For the Love

Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards

Narrated by: Jen Hatmaker

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Best-selling author Jen Hatmaker is convinced life can be lovely and fun and courageous and kind. She reveals with humor and style how Jesus’ embarrassing grace is the key to dealing with life's biggest challenge: people. The majority of our joys, struggles, thrills, and heartbreaks relate to people, beginning with ourselves and then the people we came from, married, birthed, live by, go to church with, don’t like, don’t understand, fear, compare ourselves to, and judge. Jen knows how the squeeze of this life can make us competitive and judgmental, how we can lose love for others and then for ourselves. She reveals how to:

• Break free of guilt and shame by dismantling the unattainable Pinterest life.
• Learn to engage our culture’s controversial issues with a grace-first approach.
• Be liberated to love and release the burden of always being right.
• Identify the tools you already have to develop real-life, all-in, know-my-junk-but-love-me-anyway friendships.
• Escape our impossible standards for parenting and marriage by accepting the standard of “mostly good.”
• Laugh your butt off.

In this raucous ride to freedom for modern women, Jen Hatmaker bares the refreshing wisdom, wry humor, no-nonsense faith, liberating insight, and fearless honesty that have made her beloved by women worldwide.

Oh man.

This girl, these stories, the overarching theme--all the things. Together they make this such a warm, wise and wonderful book that I am going to listen again AND I bought the hardcover AND I'm thinking of all the people I want to gift copies to.

I laughed a lot and cried a little which is my qualifier for the very best stories. Plus, this one made me want to always be better--for the love.

Such a gift!

I normally buy the book book, not always the audible version, but for some reason I made a change. What a blessing... I LOVED listening to Jen read this book. I know I will go back and listen to it again even just to get a few laughs...fashion advice or her thank you notes! Thank you for sharing your gifts...for the love!

My most favorite book!

So much truth, humor and love in this book. So many amazing nuggets I can't wait to apply to my life. I didn't want it to end and now I kinda want to move to Austin and stalk my way into Jen's inner circle. #girlcrush
