Gracious Living: Creating a Culture of Honor, Love, and Compassion [Paperback] Allen, Margaret

Are you creating a life warmed by honor, love, and compassion? Or are you caught up in a “do for all until you hit the wall” atmosphere? Maybe your life is chaos central―or just the opposite―strictly glued to the high-control side. Perhaps, disappointments are zapping your spirit.

For most women, all those atmospheres swirl. Yet, we long for centered lives full of joy, purpose, and soul-calming peace.

In Gracious Living, Margaret Allen provides an eye-opening look into the atmospheres we create in our homes, churches, workplaces―and our own heads. With prophetic insights from Scripture, Margaret digs deep into her own experience with God, using humor, raw vulnerability, and wisdom to shine light on a loving way to do life. She uses a velvet hammer to help women:

• Destroy inept attempts at being pleasant.
• Get down to real-deal ways to speak joy and hope into others―and our own souls.
• Embrace lives filled with honor, love, and compassion.
