| LifeOvers |
|
| “Lifeovers” helps women develop a more intimate relationship with God. In this book, Gracie encourages women to look at Christ in a new way. When He taught it was in paradoxes and riddles that always ended in unexpected ways—just like life tends to do. Jesus’s teachings challenge us to live life in ways that seem completely upside down to what society tells us to pursue. In this twelve-week journey through the teachings of Jesus, Gracie guides women, either individually or in small groups, into a deeper understanding of a God who is control even when it doesn’t feel like it. With Gracie’s powerful writing readers will discover that through this new outlook they get a chance to do life as God intends as well as in ways that bring amazing grace and abundant joy.
