Publisher's Description
Justice is getting what you deserve. Mercy is not getting what you deserve. And grace is getting what you absolutely don't deserve. Award-winning author and columnist Cathleen Falsani says, “People regularly ask me why I believe in God. The simple answer … is grace.” In Sin Boldly: A Field Guide to Grace, Falsani explores the meaning and experience of grace through story and song, quotes and photos. Falsani says, “Grace makes no sense to our human minds. We're hardwired to seek justice, or our limited idea of what that means, and occasionally dole out mercy. Grace is another story.” Sin Boldly is an uplifting, multifaceted, and thought-provoking look at what makes grace so amazing.

“Praise for Sin Boldly: A Field Guide for Grace Here's an utterly original, unflinchingly honest, heart-expanding treatment of my favorite topic: the grace of God. I was so captivated that I missed church while reading it—and Cathleen's lyrical insights refreshed my soul more than any sermon could have. I won't be the same having read it.”
“Cathleen Falsani is an excellent writer and a wonderful storyteller. Sin Boldly combines these two gifts in inspiring and entertaining stories that remind us that grace is often as unexpected as it is undeserved. This is a book that should be read by anyone who knows they need the grace of God.”
“handle on it.”
“freelance Christian” Cathleen Falsani hoists a flag for Grace, impetuously jumping in where angels (and theologians) have feared to tread. Her enthusiasm flies off the page, but there's wisdom, too, as she uses music, art, and story to illustrate her understandings of Grace, that heavenly benison that resists verbal definition but brings faith to vivid life. Her vision of God at work is broad and bold, and I suspect he is smiling!”
“Sin Boldly is full of hidden treasure and healthy pleasure. Simply put, Cathleen Falsani writes with grace about grace.”
“Cathleen Falsani reminds us of the immense potential of a life rooted and showered in grace—grace that is ever present in every place if we could just open our eyes and hearts. In fact, the very act of reading Sin Boldly is an experience of grace, and you cannot ask that a book be any more wonderful than that. Read this book because it will truly make a difference in your life. But be prepared to laugh and cry and dance, and be ready to live more boldly and love more courageously.”
“and obnoxious attitudes, grace will crash even our most pathetic pity parties.”
“Not often do I find a nonfiction book that delights me with Story the way Sin Boldly does. With humor, tenderness, and a storyteller's attention to detail, Cathleen Falsani takes us on a ride to show us her world of grace—a grace found in the most unexpected places. Through her honesty and peculiar perspective, Cathleen Falsani made me laugh and cry, and gave me the space in which to believe again.”
