Star for Jesus (And Other Jobs I Quit)

“For anyone seeking solace from the exhausting cycle of proving their worth, Star for Jesus is an invaluable and hilarious companion, pointing you to the transformative power of embracing God’s unconditional love and grace.”—Jennifer Dukes Lee, author of Growing Slow and Stuff I’d Only Tell God

“Warm, witty, and infinitely relatable, the stories on these pages invite us to stop striving and start accepting the unforced rhythms of grace that God so graciously offers us. Kimberly Stuart is a natural-born storyteller who has given us a gem of a book to guide us toward glimmers of grace in our messy, real lives.”—Kayla Craig, creator of Liturgies for Parents and author of Every Season Sacred and To Light Their Way

“Kim Stuart is one of the most delightful humans we know—buoyant but deep, hilarious but tender—and that same spirit flows through these pages. This book is a personal but universal guide to releasing the tidy and simplistic life of faith we thought we should live in order to receive a messier, grace-filled, transcendent life of faith that actually is.”—Katherine and Jay Wolf, coauthors of Hope Heals and Suffer Strong

“Star for Jesus (And Other Jobs I Quit) is a great book, beautifully written by an author who isn’t afraid to dig a little deeper to discover a life that matters. Through the telling of thoughtful, nostalgic, and very funny stories, we are reminded that the secret to living a life full of meaning is found in the Giver of endless grace.”—Maria Goff, wife, mother, grandmother, and author of Love Lives Here

“This book is a powerful shot of grace for the common human being, the only kind of human being there is.”—Sean Dietrich, also known as Sean of South and author of Kinfolk

“You won’t leave this book the same way you opened it; you will leave more in awe of God, and you can find the wild relief of the good news that no one ever asked you to be a star for Jesus.”—Jess Connolly, author of Breaking Free from Body Shame and Tired of Being Tired

"This is a book about the power of grace in the world. It is an invitation to take your most extravagant version of grace out on the road for a spin and see what it can do in your life and the lives of the ones nearby… In these pages that follow, Kim makes giving away grace look easy, because in the end, grace is not merely a feeling, like a ladybug landing on your nose; it is a decision. And Kim has decided to send a bunch of it our way. Buckle up. You are about to get a huge, grace- filled hug in these pages from someone who is awfully good at it. Let grace draw you in and pull you along." ~from the foreword by Bob Goff
