What was much harder, as she discovered during a difficult season in her life, was the \"as yourself\" part. What did Jesus mean when he said to love others as yourself?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this heartening exploration of learning to love ourselves as God loves us, Vogel invites us to embrace God's deep and abiding love, with our whole being, just as we are, today and every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough spiritual practices, Biblical insights, and personal story, Vogel shows us how to move from striving for God's love to simply receiving it. With a gentle and wise voice, Caroline teaches us how to slow down, steady our minds, open our hearts, and tap into the life-giving flow of God's grace that is already within us - calling us out of our perfectionism, fear, or shame, calling us toward our own belovedness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on her own deep relationship with the Holy Spirit, Vogel reveals that when we are truly aligned with the Spirit and follow Her lead -- mind, heart, and body -- we are being infused by God's grace moment by moment. We are breathing the Spirit and the Spirit is breathing us. We are living embodied grace inside and out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you struggle to love yourself as God does, yearn to know God's love more deeply, and wonder what it's like to embody grace in your daily life, this book is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWelcome to the journey of coming home to yourself in God's love, as yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eAs Yourself\u003c\/em\u003e, readers will explore: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy receiving God's love is as important as giving it away.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow \"hustling\" for God's love is the opposite of living embodied grace.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow shame is often a barrier to loving ourselves and others.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow grace already lives inside us; we simply need to open to that truth.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBiblical stories that illuminate the theology of \"as yourself.\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA dozen spiritual practices to help you embody grace.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 8.51 x 5.62 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52042638885165,"sku":"9780835820783","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/as-yourself-the-sacred-work-of-embodying-grace-paperback-7499679.webp?v=1780171687","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/as-yourself-the-sacred-work-of-embodying-grace-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
