Sin Boldly

Publisher Description

Justice is getting what you deserve. Mercy is not getting what you deserve. And grace is getting what you absolutely don't deserve.

Award-winning author and columnist Cathleen Falsani says, "People regularly ask me why I believe in God. The simple answer is grace." In Sin Boldly: A Field Guide to Grace, Falsani explores the meaning and experience of grace through story and song, quotes and photos.

Falsani says, "Grace makes no sense to our human minds. We're hardwired to seek justice, or our limited idea of what that means, and occasionally dole out mercy. Grace is another story." Sin Boldly is an uplifting, multifaceted, and thought-provoking look at what makes grace so amazing.

"Here's an utterly original, unflinchingly honest, heart-expanding treatment of my favorite topic: the grace of God. I was so captivated that I missed church while reading it - and Cathleen's lyrical insights refreshed my soul more than any sermon could have. I won't be the same having read it."

• Lee Strobel, Author, The Case for the Real Jesus

"Cathleen Falsani is an excellent writer and a wonderful storyteller. Sin Boldly combines these two gifts in inspiring and entertaining stories that remind us that grace is often as unexpected as it is undeserved. This is a book that should be read by anyone who knows they need the grace of God."

• Jim Wallis, President of Sojourners and author of The Great Awakening

"What makes this book about grace so different and special is that it reads like a novel. It gets the reader to FEEL grace rather than just getting a theological handle on it."

• Tony Campolo, Author, Red Letter Christians
