Lipstick Grace: Glimpses of Life, Love, and the Quest for the Perfect Lip Gloss

by Nancy Kennedy

The Just-Right Shade of Grace

Hmmm….Kissable Kiwi or Fire Engine Red? To hold your child tight like you desperately want to, or let him go like he needs? Every woman grapples with such life issues and intangibles as faith, mercy, grace, and hope…but few have the ability to dress theology in blue jeans and flip-flops like Nancy Kennedy.
A compilation of witty weekly columns written by Nancy for the Citrus County Chronicle in Florida, Lipstick Grace contains many musings–not all of which wrap up in nice, neat packages (because the important things in life rarely do!). In this reflective collection, you’ll find the sufficiency of God holding you steady. It’s big enough for all of your greatest fears, your deepest doubts, and your bathroom drawer full of all the wrong shades of lipstick.

Funny and spot on with how we women can and do look at life.

Meh, there were chapters that were amazing but yet others that I did not agree with.

I am reading this book a few 'chapters' at a time at night before I go to sleep. it was a birthday gift and while I am enjoying her anecdotes, which make it easy to read just a few at a time, it's frustrating to move from thought to thought every couple of pages. All in all, she shares great insights and it's a great bedside read.

I think every woman can identify with Nancy Kennedy's questions and personal struggles with stuff like anger, faith, trust and sin. I really appreciated her honesty. Some days there's more falling in our walk with God than walking - and by letting our weaknesses show, maybe we can all strengthen each other and stay on our feet! Each chapter is only a page or two, perfect for a daily reading.

This is a really inspirational, funny book written by one of my patients' wives. It is so real. She talks about being a Christian, but still recognizes how flawed we are. It's great. I'm giving all of my sisters copies for their birthdays this summer
