Under His Smile

There is so much we need to know about God. What is he like? Can we trust him? How can we know for sure? Unfortunately, it often feels too risky to let go of our commitment to our own plans and strategies in order to learn about God. Our need to perform feels more urgent than our need to know and trust God. So we work to improve, to impress and to succeed. But the way to genuine transformation begins by asking God to free us from the need to perform, and to open our eyes so we can see the One who earned for us the permanent smile of his Father.

"Sue Cortese takes an honest look at the modern Christian woman's struggle to be perfect, to make everyone happy. With powerful Scriptures and her keen insights, Sue helps women identify our attempts at self-improvement then points us to the glory of our Savior Jesus who alone makes us perfect before God. The study has had a transforming effect on my life and I have been privileged to see it impact the lives of other women with the hope that is ours in the Gospel.”
