<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Popular blogger offers women freedom from performance-based Christianity by encouraging them to stop asking "What does God want <i>from</i> me?" and start asking "What does God want <i>for</i> me?"<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Many women feel as if they do not do enough and are not enough. They're always trying hard to be good: a good friend, mom, wife, Christian, employee, or ministry leader, hoping for that "atta-girl" from God. With compelling illustrations from her own life, Christine Hoover leads readers to the understanding that they're living by a lesser gospel, the gospel of goodness, one without Christ's grace. Relying on Scripture, they can start asking, "What does God want <i>for</i> me?" before asking, "What does God want <i>from</i> me?" Women will breathe a sigh of relief at this powerful message of freedom and hope. Rather than serving God out of obligation or duty, they'll be compelled to love and serve God with great joy.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>God is calling you to something greater than </b><b><i>good</i></b><b>.<br/></b><br/>So many of us feel as if we do not do enough and, in fact, are not enough. We try hard to be good--a good friend, mom, wife, Christian, employee, or ministry leader--hoping for that "atta-girl" from God, some heavenly assertion that we matter. In the process, we find ourselves living by a lesser gospel: the gospel of goodness. It's a gospel without grace, and in the end, it's good for nothing.<br/><br/>With compelling illustrations from her own life and from Scripture, Christine Hoover helps you start asking, "What does God want <i>for</i> me?" before asking, "What does God want <i>from</i> me?" You'll find yourself breathing a sigh of relief at this powerful message of freedom and hope. Rather than serving God out of obligation or duty, you'll be compelled to love and serve God with great joy.<br/><br/><br/>"A song of freedom for the world-weary woman."--<b>Emily T.
