Finding Grace: the path to acceptance: Discover your personal meaning of grace with this illustrated book for adults (The Grace Girls 1) Kindle Edition

by Kerrie Woodhouse (Author, Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars 13 ratings
Finding Grace is an illustrated book for adults that explores the meaning of grace and its power to help us find acceptance of what we do not have in our lives in order to begin to find the joy in what we do have. The book includes the creative process, grace quotes and reflections that were of great comfort while coping with bereavement.

The charming, whimsical illustrations and thoughtful words make this one of those inspirational books that you can't help but share. If you are in search of gift books for women, this uplifting book is unmissable.

This book is dedicated to my very dear friend who was bravely battling breast cancer at around the time I started drawing these whimsical little girls in my sketchbook. At such times, we take comfort wherever we can find it and somehow these big-eyed girls offered me just that.

They gave me the chance to escape the world, even for a short time. They seemed to understand, could be whatever I needed: a joyful celebration of life, an expression of sorrow, a calm, reflective companion.

What mattered is that they were always there, trusting me to find the strength to support my friend through a difficult time and helping me find the grace to let her go.

I count myself so lucky to have engaged in a creative process that took on a life of its own. Through the process of creating a quick daily drawing I found myself contemplating grace and what it means to me.

This book is the result of all that contemplation: a mix of my own thoughts, words of others that resonated with me and, of course, the big-eyed girls that kept me company.

Come with me on that journey.

This book details the origin of these girls, explaining the creative project that was their genesis. It also includes a free behind the scenes video, which shows the painting of a couple of the illustrations in this book.

While drawing these girls and spending time with my friend during her treatment for breast cancer I spent a lot of time contemplating grace. I have included quotations about grace that I found meaningful, along with my own thoughts about this most admirable quality.

It is my hope that you find as much inspiration and comfort from this collection of words and images as I did in putting them together.

"Explore the meaning of grace and where to find it in our daily lives through beautifully illustrated pages. I downloaded and read Kerrie Woodhouse's 'Finding Grace' the night my mother passed away. Exploring the meaning of grace and where to find it in our daily lives through the beautifully illustrated pages of the book brought great comfort to my soul. The connection between gratitude, humility and love is beautifully woven in the text, next to exquisite illustrations of what the author calls 'Grace Girls'. It is a delightful and very soothing read. This book deserves to grace as many homes and hearts as possible." -- Amazon Customer "This heartfelt book is beautifully illustrated, with a series of "big eyed girls" who provide the backdrop for the author's journey in writing this book and grieving her friend. While the art alone is worth downloading this book for, it also is designed to take you on a journey of exploring the concept of grace. The author, Kerrie Woodhouse, guides us in a contemplation of grace, how to develop it, and to use it in enriching our own lives. This is an inspirational, beautiful book and I highly recommend it as a gift for a friend or a gift for yourself. " -- Amazon Customer "Kerrie's beautiful and inspiring words are combined with the most gorgeous artwork. If you have the Kindle edition, be sure to zoom in on the wonderful small details of the Grace Girls. I really enjoyed this and will treasure it for years to come. " -- Amazon Customer "A lovely tribute to a treasured friend! "Finding Grace" contains gorgeous artwork and thoughtful messages. A beautiful gift to purchase for a friend. " -- Amazon Customer "A beautiful, inspiring and thought provoking picture book filled with lovely illustrations and quotes on what Grace is, and how Grace can be incorporated into your attitude and daily life. In a world where we are constantly bombarded with negative information and images this is a beautiful reminder that we have a choice to respond to what life throws at us - do it with Grace! " -- Amazon Customer "This book has a simple message for the reader and it delivers it beautifully. The words are a balance of quotes on the topic of grace and the authors own observations. And most importantly the illustrations are drawn with great care and really evoke emotion. The balance between the words and images are handled so well I read it right through in one sitting. " -- Amazon Customer "Looking into the eyes of those beautiful little faces gave me a sense of calm and peace. I felt so positive and uplifted after reading. Thank you Kerrie for sharing this beautiful book x. " -- Amazon Customer "Just wonderful! A really lovely reminder that we live in a beautiful world and, for our own good, need to stop and appreciate it more often than we do. Gorgeous illustrations accompanied by really well chosen quotations that make you stop and think. Loved it! " -- Amazon Customer "Inspiring and beautifully illustrated. Highly recommend. " -- Amazon Customer

    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017

    I've had this book in my library for a while and am finally getting to it. I initially bought it because I was drawn to the adorable tiny girl on the cover. She is so sweet, and now I find she is very special, as well. The book is chock-full of wise words and quotations about grace to set you thinking. The book won't give you the answer to how to find grace in your life or anything like that. What it will do is provide seeds for thought to grow. For your mind and soul to follow it's own path to its own unique answer to just what is grace. The Grace Girls are lovely additions to the quotations and text. I find it hard to say which is primary, the text of the book or the girls. I'm looking forward to book #2 in this series.

    I got this book in ebook format from Amazon. This is an honest review and I am not being compensated in any way. All opinions are fully my own. ~ Judi E. Easley for Blue Cat Review
