You guys know that I am a long-time fan of Jen Hatmaker.  She is my virtual BFF, but she doesn’t know it.  I have read several of her books, follow her blog and on social media, and was able to hear her speak.  You guys, she is wonderful.  And absolutely hilarious.

I was able to get my hands on an early digital copy of her book For the Love, releasing August 18.  For the Love:  Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards is a collection of essays written by Jen dealing with a wide range of topics.  Jen encourages us to reimagine Jesus’ grace as a way of life, for ourselves and for others.  She reminds us that we are called to be the good news to a hurting world.  And she does it all with humor that will have you laughing out loud while you read.

A short preview, just for fun:

Thanks to Jen and Noonday Collections, I was able to get my hands on an early print copy.  And I want to share that with you, my lovely readers.
