I cancelled my plans for the evening and went straight there. I was not allowed to go in to her, the doctor was with her, so I sat down to wait in a room where chairs and bits of furniture were stored."

Although America has never experienced a woman president, Nicolle Wallace , the author of Madam President , writes a good novel about how a woman president might react to the situations that happen in the White House. All presidents face stressful circumstances involving the nation and maybe their family.  It's definitely not an easy job. Little did I realize how often in a given day a president has to deal with the media. When the First daughter writes about Pro-choice on Facebook, Madam President has to deal with the media fallout.

After reading this book, "From Good To Grace" by Christine Hoover, I felt such relief. It turned me back to a merciful God. In this book, Christine Hoover, shares parts of her life. It's a time when she felt overwhelmed with striving to appear as a good person to friends, family and church. Finally, this hard way of life led her back to our Gracious Lord. The God who does not judge us by our deeds or by the Law. When she explored God's goodness, the author felt free and felt God's love wash over her. His love in her began to flow outward.

This is the Gospel of Joy. desiringgod.org/authors/christine-hoover bakerpublishinggroup.com/books/from-good-to-grace
