Grace Alone Kindle Edition

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 42 ratings

Grace Williams isn’t looking for complications because, really, isn’t life complicated enough? She’s a single mom with four children. She has unresolved issues with her ex-husband. Her sister nags at her about going to church. Her kids are not perfect. And neither is Grace—she has hang-ups about organized religion, she is overwhelmed by suppressed guilt and grief, she is judgmental, and she can’t control her hair.
When a man shows up on her doorstep, Grace’s life is turned upside down. David is terrific with her kids, she loves his family, and her sister thinks he’s perfect. But he’s a little too pushy. And he wants her to change.
For anyone who’s ever made a mistake, Grace Alone is a story about forgiveness, hope, and grace in the midst of a messy life. Because God specializes in new beginnings.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ruth Meyer graduated from Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with a degree in church music and no plans whatsoever to become an author. But a student of the week project for her son inspired "Our Faith From A to Z," a children's picture book. After that, it was only a matter of time before she tried her hand at fiction. As both the daughter of and the wife of a pastor, Ruth has moved around a lot and had many experiences that provide ideas for her writing. Currently, she resides in rural Texas with her husband, their five children, two dogs, and a cat. It is her hope that through her writing, readers are assured of God's grace through His Son, Jesus.

Ruth’s website is ruthmeyerbooks.com, she blogs at TruthNotes.net, and you can find her on Facebook under Ruth E. Meyer and Twitter and Instagram under @ruthmeyerauthor.

I have read this book now several times both on my own and with my Book Club and the storyline continues to resonate with me. Grace Alone follows the family saga of a single mother as she is introduced to Christianity. The main character, Grace, feels like she could be anyone's sister,neighbor, or best friend. The characters are easy to relate to and I find myself cheering them on--or in some parts, vehemently disagreeing with their choices. I was especially impressed with this as a debut novel. Overall, the story uplifts and points to reader to the message of the Gospel by using the tool of realistic fiction. I am very glad that the Sola Series continues with additional novels!

I thought this book was SO GOOD that I want to encourage the author to write another fiction book. I can't believe that it doesn't have more reviews. By the way, I am a "straight", married, middle-aged man, so if I thought it was good, then I think the book will definitely appeal to others in other age/gender groups.

Funny parts, sad parts, many happy parts. Enough suspense to keep you interested, but not enough that it is too stressful for a nice relaxing read.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I've been reading heaver non-fiction lately, and it was nice to take a break! I thought that the characters in this book were more believable than they often are in faith-based books, particularly since they aren't all attending the same quaint Lutheran church as each other. I think that the way the characters are written and the way the story plays out, it's easy to see through this book that the Gospel is for everyone, and no sin is too big for Jesus to forgive. I hope Ruth Meyer writes another one!

This is the best book I’ve read in a very long while! Such amazing characters and I couldn’t put it down! As a mother of four I couldn’t stop laughing at some of the relatable stories involving the kids of the house.

This book was amazing. The description sounded a bit cheesy, but I'm so glad I decided to read it. I cried a ton. I couldn't sleep until I finished it. It's literally 3:30am right now. The twists, suspense, and moments of tension were masterful.

Enjoyed reading this over the weekend. I rarely read fiction, but this one was different, and I found it refreshing to have a book that is faith-based & fun to read. And, while fiction, truly brought out much truth about Grace.

It was a joy to read a book about real everyday people who love The Lord. They solved their problems with prayer. not always receiving what they thought they should have.

Looking forward to the authors next book.

In briefest terms, this is a non-smutty romance. In slightly longer terms, it is a story exploring both Christian and non-Christian families, the mistakes they make, the forgiveness they need, and the impact generations have on the next.

I appreciated, in some ways, that the book isn't a deep probe into single parenthood. This was a light, enjoyable read that portrayed an unbelieving family--four children and a single mother--as generally kind and functional. Some struggles are evident; I just wouldn't use this as an introduction to the actual life of single parenting.

Since this was written by a Lutheran, I wish the means of grace were offered more explicitly, specifically that the Word itself gives faith. Still I appreciate that there were attempts by people of faith to explain the hope they have and to encourage their unbelieving loved ones. It presented a believer's sincere interest in an unbeliever, which certainly happens, and delves a little into assumptions about self-righteous churches when there is so much grace and forgiveness at Christ-centered churches.

As a first novel, I think it is a promising foretaste of additional works to come. As a stand alone novel, let me tell you that you may do a double-take or two!

My final note is that some things were less than realistic and more than a little idealized, but I commend Ruth for trying to show just how important faith can be, even to older bachelors (and for that matter, for highlighting that not all older men are "confirmed" in their bachelorhood!).
