In This Is Awkward, Sammy Rhodes talks directly, honestly, and hilariously (because sometimes we need to laugh) about the most painfully uncomfortable subjects in our lives. In chapters like "Parents Are a Gift (You Can't Return Them)" and "D is for Depression", he boldly goes where most of us fear to tread, revealing that we can be liberated by the embrace of a god who knows the most shameful things about us and loves us all the same. Because nothing is too awkward for God.

Two of the greatest fears in life come in the form of questions we often ask ourselves but rarely say out loud: "Am I okay?" and "Do you love me?" The answer the Gospel gives us is both surprising and just what we need to hear: "No, you are not okay," and, "Yes, I love you." Jesus holds these two truths about us together, and this is the good news we desperately need.
