Book Description
AN EPISODE OF GRACE, a full score of new stories by Linda McCullough Moore, will delight readers with uncanny charm, disarming humor, and yes, unlikely but so-welcome episodes of grace. Here are divorcing parents, prisoners, patients, in-laws, wives and husbands caught up in living lives of complication, sometime regret, and willing honesty. These are people we know, people we are, but with a difference. Their confusions and misgivings vie with something very much like joy, like some new understanding of what love might be, of what redemption feels like. These stories take on loss and sadness, but you get your money back if they don’t make you laugh out loud and think perhaps the human enterprise might just be worth another think.

Messy Grace
Author: Caleb Kaltenbach
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 1601427379
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Sometimes, grace gets messy. Caleb Kaltenbach was raised by LGBT parents, marched in gay pride parades as a youngster, and experienced firsthand the hatred and bitterness of some Christians toward his family. But then Caleb surprised everyone, including himself, by becoming a Christian…and a pastor. Very few issues in Christianity are as divisive as the acceptance of the LGBT community in the church. As a pastor and as a person with beloved family members living a gay lifestyle, Caleb had to face this issue with courage and grace. Messy Grace shows us that Jesus’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself” doesn’t have an exception clause for a gay “neighbor”—or for that matter, any other “neighbor” we might find it hard to relate to. Jesus was able to love these people and yet still hold on to his beliefs. So can you. Even when it’s messy. “Messy Grace is an important contribution to the conversation about sexual identity for churches and leaders. Caleb's story is surprising and unique, and he weaves it together compellingly. He states his views clearly, leaves room for disagreement, and champions love no matter where you are in this conversation.” —Jud Wilhite, Sr. Pastor, Central Christian Church
