Amazing...Grace

There's Chick Lit and there's Chick Lit. Meaning some are just fluff and not worth reading while others are witty, funny, creative and yet manage to have real substance.

This book, Faking Grace, was definitely the latter. I loved the creativity of quick-witted writer, Tamara Leigh, who used a "Dumb Blonde's Guide To Christianity" book (a take-off on the Dummies book line) as part of the romance storyline. This enabled her to give a lot of information on Christianity, but without the preachiness.

Hilarious fun, an out-of-the-box approach, with lots of "Lucille Ball", zany moments. Leigh effectively delivered the message of finding faith and receiving grace in a non-preachy way while delivering a delightful, hard-to-put down storyline. It "delivers spiritual truths among chuckles" as one reviewer put it.

It was well-written with very realistic characters who were shown as imperfect Christians. Both non-Christians and Christians alike should find this novel enjoyable.
