You know her--the good girl. She's the reliable one who shows up
every week at youth group wearing a purity ring and a smile. She
gets good grades, makes the team, and doesn't need to be told to
come home on time. But deep down she is crushed by the weight of
the responsibility to be the good one, the smart one, the one who
never messes up.
With the same candor and gentle spirit she showed women in Grace
for the Good Girl, Emily Freeman now gives young women what
they need to be free on the inside, no matter what's going on
outside. Through an honest look at the roles girls play, she helps
them learn to stop trying and start trusting that the Jesus who
came to save them also comes to live with them, right here and
now.
For the prom queen, the athlete, the bookworm, and the
dreamer.
For the good test taker and the strict list maker. For the rule
follower, the fear wallower, the messy, and the misunderstood. For
the self-critic, the silent judge, and the girl who feels
invisible.
For the girl who is tired of trying and the one afraid to
fail.
These words are for you.
You don't have to be perfect. But do you trust the One who
is?
The God who came to save you also came to live with you, in you,
today.
If you've been struggling with expectations--from your parents,
your teachers, your friends, and even yourself--Graceful is
for you. Are you trying hard to catch up but aren't sure what it is
you're chasing? Read and be set free.
