The Gospel of Grace

The gospel of grace announces: forgiveness precedes repentance. The sinner is accepted before he pleads for mercy. It is already granted. He need only receive it. Total amnesty. Gratuitous pardon.

God's Unfathomable Grace

Where our hidden shame meets God’s unfathomable grace . . . 

Confessions of a Good Christian Girl

You already know the women you’ll meet in this book. They may sit beside you in the pew . . . or work with you in the church kitchen . . . or move your heart from a speaker’s podium. They all been saved. They all love the Lord. And yet . . .

·        One struggles with suicidal despair.

·        Another is involved with adultery, pornography, or a same-sex attraction.

·        Another endures regular beatings—or worse—by someone who claims to love her.

·        Another is divorced . . . or thinking about it.

·        This one drinks secretly or “doctor shops for pain pills”

·        That one wrestles with depression or bipolar disorder.

·        And many others feel they can never be thin enough, beautiful enough, successful enough . . . or Christian enough to be loved or accepted.

They’re all good Christian girls who have been broken by sin—their own and others.

They all needed the honest, life-giving truth at the heart of this book.

Do you?

Philip Yancey on GRACE

Grace means there is nothing we can do to make God love us MORE.

No amount of spiritual calisthenics and renunciations,

no amount of knowledge gained from seminaries and divinity schools,

no amount of crusading on behalf of righteous cause.

And grace means there is nothing we can do to make God love us less,

no amount of racism or pride or even murder

It’s about sex . . . and drugs . . . and violence . . . and despair.

It’s about the painful and messy predicaments our bad choices—and the choices of others—get us into.

Most of all, it’s about grace. Amazing, almost inconceivable grace. The kind of grace Jesus lavishes on sinners who turn to him.

All sinners—even those who sit next to you at church.

All sinners—even you yourself . . .

In this powerful and life-giving book, Tammy Maltby gets specific about the brokenness in her own life and the lives of other “good girls,” both biblical and the present day. She takes an unflinching look at painful secrets that often lurk behind a “victorious” Christian facade—everything from feelings of inadequacy to sexual misconduct, abuse, divorce, and even suicide.

But her point is not lurid exposé, but healing. She writes to urge all hurting Christian girls to turn once more to the God who is eager to cleanse and heal his straying, struggling daughters. This book is her passionate appeal for God’s people to own up to the sin, brokenness, and shame in our midst, to accept His unfathomable grace with joy and gratitude, and then to extend it liberally to one another . . . and a hurting world.
