Our next Women of Thanks study will be on the book, A Perfect Mess, by Lisa Harper. In this beautiful book, Lisa takes her readers through the Psalms in a very honest and fun way. She teaches us in very practical ways how we can apply some honest truth mixed with God's graces as we seek to unpack the way God sees us... as His precious daughters in need of His perfect love.
Taken from the back cover...
"In this liberating look at how God adores and transform imperfect people, Bible teacher Lisa Harper weaves poignant stories of her own personal foibles with a fresh take on selected psalms to reveal a loving Father who remains your greatest champion, even when you don't feel anywhere close to Holy. Join Lisa in discovering what happens when we stop trying to hide our inadequacies and doubts and instead trust God with our anger, frustrations, flaws, and regrets. As you accept God's loving invitation to exchange your junk for His joy, you'll find the imperfect pieces of your life shaped into a glorious pattern of divine grace."
Beginning on Thursday, January 12, a group of women and I will begin our 12-week journey through this book together. In addition, I will sharing our insights and some highlights from our group discussions with YOU here online at The Journey.

Hello! Martha mtown@frontiernet.net.
I love everything Lisa writes,and I love the Psalms! Hugs to you Wendy!
"Mess!" I love the word! Boy do I have a storie to tell you...but a long storie short...My messy inperfections,was simply God preparing to use me and the doors began to open. I myself have learned so much from reading the book of Psalms. As I was looking to be feed, it seemed that Psalm was easy reading for a New Bible reader and often advise students to begin there.
Paslm 105:2 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!
Because God is not is not good...God is GREAT <3 Be Blessed!

Psalms has always been my favorite book in the Bible, mostly because it's not difficult to understand and it has so many happy and strong verses. I can read Pslams 23 a thousand times and I know it always gives me the strength I need to get through whatever peak or valley I'm in. I love to read...and now that I'm not working I'll have more time for reading.
