On those days when French fries litter the floor of your minivan, when you think bad words about other drivers, when your smile hides an anxious heart–in those moments when you fall short of all you’d hoped to be–what does God see when He looks at you? In your less-than-lovely moments, God sees a precious daughter in need of His perfect love.In this liberating look at how God adores and transforms 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.

"I absolutely adore stories about prodigal children returning home to find true love. Which is what happens here. With the tensions around police shootings recently, I had to push myself past the first few pages. The storyline of a police officer so hyped on the “blue haze” that she pulled a gun on an elderly woman, then joked about not pulling it on the child left me a little nauseated. I am glad I swallowed my initial reservations and continued on with the story. The story of Bree and Del was beautiful. The loner (Del) who had a crush on the cheerleader (Bree) runs as far away from her hometown as she can is called back home to hell her father. At a career crossroads, Del goes home to run her father’s shop, which is coincidentally staffed with soon-to-be divorcée and former cheerleader, Bree. <br/><br/>You will enjoy this sweet love story.<br/><br/>I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review."
