Abby Johnson thought she knew what mercy was when she ushered
desperate women toward abortion as the director of a Planned
Parenthood facility. She was wrong. It wasn't until she understood
the blood on her hands that she personally experienced the power of
God's fierce yet tender mercy to transform her life. But she never
imagined what could happen once she allowed that very mercy to
infiltrate her life and spill out into a hurting world. In Fierce
Mercy, Abby calls you to experience a transformation of your own.
Against the backdrop of her first decade involved in the pro-life
movement, Abby helps you discover God's unrestrained mercy at work
in your own life and take steps toward becoming a channel of that
life-changing mercy in the world around you. She shows you how to
model God's mercy, freely offer mercy to those who seem
undeserving, respond with mercy when others err or offend, and bear
witness to God's unrestrained compassion so that others may know
him. This is Abby's challenge to you: dare to do what is hard, what
is right, and what is good. And do all of it in love.
Andrea Logan White appeared to be living the "American dream" or
what many would call a "perfect life." However, underneath the
happy veneer of the model, actress, and producer, was a subtle,
caustic voice leading to emptiness and self-destruction. She was
being crushed under the weight of her own drive for "perfection."
Andrea's remarkable (and often tabloid-worthy) journey that took
her from hanging out in the Playboy mansion to finding God at a
stop light on Hollywood Boulevard is a page-turner, but it is not
the whole story. Even discovering Jesus, finding an amazing
husband, having beautiful children, and embarking on an exciting
career didn't hold the "happily ever after" Hollywood ending Andrea
had envisioned. No matter how successful, how spiritual, how loved,
she was still enslaved by a lie the Enemy uses against many of us:
she felt she needed to be "perfect" to be accepted by herself, by
others, and by God. Andrea shares her struggle with
life-threatening eating disorders and self-defeating thought
patterns, and she reveals the beautiful discovery that God's love
meets us not in our perfection, but in the most unfinished places
of our life. In Perfectly Unfinished, Andrea exposes the powerful
truth that continues to change her life: God loves us just as we
are, just where we are; for it is in the midst of our brokenness
and imperfections that Jesus is at work completing us so that we
may share fully in his holiness. Alongside Andrea, readers discover
from the word of God how to join God in the work he is doing in the
midst of our unfinished and imperfect lives.
When we live with unresolved anger or hurt, the result is nearly
always bitterness, broken relationships, and unhealthy behaviors.
Unforgiveness not only sabotages our interactions with those around
us, it impedes our own spiritual growth and inner peace. And it can
happen to anyone. In her most vulnerable writing yet, Ruth Graham
reveals how a visit to Angola Prison inspired her to release the
unforgiveness lurking in her own heart--toward others, herself, and
even her heavenly Father and her earthly father, evangelist Billy
Graham. In this encouraging book, she weaves her own personal
experiences with biblical examples to explore what holds us back
from forgiving others and ourselves--and what we gain when we
finally discover the power to forgive. Along the way, she guides us
into our own deeply personal experiences of forgiveness that will
penetrate our protective walls and unleash true transformation in
our lives.
