The Pursuit of Grace

After experiencing trauma, many of us struggle to come to terms with our identities as broken people. We spend lifetimes pursuing what we believe will make us "whole," what we believe will portray the perfect image to those around us. We imprison ourselves within our pursuit of perfection, which is a life of facades. We believe showing any sign of weakness is weakness itself and is something to be ashamed of. But what if there was purpose in the broken pieces and they could be used to testify to true healing? What if we could somehow experience pride, instead of shame, in our brokenness? Would we be brave enough to take that opportunity? The Pursuit of Grace examines these questions and draws readers to the only perfect solution.
Endorsement:It was as if Kristen ran beside me to gently plead for a change of course. I saw myself running for self-fulfillment, chasing after lies, seeking false identities, hiding my trauma, and trying to be everything but His. Kristen reminded me what the race is truly about and Who is actually running to me!

Minister at Durant Church of Christ, Durant, Oklahoma I found myself completely drawn into Kristen's story, letting the truths she discovered sink in deep. In her book, The Pursuit of Grace, she invites us into the freedom that is found when trauma, shame, and brokenness no longer define us. These pages hold a message of hope, helping readers find their way to the source of true identity, self-worth, and lasting freedom.%Christi SlatonSenior Creative Director of Product Development, DaySpring
