Impractical Grace

When Bishop Stuart North senses that several members of his ward are drowning in their trials, he gathers them to teach one life-changing principle: grace. A lawyer paralyzed by resentment toward his wife, a woman despising her failing marriage, and a young abuse survivor angry at God each learn that grace—being good to others beyond what they deserve, because God has been so good to us—is the key to forgiveness, healing, and joy. A tender, doctrine-rich novel about the transforming power of the Atonement.

• A novel that teaches the doctrine of grace the way Bishop North teaches it—through story, so the truths sink deep
• Three broken lives, one healing principle: perfect for readers who love fiction that changes how they see the Atonement
• Built-in discussion questions make this an ideal Relief Society or book-club pick
• Tackles real struggles—resentment, pornography, abuse, despair—with hope grounded in Christ

“Grace: To be good to another without regard for what they have earned or merited, but rather according to what is in the best interest of the other person.”

Perfect for a Latter-day Saint adult wrestling with a strained marriage, unresolved resentment, or questions about grace who wants doctrine taught through an emotionally engaging story.
