Scandalous Grace

What if the problem isn't that you've failed God— but that you've been trying too hard to earn what was never meant to be earned? Most of us grow up believing love works on fairness. Try harder. Do better. Be good enough. Then maybe you'll be accepted. And then grace shows up—and quietly breaks the rules. Scandalous Grace is not a book about being more religious, behaving better, or getting your life together. It's a gentle, honest exploration of what happens when God's love refuses to operate on performance, fairness, or moral scorekeeping—and instead meets us in exhaustion, failure, grief, doubt, and longing. Written for spiritually tired believers and for skeptics who feel burned by religion but still wonder if grace might exist, this book explores grace through lived experience, Scripture, and reflection—without pressure, guilt, or hype. Inside, you'll discover: why trying to be "good enough" keeps you exhausted forgiveness that feels unfair—but frees you identity that isn't earned or fragile community without performance or pretending hope that survives disappointment and unanswered prayers This book is for people who: feel behind in life or faith are tired of self-improvement that never brings peace struggle with shame, guilt, or comparison want spiritual depth without judgment aren't sure what they believe anymore—but want something real You won't find sermons here. You'll find honesty, reflection, and space to breathe. Grace doesn't explain itself. It doesn't compete. It doesn't demand perfection. It simply invites you home. And once you stop fighting for fairness, you may discover that grace was never the problem. It was the answer all along.
