Description
The women of Sensible Shoes face unexpected turns in their spiritual journeys in Barefoot, the third book of the Sensible Shoes series. Having been challenged to persevere in hope, can they now embrace the joy of complete surrender?
Mara: With two boys at home and a divorce on the way, can she let go of her resentment and bitterness and find a rhythm of grace in her "new normal"?Hannah: With Nathan by her side, can she let go of expectations—and even her reputation—as she charts a new course?
Charissa: As her approaching due date threatens to collide with new professional opportunities, can she let go of her need for control and embrace the unknown future with trust?
Meg: With disappointment over broken relationships and unfulfilled dreams, can she let go of her fear and worry in the face of even greater challenges that lie ahead?
Join the women of the Sensible Shoes Club in a poignant story that reveals the joy that comes from laying our lives at the feet of God and standing barefoot on holy ground.
Advance Praise
"Whether or not you've been a devoted reader of Sharon Garlough
Brown's Sensible Shoes series, you will find yourself in the lives of
the four women of Barefoot—in their gratitude and grief, their
longings and resilient hopes. Most importantly, you'll meet Jesus, who
startles us with this never-ending surprise: we are his beloved."
—Jen Pollock Michel, author of Teach Us to Want
"How grateful I am to be reunited with Hannah, Meg, Mara, and
Charissa, my friends in Sharon Garlough Brown's Sensible Shoes series. . . . Challenged by such things as church staff drama, child custody
battles, medical diagnoses, homelessness, abuse, career choices, and
prodigal children, each woman's hard inner soul work is what brings
redemption and depth to the story. Barefoot brings us gently to
the place where we know the only adequate response is to take off our
shoes and stand before God on holy ground."
—Lucinda Secrest McDowell, EncouragingWords.net, author of Dwelling Places
