Jen Hatmaker – författare

New York Times bestselling author Jen Hatmaker believes that life can be fun, fulfilling, exciting, and beautiful. There''s just one thing getting in the way: people.

So many of our joys, struggles, thrills, and heartbreaks are connected to others, starting with ourselves and the people we came from. As we grow, our community does too. Before we know it, our lives are full of people: people we became friends with, married, birthed, live by, go to church with, don''t like, don''t understand, fear, and endlessly compare ourselves to. It''s easy to lose our love for ourselves and for others, but what if we let people off the hook instead? What if we let go of the need to criticize ourselves and our neighbors?

Jen shares the lessons she’s learned about how important it is to love people by teaching you how to:

In this raucous ride to freedom for modern women, Jen bares the refreshing wisdom, wry humor, no-nonsense faith, liberating insight, and fearless honesty that have made her beloved by women worldwide.

Join Jen as she reminds you how amazing you are, how shockingly gracious God is, and how free we are to love others well and live the beautiful, wholehearted lives we were created to live.

Life is messy for each of us. But Jen Hatmaker reminds us that it''s okay to admit that we''re all in the same boat. Join New York Times bestselling author and honorary big sister Jen as she shares hilarious tales, shameless honesty, and unconditional hope for the woman who''s forgotten her moxie.

We will endure discouragement, heartbreak, failure, and suffering. All of us. And more than once. But we are the very same folks who can experience triumph, perseverance, joy, and rebirth. More than once. And in more than one category. And in more than one season. And that? That''s moxie.

Moxie reaches for laughter, for courage, for the deep and important truth that women are capable of weathering the storm. We are not victims, we are not weak, we are not a sad, defeated group of sob sisters. Yes, life is hard, but we are incredibly resilient.

Of Mess and Moxie shines a light on Jen''s own triumphs and tragedies into a sigh of relief for all normal, fierce women everywhere. Whether it''s the time she drove to the wrong city for a fourth-grade field trip or the way she learned to truly forgive, she offers a reminder to those of us who sometimes hide in the car eating crackers that we do actually have the moxie to get back up and face our messes head-on. After all, this race is not a contest--there''s enough abundance to go around.

This book will give you the encouragement you need to remember that:

Come alongside Jen as she teaches us that we can all choose to live undaunted and in the moment, no matter what the moments hold, and we really can lead vibrant, courageous, grace-filled lives.

La popular escritora, blogger, y personalidad de televisión revela con humor y estilo de cómo la gracia de Jesús es la clave para lidiar con el mayor reto en la vida: la gente. La mayoría de nuestras alegrías, luchas, emociones y angustias vienen de relacionarse con la gente, comenzando primero con nosotros mismos y luego la gente que conocemos, al casarnos, al nacer, al vivir, en la iglesia, con la actitud de no me gusta, no entiendo, el miedo, las luchas, las comparaciones y las criticas. Las personas pueden ser lo mejor y lo peor de la vida.

Jen Hatmaker sabe esto muy bien, y por eso revela cómo practicar la bondad, la gracia, la veracidad, la visión y el amor a nosotros mismos y a los que nos rodean.

De esta manera, "Por el Amor" conduce a nuestra generación a re-imaginar la gracia de Jesús como una forma de vida, y lo hace de una manera divertida pero profunda que a los lectores cristianos les encantará.

In this book, I break it down into five self-reflective categories—who I am, what I need, what I want, what I believe, and how I connect—and by working your way through them, you will learn to

You with me, beloveds? If we do this work on our own selves now, not only will we discover a life truly worth living, but we will free our daughters to rise up behind us, with spines straight, heads up, and coated in our strength.
