Additional information
by Emily P. Freeman (Author)
Many of us believe we are saved by grace--but for too many, that's the last time grace defines our life. Instead of walking in grace every day, we strive to be good, believing that the Christian life means hard work with an unshakable good mood.
When we fail to measure up to our own impossible standards, we hide behind our good-girl masks, determined to keep our weakness a secret.
In Grace for the Good Girl, Emily P. Freeman invites women to let go of the try-hard life and realize that in Christ we are free to receive from him rather than constantly try to achieve for him.
With an open hand and a whimsical style, Emily encourages women to move from hiding behind masks and do-good performances to the freedom of a life hidden with Christ in God.
