Description
For Lisa Velthouse’s whole life, Christianity had been about getting
things right. Obeying her parents. Not drinking. Not cursing. Not having
premarital sex. Vowing to save her first kiss until she got engaged,
even writing a book called . . . well, Saving My First Kiss.
(This, it turns out, does not actually help a girl get a date.) Yet
after two decades of trying to earn God’s okay, she found her faith was
lonely, empty, and unsatisfying. So she turned to more
discipline, of course: fasting! By giving up her favorite
foods—sweets—Lisa hoped to somehow discover true sweetness and meaning
in her relationship with God. Until, one night at a wedding, she denied
herself the cake but failed in such a different, unexpected, and
world-rocking way that it challenged everything she thought she knew
about God and herself. Craving Grace is the true story of a faith
dramatically changed: how in one woman’s life God used a bitter heart, a
broken promise, and the sweetness of honey to reveal the stunning
wonder that is grace.
