LifeOvers: Upside-Down Ways to Become More Like Jesus [Paperback]

Gracie Malone (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2007

Bible teacher Gracie Malone knows that women want to have meaningful relationships with God. But many women think that they need to spend more time and put great effort into chasing God down and fitting him into their already busy lives. Her advice to women is this: look at Christ in a new way. When Jesus 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 just the opposite of what society tells us to pursue. In this twelve-week journey through the teachings of Jesus, Malone guides women, either individually or in small groups, into a deeper understanding of a God who is in control, even when it doesn't feel like it. With Malone's powerful writing, readers will discover that through this new outlook, they get a chance to do life the way God intends.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

An upside-down view of an upright life If you've spent any time studying Jesus's teachings, you may have noticed that they seem a little . . . backward. The last will be first, in giving we receive, there is strength in weakness, the way to life is through death. But what does it all really mean? With a healthy dose of wisdom and wit, Gracie Malone shows you just what walking with God looks like. As she takes you through the upside-down teachings of Jesus, Gracie uncovers the path to a fresh faith in living out the ChristLife. Arranged in twelve thought-provoking chapters complete with study questions, LifeOvers is perfect for small groups or your own personal growth. Gracie Malone is a Precept Bible Study leader.

"Gracie meets women where they live and teaches them to apply God's precepts for life."--Kay Arthur "Through solid scriptural teaching, good old-fashioned common sense, and an uncommon sense of humor, Gracie Malone challenges readers to live life to its fullest."--Ellie Kay, national speaker, international radio commentator, and bestselling author of Half-Price Living "Gracie effortlessly melds humor and relevant truth for women and does so with her trademark styling of warmth and grace. LifeOvers will rattle a few thoughts, challenge some perceptions, and help reveal more than one upside-down secret you probably had never known."--Julie Barnhill, author of She's Gonna Blow!
