Please accept my apologies for no Saturday Spotlight, I was moving stuff out of storage and was unable to post. Never fear though, this Saturday Brooke Lynn will be back with her book, Raised by Strangers.
Meanwhile, enjoy today's treasure, Grin with Grace by Kathy Carlton Willis. You may recognize Cathy from her promotion company, Kathy Carlton Willis Communications, well.. Grin with Grace is Kathy's book
It Might be Time to Grin with Grace!
Have you ever felt the need to bite your tongue or grit your
teeth? With humor and candor, popular women’s speaker Kathy Carlton Willis
explores ways to smile in the face of adversity and challenging circumstances.
Her go-to phrase Grin with Grace is the title of her latest
book. She explores the word “grace” in Scripture, revealing how God’s grace
blesses us and how it impacts our relationship with Him and with others.
Grin with Grace is part of the Grin With…Bible Study Series. This line of books is designed to help women on the run focus on a central theme. The “study, story and steps” formula helps readers assimilate new traits in small sections, all the while anticipating the next insight.
“You can never have too much of God’s grace,” says Kathy. “While writing this series, I dealt with multiple health issues, surgeries, cancer, and hospitalizations. At the same time, I moved to a different town, diving in to a new church ministry with my husband. Very little in life seemed familiar or comfortable. But God infused grace into each challenge and turned them into opportunities.” Kathy learned anew what the Bible means when it says:

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for
my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more
gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2
Corinthians 12:9 ESV)
Quote from Chapter 7, Grin with Grace:
God’s grace strengthens us to live the lives He directs us to live. When we’re weak, grace makes us strong through Christ. His grace is not frail; it’s power-packed.
– Kathy Carlton Willis
There’s an important element about grace. It’s not meant to be hoarded, regardless of its wonderful value. Once God blesses us with grace, we are then recruited to His team to be instruments of His grace to others. Grin with Grace tells stories of real-life grace and gives suggestions for creating new grace moments for others. Every Bible passage is contained in the text, accommodating ease of reading anytime, anywhere. Read it straight through as a book, use it as a personal study, or join with a group to discuss the material together. The chapters are short enough to combine—resulting in a seven-week group study.
