Rhinestone Jesus

In high school, Kristen Welch wore a big, sparkly rhinestone â??Jesusâ?? pin to school every day and carried her Bible wherever she went. (Yes, she was that girl.) But she didnâ??t realize her faith, though sincere, was shallow; much like her artificial accessory, it would one day tarnish, no longer a true fit for who she was. As real life catapulted Kristen into places and situations sheâ??d never imagined, there came a day when she stood shocked in the slums of Africa and realized in one desperate moment that Jesus wasnâ??t enough for her. At least . . . she wasnâ??t living like He was. On the brink of a risk bigger than any sheâ??d ever taken, Kristen knew she didnâ??t stand a chanceâ??unless she was willing to put aside the rhinestones and get branded by the real thing. Rhinestone Jesus is the story of one womanâ??s journey from comfortably living a safe, â??good-girlâ?? faith that didnâ??t cost much, to realizing that God was daring her to say yes to a bolder, more authentic, more dangerous way. This story of spiritual adventure throws the doors wide open for any woman whoâ??s ever thought of herself as â??just a mom.â?? Kristen will inspire and empower you to say yes to God right where you areâ??and stand amazed at how your life will shine.
