With personal stories from her own experience, and with spiritual support from biblical stories, Robin Gunn talks intimately as a woman among friends. As though in the confidence of good company, she shares her powerful interpretations of those experiences and those of several women of the Bible, to prove the valuable life lessons learned from those whom Robin calls "victims of grace".
Although the author's stories have a lot to teach every reader - regardless of gender, this is fundamentally a woman's book. That’s because only women are likely to approach it with openness and with empathy for the story teller and her biblical witnesses of grace and her insightful message.
Robin Jones Gunn reveals poignant truths from her life as well as from the lives of women in the Bible to create a reference book for when life doesn’t go well and you feel at the mercy of circumstances. For these times, she asks: what if God has dreams for you? What if he is accomplishing those dreams in the midst of shattered hopes?
Robin shows you her perspective on God, as the ‘Relentless Lover’, vigorously seeking after you and fulfilling the dreams of your heart even through not by a path you would seek to follow. In these times, life has not scored a victory over you, instead you need to realise that you are 'a victim of grace', with its mystical joy that this book helps you discover and enjoy.
