Winner of the 2024 ECPA Christian Book Award for Best Bible Study — OVER 100,000 COPIES SOLD!

Perfection Not Required. . .

Many of us believe that we aren’t good enough to meet other people’s expectations. Maybe you can’t wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the carefully curated façade you present in public, it’s there. Being missed and marginalized by others moves us to assume we’re not quite good enough for God either.

The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. In fact, this riveting account reveals that Jesus is especially fond of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger! Join Lisa Harper in this Bible study of a literary masterpiece that doesn’t celebrate the elite, but embraces the outliers, outcasts, and overlooked!

—Beautiful Word^TM Bible Study Series—

What book of the Bible do you turn to for wisdom about the situation you find yourself in? Where do you go for words of comfort when you’re feeling overwhelmed, lost, or frustrated in life?

The Beautiful Word^TM Bible Study series makes the Bible come alive in such a way that you know where to turn no matter where you find yourself on your spiritual journey. Featuring celebrated authors and teachers like Lisa Harper, Margaret Feinberg, and Jada Edwards, each guide is a creative and illuminating journey through one book of the Bible.

Rarely are the terms “hilarious storyteller” and “theologian” used in the same sentence—much less to describe the same person—but Lisa Harper is definitely not stereotypical! She has an earned doctorate from Houston Theological Seminary, has published extensively, and teaches the Bible around the world, but she’s also a frequent belly laugher. She describes her greatest accomplishment as being Missy’s mom through the miracle of adoption, followed closely by learning to wake surf in her sixties.
