Grace for the Good Girl by Emily P. Freeman

There are women who are always trying to be good – do the right thing, feel the right way, say the right thing – the good girls. “In that moment, in the middle of all that mess, I had a fleeting, initially unwelcome thought: What is the truth here?” Connect with Emily online at entry was posted in Reading and tagged Inspirational Religious on Septemby Sarah Anne Carter The author of Grace for the Good Girl, she attended Columbia International University to study the Bible and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where she earned a degree in Educational Interpreting for the Deaf.

Freeman is a writer who loves to read and a speaker who would rather listen. *Thanks to Revell for providing a copy for review.*Įmily P. There is so “much” in this little book and I really recommend it. My book is all marked up with tons of things outlined here and there. Emily has a way with her books that really gets you into thinking and I know that her words are in the right direction, because with the first book and again with this one it is shocking how hard and fast the enemy seems to attack.

I am not exactly the “young woman” that this book is written for as I’m married with two children already, but it was not long ago that I was and the words in this book still speak strongly to me and where I am.Īpparently I’m a dreamer, and I never really realized it. Graceful is about the voices within that allow us to hide from who we can be in Christ, while Grace for the Good Girl is about masks. However, as someone who has read both books, there are different details in each that make both a worthy read. Graceful (for Young Women): Letting Go of Your Try-Hard Life is an echo of things I remember reading in Grace for the Good Girl, but they are written for a younger audience with more mention of school and college and jobs than motherhood and marriage as in the original book. I can tell you plenty of good things about Emily’s book Grace for the Good Girl: Letting Go of the Try-Hard Life and when I heard about a review opportunity for a new book I jumped into it not even really looking at the book subject. Read from October 11 to 12, 2012 - I own a copy Are you trying hard to catch up but aren’t sure what it is you’re chasing? Read and be set free. If you’ve been struggling with expectations–from your parents, your teachers, your friends, and even yourself–Graceful is for you.
