A funny, thought-provoking memoir-in-essays about learning to understand-again and again-that we can't earn God's love no matter how many rules we follow or boxes we check, and learning to accept the grace that is freely given. Growing up, Kimberly Stuart got really good at strapping on her spiritual tap shoes and trying to be a star for Jesus. She could sing all the songs, ace the sword drills, and know all the right theology. From earning creepy Jesus paperweights in her church's faux Girl Scout program to trying to calm an actual storm on the Mediterranean, she was doing her best... and still found herself longing for something more. She didn't mean to completely ignore the most beautiful tenets of her faith-the unwavering grace and tenacious love of God-but she did. Which, of course, was the problem. Her best was lackluster, and God wasn't looking for a star performer anyway.Star for Jesus (And Other Jobs I Quit), is an invitation for readers to spot unvarnished, amazing grace when they see it. With her trademark wit and transparency, Stuart brings readers through both big and small moments that teach us to cling to the fierce love of God instead of the flimsier versions we find elsewhere.With unflinching honesty and relatable humor, Stuart encourages readers to take another look at unrelenting grace; why, contrary to the cultural narrative, we are not actually enough, and that's good news; how we always, remarkably, have all the grace we need; and why this moment in history is the perfect time to extend no-strings-attached grace to an emotionally bedraggled, wary world.

God loves us, but do we love ourselves? Having listened to hundreds of life stories, Bryan Crum realized too many people carry regret. With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Bob Goff, Neighbor, Love Yourself reminds us all that we are worthy. "This book, a guide to self-love, is filled with wisdom, humor, and invaluable insights that will empower you to live life with newfound confidence and authenticity."--Mark Batterson, author of The Circle Maker God gave us divinely sophisticated tools, so we could live the powerful life he intended. The problem is most of us don't know they exist . . . or how to use them. The result is an inner worth we aren't aware of and a life unknowingly lived at half capacity. Neighbor, Love Yourself launches an internal expedition to uncover the hidden features installed within us bearing our Maker's fingerprints. Though we've forgotten how to use these custom parts, they still work. They're not rusty, just dusty. Bryan Crum spent a decade as a hospice chaplain. His time at the bedside of dying people gave him a front-row view into how God designed us. He discovered that most people felt they never reached their full potential. Their longings and regrets led to incredible insights about what's most often missed--the power of love. Filled with memorable stories and timeless takeaways, Neighbor, Love Yourself reveals how understanding our inner value changes the way we live on the outside. Before we can truly love our neighbors--or anyone else--we must learn to love ourselves as God intended. If you've doubted your design, felt unfulfilled, or are unaware of the divine features inside you, this book is like finding a lost owner's manual to your inner workings--one that invites you to take joy in your pricelessness instead of wondering about your worth.
