“This short inspirational book is a quick, but spiritually-renewing read for anyone who secretly longs to feel loved and forgiven. Having gone through the journey of grace as an adult herself, Higgs softly leads readers through easy to understand explanations of scripture and prayer. If accepting grace...seems to be difficult or insurmountable, Higgs’ gentle guidance might be the helping hand to accepting the ultimate embrace from heaven."

"In her inimitable style, author and speaker Higgs wraps us in her hug, kissed with a smile, as she peels away guilt, hurt, fear, confusion, and more to reveal the Source of grace, healing, compassion, direction, and love.

"The books' easy-to-read format packs eight chapters with Scripture and anecdotal examples that define and depict grace. At the end of each chapter, the segment 'Before You Turn the Page' allows readers space and grace to ponder the message of that chapter before diving into the next. These short questions drive the message to the innermost heart while gently and tenderly exposing the Father's heart toward His children. Highly recommended for church libraries and appropriate for school libraries. Get this powerful book and tell women you have it."

"A heartfelt study of God's grace, written in a warm, conversational style by a woman who clearly grasps our deep need to shrug off the binding 'coat of guilt' and experience freedom in Christ. The author also incorporates pleas for help, hard-won insights, and glimpses of hope sent in by readers of her numerous fiction and nonfiction books. The content becomes a tender dialogue grappling with issues of doubt, faith, truth, sin, forgiveness, repentance, and grace. Beautifully accompanied with compelling photographs, the text's open design pulls the reader in, lending itself to devotional use. 
Thought-provoking questions aid readers in applying the book's messages. The author's writing style and vulnerability combine to create a volume sure to reach any woman, no matter her walk in life."

"Higgs, bestselling author of Bad Girls of the Bible, offers a sweet but substantial gift book about accepting God's grace and leaving the past behind. Higgs's personal history includes 'a lost decade of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll,' and though she doesn't focus on her past, she writes believably as someone who struggled with accepting grace herself. She walks through several stages of receiving grace--including doubting that grace could be possible, confronting sin, forgiving yourself and repenting. Readers will feel at ease with Higgs's down-home style that's never preachy. Higgs aims to provide 'a field guide, tracing a well-worn footpath from doubt to belief, pointing us away from shame and toward hope.' She succeeds, and readers who are looking for more insight from this former Bad Girl will be very thankful."

"Liz's main audience is women, and for good reason. She writes with the heart and soul of a woman who has experienced much, and in Embrace Grace, she speaks directly to you, the reader, as a friend, assuring you of God's grace and His unconditional love. This book is an easy read, but it is brimming with profundity. I highly recommend it for everyone, but especially for those who may have felt unforgiven, not good enough, or those with hidden secrets. Be blessed and embraced in God's grace."

"Best selling author, Liz Curtis Higgs, touches the heart with her latest Embrace Grace: Welcome to the Forgiven Life. Chapter by chapter she explores moving forward through embracing doubt, faith, truth, sin, forgiveness, repentance, and of course, embracing grace. Liz relates to the reader as if she has been a close friend for many years, a big sister, or even a wise older woman in one’s life. She persistently writes of concerns that she has had, and those which woman have shared with her through the years without exposing any identities. I found the points that I related to were numerous and I would expect others would find the same. It is so easy to connect to Liz as she shares without condemnation. Read this for warmth, understanding, healing of hurts, and to help shed that which may be holding you back. Most of all, read this to move forward in your walk..."
