Messy Spirituality: God's Annoying Love for Imperfect People  
By: Mike Yaconelli

If you feel like you just suck at your spiritual life or Christianity in general then this book will be a breath of fresh air for you. Mike Yaconelli lays it down plain and simple that there is room for us to be screw ups within the Gospel of Christ. This book helped me to really ask myself if I truly experience freedom in Christ and allow real grace into my life.

Mike Yaconelli lived a somewhat radical and uncoventual life but he knew how to relate God's amazing love to the things we go through in this life. Messy Spirituality by no means says we are free to sin and live as we please but it assures us that when we do experience times when our faith is small God's grace and love can still reach us.

I say go ahead give this book a chance, it may surprise you.
