Grace Sticks: The Bumper Sticker Gospel for Restless Souls

Even on a bumper sticker grace is irresistible. Grace Sticks: The Bumper Sticker Gospel for Restless Souls is light-hearted spiritual memoir and theological travel guidance for restless souls looking for more direction more truth and more life. Robb-Dover invites readers to reflect on how the bumper stickers they affix to their cars or entertain at traffic lights are themselves spiritual aspirations of sorts pointing to One who is the Way the Truth and the Life. In their meanderings with bumper stickers as pit stops readers will laugh cry be provoked and be inspired to look for God in the most seemingly frivolous and unlikely of places. Theyll discover in the process theres as much grace to be found in the journeying itself as in the destination. I imagine Kristina Robb-Dover as a kind of mechanic of the soul--reaching down into the depths of our souls to whisper not what we want to hear but what we need to hear. . . . Standing over the hood of our hearts with oil on her face and a used rag in her hand she tinkers. . . . So open your hood. --A.J. Swoboda Author Messy In Grace Sticks a timely and well-written read Kristina Robb-Dovers words speak home to my wanderlust soul. . . . Robb-Dovers description of a spiritually hungry culture and what church could truly be should we seek Christs vision for it gives words to my angst. I highly recommend Grace Sticks to church leaders and laypersons who wonder where God is today. --Emily T. Wierenga Author Mom in the Mirror For most of us the slogans of bumper stickers float banally on the surface of culture. But Kristina Robb-Dover has a sharper eye and a keener sense of discernment. She sees beneath the veneer of these popular epigrams a yearning for wisdom and a hungering after grace. Her book is a delight to read. --Thomas G.
