Falling Forward: ...Into His Arms of Grace

By Sandi Patty

Book Overview

For every mother who has thought, "I just blew it with my kids," for every wife who thinks she just can't stand to pretend anymore, for every friend who thinks she's reached the end of her patience, for every headline you read about someone who has compromised?there's a story that started from birth and led to the chapter she is currently surviving.

Sandi Patty knows more than a little about such stories. At the height of a spectacular singing career, Sandi found herself in the middle of an affair, a divorce, and a fall from grace that couldn't possibly have been more public.

How could she have mde those choices? What are the warning signs that disaster is ahead? What are the steps needed to rebuff temptation? How do you recover from such a visible shame? Is there life after failure?

Sandi describes the red flags that indicate a crisis on the horizon as well as the path to recovery. She shares how she managed to move on, with God's grace and the help of friends and family . . . and she shows how you can see crossroads looming in your own life and find safe places to fall. From relearning joy to finding the right support group, Sandi helps us all to begin anew, embracing the power of God's redemptive grace.

Customer Reviews

God is so real

Book is excellent. Sandi related God's grace in ways that was very easy to understand and comforting to my heart. I initially borrowed the book from the library and found it to be one of those books that I want to keep in my personal library. So I ordered the book. In fact, it is one of those books that I will highlight thoughts that will be helpful to me and to others in the future.

An inspirational read!

This is one of the best books I've ever read. It is well written and uplifting. This is a book to keep handy and read again for inspiration.

have you read the book

Still Amazed--have you actually read the book? Just wondering. It is somewhat unethical of you to post a review on something you probably have not actually read. Who are you to say that Sandi is still at fault and not doing what God pleases her to do? The new Elijah or John the Baptist? Please read the book, and then post according to the actual book and not your own judgemental views on what you think happened in Sandi's life, or how God feels about her. Thank you.

Highly recommended

I love Sandi Patty and anything she puts out---music or books. This book was fantastic and I highly recommend it anybody who wants guidance. She has lived the stuff she shares and gives gentle guidance with God's grace. I loved it.

Tie-In that pulls us all together

This 2007 book is a tie-in to Sandi's sensational 2007 CD "Falling Forward". The main audience for this book appears to be women and, in particular, participants of "Women of Faith" seminars and concerts. But readers of every sex and walk of life can find material of interest. This is the third in what is now a trilogy of autobiographical books penned by Sandi after "Broken on the Back Row" (2005) and "Life in a Blender" (2006). This book is focused on discovering personal and professional spiritual restoration and renewal. The most moving section of the book may be her account of the healing that took place at the wedding of her first daughter, Anna, the subject of Sandi's "Cradle Song" and the song "All This Time". One of Sandi's best songs tells us, "Love pulls us all together, never apart." That Divine love and devotion will be sorely tested for all of us but, as Sandi wants to remind us, we have the opportunity to fall forward when we fall - right into the arms of Grace. Falling Forward
