Reviews of Sin Boldly
Critical Praise for Sin Boldly:

"Ranging from Chicago to Kenya, New Orleans to Maine, Big Sky to Graceland, [Cathleen] Falsani dons her investigative cap and scouts for grace. This religion columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times is a charming guide to places and people who reveal "grace when and where it happens." Eschewing technical theological definitions, Falsani opts instead to tell how she has experienced grace. And we are vicarious travelers, seeing grace -- "audacious, unwarranted, and unlimited" -- through Falsani's eyes. She marvels at the devotion of young people who crowd to the pope's funeral and at the astoundingly independent women of Asembo Bay in Kenya. She wrestles with anger at a misogynist Tanzanian tour guide and anger at God when her mother and beloved cat face cancer. We traipse along with the author and eavesdrop on her conversations, both external and internal. The result is a pastiche of images meant collectively to reveal God's grace. Though some may find the premise contrived, only a fierce cynic could fail to be drawn into Falsani's tales and candid reflections." — Publishers Weekly

Endorsements for Sin Boldly:

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. — Lee Strobel, Author, The Case for the Real Jesus

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. — Jim Wallis, President of Sojourners and author of The Great Awakening

What makes this book about grace so different and special is that it reads like a novel. It gets the reader to FEEL grace rather than just getting a theological handle on it. — Tony Campolo, Author, Red Letter Christians

Product Details for Sin Boldly
Justice is getting what you deserve. Mercy is not getting what you deserve. And grace is getting what you absolutely don't deserve.

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.
