It was at her previous place of work at a children's home that Ashli Cobb met a young girl who was in the foster care system. The young lady expressed she felt like it was too late for her to "get right" and back on track because she had made so many bad choices. It was at that moment Ashli felt compelled to share with this young lady the terrible choices she had made growing up to let her know that Ashli didn't always have it all together as she appeared. The girl was shocked—but it gave her hope.
Are you a believer in Christ? Do you feel pressure from your parents, your peers, your friends at church, even from God Himself to always be perfect? Or are you a non-believer and you want to follow Christ but feel you make too many bad choices and would never measure up to the standard? Either way we all make mistakes and find it hard to find forgiveness—especially from ourselves.
In this book Author Ashli Cobb, a pastor's daughter, shares her painful journey to forgiveness and freedom in Christ as she suffered through her parents' divorce, sexual abuse at a very early age, depression, a suicide attempt and two failed marriages by the age of 24. But then God spoke. In this inspirational book you will learn how God rescued and redeemed the author's life and made her an ambassador for Him.
Whether you are an unbeliever of Christ or grew up knowing Him your whole life, there is a good chance you know that you have made many mistakes in your lifetime. For an unbeliever, you may feel "church folks" always act as though they have it made and are living the perfect way. And for those in the church, many of them are internally too ashamed to admit we sin regularly because we are afraid of receiving the harsh judgment the church is sadly known for.
Imperfect, but Chosen offers a beacon of hope for anyone who feels they have made too many mistakes to be able to fully walk into their purpose. This book is designed to declare to you that your imperfections make you a perfect candidate to be chosen by God.
