The Ugly House: Finding Home in God's Work of Salvation & Sanctification

What do we do when we keep doing what we don't want to do? With messages of holiness and righteousness filling many of our stereos and stages, it is easy to feel hopeless to attain the level of sainthood that is spoken of without falling into the trap of behavior modification, completely forgoing the beautiful work of heart transformation in the process. And yet, here we are. Putting new paint on old barns, praying that no one will notice. Battling through the weight of this disembodied experience, many choose, instead, to simply walk away. To give up on the idea of an "abundant life" with all of the joy and peace that Jesus promised. And that is why Vanessa, seeing the landscape full of the prodigals and the perfectionists, penned her newest book.

The Ugly House is a coming-home story.

A reminder of the beauty of God's great love for us that resulted in the greatest sacrifice ever made. Because God doesn't want to just visit with His sons and daughters - He wants to live with us and love every part of our brokenness back to life.
