aren't we called to not sin...?
After I got out of my cloud of confusion of what direction the book would take I was surprised both by the simplicity and beauty of language. Falsani went through stories of her life by painting pictures of the experiences that God has guided her through. We have all learned at least one definition of the word grace, however Falsani tells a story of how grace prevails even in the most dire of circumstances. From remote villages in Africa, to Katrina destroyed areas, to a funeral for the late Pope.
How often do you look for grace to emerge from the ashes? How often do you pray for grace to come and over come the ugly of this world? But it does... it really does... I had never thought of grace touching each experience in my life. This book doesn't contain a ton of theological rock your brain until something convicting and wowing pops out about grace. Rather, takes a more simple don't overlook experiences look at grace. It truly is everywhere and even if you don't think you have experienced it in one way or another, you need to take a step back and realize that you really have.
