For the Love: Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards

Jen Hatmaker, a Christian writer and speaker, writes a series of essays in a casual and funny voice about the pressure on women, especially in church and family life, to be perfect. She encourages readers to be generous with themselves and each other, with chapters on friendship, marriage, parenting, body image and faith. She covers topics such as running a household, the idea of the "mommy wars," and the need to leave judgment aside, and she relies on personal stories to make her point about grace.

It's for Christian women who feel they're not measuring up and want humor and encouragement. If you like warm, conversational writing from a faith perspective, you'll find something to take away.

Practical, inward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
