Grace is a term that in the Christian context I had a hard time wrapping my head around. I knew that grace was God’s unmerited favor and without that gift of grace, there is no salvation. I had a hard time understanding grace between humans, until I met some truly graceful people. These people, who have asked not to be named, came into my life during a period of great change, when I was searching for direction.

I am a textbook Enneagram 1. Everything is black and white with me, there is no gray. Truth, justice, loyalty, and ethical are all words that resonate to my core. Grace doesn’t fit into my make up so easily. God had to stretch me, I had to grow in grace so that I could learn to walk in it. Grace Looks Amazing on You may help you to learn to walk in grace as well.

About Grace Looks Amazing On You

What if today is the perfect time to notice God’s grace in one another?
Women are so often weighed down by comparison, anxiety, and fear that the idea that grace could look amazing on them feels unbelievable. But all around us are flashes of grace, shining examples of God’s love.

Amy Seiffert says it’s the everyday moments that Jesus shines through: making time for a friend even when your to-do list is pages long; apologizing to your neighbor when you don’t want to admit you are wrong; opening the Bible when your soul feels hollow and empty.

Making the choice to accept God’s limitless love no matter what and reflecting it back to the world around you—friend, that’s when His grace looks amazing on you.

A perfect gift to affirm and encourage any woman, Grace Looks Amazing on You is a timeless Christian message packed with personal story and reflection, Scripture, and deep biblical truth. This 100-day devotional will help you change your perspective so you can confidently radiate the grace of Christ.

Mom Maven’s Thoughts

Grace Looks Amazing on You is a well-written devotional for moms wanting to grow deeper in their relationship with God and His Grace. I’ve only had the book for about a week so I haven’t read it completely. One devotional that stood out was #52 Look Up its about celebrating others instead of comparing ourselves to them.

Author, Amy Seifert, writes like she is telling a story to a friend, which is very endearing and enjoyable. Her honesty, vulnerability, humor, and wisdom come across in each devotion. I admire her ability to see the God lessons in everyday life.

While this book, which is available on Amazon, would be a wonderful gift for any young mom, older moms may have trouble relating to the stories Amy shares, I know I did. My kids are grown so stories of young children aren’t relevant to me. We homeschooled birth- high school so all her stories about waiting for the school bus are lost on me. That being said, I will be gifting this book to a young mom in my life because I know she will appreciate the wisdom within its pages.

We watched the movie as a family last Saturday night. The story of grace and redemption is powerful and the acting is well done. Overall we enjoyed the movie though there were some glaring inconsistencies that we all saw, though that is to be expected, considering this is the first movie from Memphis-based Graceworks Pictures in conjunction with Calvary Pictures. The first thing that jumped out at us is the police officers never wear their seat belts! Also, in some of the driving scenes the police officer is moving the steering wheel like he is turning but the background never changes.

In case you aren’t familiar with The Grace Card here is a brief synopsis:

Everything can change in an instant … and take a lifetime to unravel. When Mac McDonald loses his son in an accident, the ensuing 17 years of bitterness and pain erodes his love for his family and leaves him angry with God … and just about everyone else.

Mac’s rage stonewalls his career in the police department and makes for a combustible situation when he’s partnered with Sam Wright, a rising star on the force—who happens to be a part-time pastor and a loving family man.

Can they somehow join forces to help one another when it’s impossible for either of them to look past their differences—especially the most obvious one?

Every day, we have the opportunity to rebuild relationships and heal deep wounds by extending and receiving God’s grace. Offer THE GRACE CARD … and never underestimate the power of God’s love.

So, now that you know about The Grace Card, would you like to win your own copy of the DVD?
