“ With her masterful unpacking of biblical truth and her engaging style of storytelling, Laurel reveals Jesus' answer to living life fully free and motivated by love. Radical Grace: Live Free and Unashamed makes the seemingly impossible possible."

Bob Goff

New York Times Bestselling author of Love Does, Everybody, Always, Dream Big, and Undistracted

"Laurel Appel's Radical Grace: Live Free and Unashamed is a must-read for our time. Appel writes compellingly about what we are missing in our contemporary understanding of grace, and she does so with both persistent compassion and an unflinching clarity. I wish I would have had this book in my hands decades ago, but I am ever grateful for the gift it is to me now."

"Laurel's Radical Grace is a breath of fresh air. Her stories and explanation of grace made me stop and think, read passages out loud to my husband, and discuss the topic with friends. It's a beautiful reminder of God's constant grace and love."

"This book far exceeded my expectations. I guess I expected a somewhat typical review of what Biblical grace is about -- nothing typical here. Laurel Appel writes with such clarity and vulnerability. She speaks with the voice of someone who's been on both sides and now, having stepped into the incredible freedom of radical grace, she invites the rest of us in. Wonderful!"
