520			_aAs good Christian moms, we're not supposed to ask for much. Jesus meets all our needs, and we're the light of the world to everybody else, right? Wrong. Shari Zook appeared to be an overachieving supermom who deftly supported her paster husband and their congregation, looked after their children, and cared for foster children through the ups and downs of placements. But inside, her world was growing increasingly desperate as she struggled with the grief of miscarriage, parenting a difficult child, and spiraling depression. In her darkest hour, Zook let go of her need to appear superhuman and reached out to receive God unfolding grace. In this book, Zook portrays with humor and artistry the need to sometimes step out from behind the appearance of rose-filtered perfection and embrace the authenticity of honest need and human limitations. You'll find twelve practical ways to reach for a faith that includes doubt, and holiness that includes failure.
