SIN BOLDLY BUZZ:
What people are saying …

___________________________________________________________________________

“Here’s an utterly original, unflinchingly honest, heart-expanding treatment of my favorite topic: the grace of God. I was so captivated that I missed church while reading it – and Cathleen’s lyrical insights refreshed my soul more than any sermon could have. I won’t be the same having read it.” – Lee Strobel, author, The Case for the Real Jesus

“Cathleen Falsani is an excellent writer and a wonderful storyteller.
Sin Boldly combines those two gifts in inspiring and entertaining stories that remind us grace is often as unexpected as it is undeserved. This is a book that should be read by anyone who knows
they need the grace of God. “
— Jim Wallis is president of Sojourners and author of The
Great Awakening

“What makes this book about grace so different and special is that it
reads like a novel. It gets the reader to FEEL grace, rather than just
getting a theological handle on it.” — Tony Campolo

“Throwing caution to the winds, journalist and self-described “free-lance Christian” Cathleen Falsani hoists a flag for Grace, impetuously jumping in where angels (and theologians) have feared to tread. Her enthusiasm flies off the page, but there’s wisdom, too, as she uses music, art and story to illustrate her understandings of Grace, that heavenly benison that resists verbal definition but brings faith to vivid life. Her vision of God at work is broad and bold, and I suspect he is smiling!”
— Luci Shaw, Writer in Residence at Regent College and author of The Crime of Living Cautiously & Breath for the Bones: Art Imagination& Faith

“Sin Boldly is full of hidden treasure and healthy pleasure. Simply
put, Cathleen Falsani writes with grace about grace.”
— Brian McLaren, author/activist

Cathleen Falsani reminds us of the immense potential of a life rooted and showered in grace — grace that is ever present in every place if we could just open our eyes and hearts. In fact, the very act of reading Sin Boldly is an experience of grace and you cannot ask that a book be anymore wonderful than that. Read this book because it will truly make a difference in your life. But be prepared to laugh and cry and dance and be ready to live more boldly and love more courageously.
— Rabbi Irwin Kula, author of Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life and president of The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership

Cathleen Falsani writes about religion and spirituality like nobody else: with a believer’s heart, a journalist’s eye and a humorist’s ready wit. In matters of belief, near-belief or disbelief, Falsani is not afraid to look at traditional things in a new way, and new things in a traditional way. Her words make her topics seem fresh and inviting, and means readers always come away from her writings with a
better understanding of God, of their fellow human beings and, of course, themselves.
— The Rev. James Martin, Jesuit priest and author of My Life with the Saints.

“Not often do I find a nonfiction book that delights me with Story the way Sin Boldly does. With humor, tenderness, and a storyteller’s attention to detail, Cathleen Falsani takes us on a ride to show us her world of grace – a grace found in the most unexpected places. Through her honesty and peculiar perspective, Cathleen Falsani made me laugh, cry, and gave me the space in which to believe again.”
— Stacy Barton, author of Surviving Nashville: Short Stories

In Sin Boldly Cathleen Falsani’s frank honesty and firecracker wit guide fellow spiritual seekers along her admittedly crooked Christian journey in search for signs of God’s grace. In this faithful field guide, fallen sinners like myself can found hope knowing that despite our ornery, obstinate and obnoxious attitudes, Grace will crash even our most pathetic pity parties.
— Becky Garrison, religious satirist
