This book is worth more than 3 stars, but in light of all the 5-star reviews (written by young bloggers, probably) I find myself compelled to provide a counterpoint. For the Love: Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards is a fun stream-of-consciousness roller coaster ride through the rants and raves of a Jesus-loving, preacher's wife and mother-of-5, sprinkled with a little minor celebrity glitz. It is, therefore, not what I expected.The book is truly funny, easy to read in small snatches and occasionally makes a great point of practical theology. (“If you can make a pot of chili and use a cell phone, then you can create community.†Or, “Anytime the rich and poor combine, we should listen to whoever has the least power.â€) However, it is not what I expected because the title suckered me. I thought it was going to be a straight-up education about grace applied to ourselves primarily and others secondarily, something we all sorely need, whether we are coming from the get-your-life-in-line end of the spectrum or the let-it-all-hang-out end. But it's not. After the wonderful Introduction, grace is never directly addressed again, and there are whole chapters which don't even use the word. There IS a chapter on fashion, multiple chapters addressing pet peeves, Jen's life in Facebook posts and several intricate recipes. Yes, there are a couple more serious chapters about missions (seemingly borrowed from When Helping Hurts) and church leaders, but there is approximately one Bible reference (ok, I found three more in the second-to-last, confusing chapter encouraging women to lead more) and for a book touting grace, I felt kind of ragged on a few times.I could be the author's mother (if I'd had a couple rough and/or promiscuous teen years), so there's one other thing I've got to say: sometimes this good-hearted lady knows not of what she speaks. By her own admission she hasn't been through a lot of hardships. She has a loving pastor-husband, five great kids who are still at home, and she and her friends cheer on one another's published books, released CD's and popular podcasts. Talk to me again when there's only one of you working on your marriage, when your grown child has embraced atheism, when you've had a significant part of your body disfigured, or when your best friend or your dreams have died a slow death. Then you can write a serious book aimed at lifting burdens, explaining modern dilemmas or applying grace to self-condemnation. Until then, please adhere to truth in advertising by subtitling your book: Funny Blogs about Being a Middle-aged Christian Mom.Please buy this book (seriously, do) if you want to read some light yet inspiring Christian humor. Just don't be fooled by the title like I was. And, Jen, when you decide to write the book you promised in the Introduction, I'll stand in line for it.
Hatmaker is hilarious, peppering jokes between tear jerker odes to her loved ones, community, and Jesus. The chapter about "Callings" by itself makes it worth it to get the book. She also fills an important hole in common Christian writing - she talks about grace, but also addresses the need for people to leave abusive and toxic relationships. She also frankly addresses modern problems in the church, such as homophobia, science-aversion, and unnecessary dogmatism. It's a good book! I have to whine about something though. I was personally quite miffed by the bits on cooking. She has a little speel about how "we" do have time to cook healthy meals, mixed in with a mockery of advertisements for fast food and packaged food. Then she follows it up with a recipe that requires two hours in the oven. I remembered that Hatmaker does not work a nine to five job like most of us and, suddenly, that comment made sense. If I tried that, husband and I would be eating dinner at 8:45 P.M. Correction, I would be crying from hunger by 7:15 P.M. and husband would have bought us burgers by 7:20 P.M. I was very much enjoying the book but was very disheartened by the way she talked about food as some kind of relationship glue. I grew up with and live with people who just don't care that much about food - investing extra time and money into food would mean disappointment and a slimmer budget for me. I know because I've tried; I had to change my standards about food to "Well, they are easily pleased. That's a blessing." I think I was so bothered by the comments because the rest of the book is such a good representation of finding acceptance and satisfaction. Cooking is such a sore subject for so many women and I wish Hatmaker had been a little gentler with it. Anyway, she is a good writer and the book is encouraging and thoughtful on the whole.
The best of Jen Hatmaker to date, in my opinion. She makes me laugh so hard, I cry. Her stories are so real and encouraging. Her approach to loving her family, friends, and the disenfranchised people around her is what I believe God expects from all Christ followers. Her approach is Grace based, which is where God has been leading me to focus. After 40 years as a Southern Baptist, married to a minister, the daughter of a staff member, and myself a pianist/organist, the judgmental, political leanings of the denomination has become more and more disgusting to me. Jen's thoughts and scripture references help me pray through what path God is leading me down as I try to love people unconditionally.
Save your money! This book is a mere compilation of Jenn Hatmakers opinions on other Christians, while using quick witted and back handed one liners. It's ALL OVER THE PLACE. Definitely not a study or anything. The title is misleading, it's not about finding grace at all! If you want my copy, feel free to reach out, I'm looking to get rid of mine, or perhaps I'll just toss it.
This book is more a monologue of Jen Hatmaker's life. A whole chapter devoted to whether leggings are pants? I quit half way through. This wasn't about enriching my relationship with the Lord as much as stand up comedy from her life. Disappointed.
