Gracious Living: Creating a Culture of Honor, Love, and Compassion

Are you creating a life warmed by honor, love, and compassion? Or are you caught up in a "do for all until you hit the wall" atmosphere? Maybe your life is chaos central-or just the opposite-strictly glued to the high-control side. Perhaps, disappointments are zapping your spirit.

For most women, all those atmospheres swirl. Yet, we long for centered lives full of joy, purpose, and soul-calming peace.

In Gracious Living, Margaret Allen provides an eye-opening look into the atmospheres we create in our homes, churches, workplaces-and our own heads. With prophetic insights from Scripture, Margaret digs deep into her own experience with God, using humor, raw vulnerability, and wisdom to shine light on a loving way to do life. She uses a velvet hammer to help women:

• Destroy inept attempts at being pleasant.
• Get down to real-deal ways to speak joy and hope into others-and our own souls.
• Embrace lives filled with honor, love, and compassion.
