Sharla Fritz offers a gracious gift in her new study, Measured by Grace, to all those who feel moored down by their mistakes and mess-ups. We are reminded over and over again through this study of God’s Word that our failures do not have the final say over our lives. God steps into our brokenness and redeems our stories. What a comfort to know that our lives are transformed by God’s grace. —Michelle Diercks, author of Promised Rest: Finding Peace in God’s Presence
Sharla’s writing in Measured by Grace is a prism. Through her thorough and varied perspectives, she highlights God’s love and grace in Scripture and through the stories of His people. I love the deep dive she does into our concept of success and her beautiful encouragement that we are measured by grace. —Christina Hergenrader, author of Inspired by the Holy Spirit: Four Habits for Faithful Living
In Measured by Grace: How God Defines Success, Sharla Fritz thoughtfully examines the biblical stories of eight far-from-perfect men and women. Like us, their lives overflowed with blunders, failures, struggles, and sin. But, remarkably, God stuck with them, nurtured them, forgave them, and even helped them to do His good work. What an encouraging reminder for us! This book, full of humor and history and wisdom, stands alone as a good read about success in God’s eyes. But Sharla’s addition of clear and succinct study questions also makes this a fabulous book to read and discuss in a group setting. —Afton Rorvik, author of Living Connected: An Introvert’s Guide to Friendship
