Having it all together is a myth. Thank God, His grace is real – and it’s time to take the pressure off…
Every day we are bombarded with messages that tell us we have to be productive, powerful, perfect. And the Church is no exception.
The Good News of Jesus says that we are saved by grace but for Monique Thomas the gravity of this message didn’t sink in until over six years after she first became a Christian. Throughout her time at Bible college, she soon learnt that much of what she had learnt from church culture simply added an extra layer of pressure to that already placed on her by do more, strive more, be more.
This book is for every person who desperately needs to understand the real God has grace for us in our mess, not just in the moments we get out of it.
‘Pressure off’ is definitely a message I can get behind! Great, practical christian teaching which is applied to a range of personal, secular and church spaces - chapter by chapter. I appreciated the author’s honest voice in sharing parts of her own story. Also lots of discussion Qs to work through so you could use this in a small group/book club.
