If you could point to one thing in your life and say, "Lord, heal this." What would it be? Where does God's mercy most need to abide? We all hold ourselves back from letting God love us, but what if today you let Him in? What would you lay down at the foot of the cross?

In this award-winning Christian devotional, author J. C. Beichner shares her own coming-of-age story of overwhelming childhood loss and her search for forgiveness. Combined with a beautiful collection of prayers, the author’s testimony and reflection help each of us discover the infinite depth of God's mercy. Grace in Progress: Prayers for the Beautifully Broken is an honest and timely reminder of the ever-present availability and abundance of Jesus's love, and the extraordinary ways God uses our brokenness for His purpose. The story of Grace in Progress and the devotional of prayers that follow will forever change the way you encounter your loving creator.

Grace in Progress: Prayers for the Beautifully Broken is a book about the journey we all share through life's ups and downs and God's constant pursuit of our hearts despite our bad choices. Each of us is "Grace in Progress" and prayer is how we daily encounter Jesus and embrace his legacy of grace.
