She has a chapter on fashion types and she lays it out for you, in the truthful way a girlfriend would tell you something. Leggings as pants is a no-no she states, and I concur, and seeing as it's turning fall around me, every time I see leggings I can think of Jen. It's wonderful :)
She has chapters on just about anything that happens in our daily life, such as surviving school with kids (spending 400 million dollars and needing the next year to recover from back to school), on turning forty, I'm not there yet, but I can totally relate to what she is talking about (You're body wants yoga pants and your husband's stretched out T-shirts, and it will have them. p.12). She also helps you to remember that what you are doing is important (in chapters On Calling and Haitian Moms and Hope for Spicy Families).
If you need some encouragement and a good laugh, check out For the Love. I still just love the title, I know I say "for the love of...." so many times a day around here.
Book Description
The popular writer, blogger, and television personality reveals with humor and style how Jesus' extravagant grace is the key to dealing with life's biggest challenge: people.
The majority of our joys, struggles, thrills, and heartbreaks relate to people, beginning first with ourselves and then the people we came from, married, birthed, live by, live for, go to church with, don't like, don't understand, fear, struggle with, compare ourselves to, and judge. People are the best and worst thing about the human life.
Jen Hatmaker knows this all too well, and so she reveals how to practice kindness, grace, truthfulness, vision, and love to ourselves and those around us. By doing this, For the Love leads our generation to reimagine Jesus' grace as a way of life, and it does it in a funny yet profound manner that Christian readers will love. Along the way, Hatmaker shows readers how to reclaim their prophetic voices and become Good News again to a hurting, polarized world.
