I love this book! Through powerful Scriptures and profound personal stories we glimpse the personal life of the author and her close friendships. She eloquently reminds us how to love others with style and grace. Oftentimes we dont consider love as a powerful catalyst. This book challenges us to use this catalyst to fight battles, set boundaries, forgive those who have hurt us, and be a better friend in all our relationships. Love is a choice we make; an action word as Kerry teaches us. When we love like Jesus, through selflessness, we will wake up one day and be able to say we too have a beautiful life. Thank you, Kerry, for writing this book with excellence. Every person who is in relationships of any kind will be better for it.

Kerry Clarensau has done it again. This gifted leader has written yet another great book that is sure to inspire, encourage, and challenge every person who reads it! In a world tainted with ugliness, most of us long for more beauty in our lives. A Beautiful Life: Discovering the Freedom of Selfless Love takes us back to Gods original design for how life can, and should, be lived. Kerry uses relatable personal stories woven together with biblical truths to show us that beauty in life isnt something we acquire from having pretty things around us or having perfect circumstances. Instead, a truly beautiful life comes from having Gods love within us and pouring it out freely to those around us in the context of healthy, selfless relationships. Come to think of it, that last sentence describes my friend, Kerry, to a beautiful T. If you long for a life of lasting beauty and freedom that makes a difference to those around you, this book is for you!

Across this planet women are searching for role models and relationships that are genuine and life-giving. They are looking for women who have an unwavering passion and commitment to pursue their purpose and are willing to share their life journey to strengthen and encourage those around them. Kerry Clarensau is such a friend and role model to me. As a wife, mom, and leader (in ministry), she continually inspires and challenges me and thousands of others to rise up and be all God has called and created us to be. Through her girlfriend-next-door style, her personal stories, and her incredible ability to teach Gods Word, I promise she will captivate your attention. But, most importantly, the words in this book will motivate you to be more like Jesus and will compel you to love the people in your world just as He does!
