A Perfect Mess by Lisa Harper

To be honest I am still working through this book.  There are so many times when I feel exactly like the title of this book.  I am taking my time and digesting the truths that Ms Harper is sharing.  I also happen to adore the Psalms and Ms. Harper takes you on a journey through some of Psalms showing us why we do not need to worry about our less than perfect moments because He loves us just as we are, a mess, but at the same time His beautiful Daughter.  If you struggle with feeling like you are a mess then this book will encourage you and let you know you are not alone!  I really like Ms Harper’s writing style and personal stories which makes this book a delight to read.

On those days when French fries litter the floor of your minivan, when you think bad words about other drivers, when your smile hides an anxious heart–in those moments when you fall short of all you’d hoped to be–what does God see when He looks at you? 

In your less-than-lovely moments, 

God sees a precious daughter in need of His perfect love.

In this liberating look at how God adores and transforms imperfect people, Bible teacher Lisa Harper weaves poignant stories of her own personal foibles with a fresh take on selected Psalms to reveal a loving Father who remains your greatest champion even when you don’t feel anywhere close to holy.

Join Lisa in discovering what happens when we stop trying to hide our inadequacies and doubts and instead trust God with our anger, frustrations, flaws, and regrets. As you accept God’s loving invitation to exchange your junk for His joy, you’ll find the imperfect pieces of your life shaped into a glorious pattern of divine grace.
