Grace for amateurs

Lily Burana was desperate for a rescue from her depression and anxiety. She was down to her remedy of last resort: faith. A lapsed believer who had drifted away from the church and into a life on the margins during her young adult years, Lily had long believed that Christianity had nothing to offer her. In this collection of linked essays that chronicle her spiritual recovery, Lily navigates her own unique path toward a trusting relationship with God as she addresses topics as diverse as coming out as Christian to your non-Christian friends, the intersection of faith and motherhood, and what it means to confront your history of mental illness and trauma. Lily proves that you don't need to have a flawless faith in order to experience God's grace in action. -- Adapted from back cover.
