__For every woman who gives it everything she's got . . . and still feels shame when one little thing goes wrong.__   
From work to looks to parenting, today's modern woman is expected to strive to be picture perfect in every way. We applaud authenticity and imperfection in others, yet deep down most of us still want to achieve perfection. Why?  
  
The desire to be perfect is actually a God-given urge. After all, we were made for Eden. But there is a difference between perfection and perfectionism, which is our attempt to achieve perfection on our own, by our own strength, and for our own purposes--the original temptation in the Garden. In this freeing book, Hyland offers a stirring manifesto for acknowledging our limitations and embracing the perfection of God through his grace.

"Kim Hyland \[invites\] us to not only acknowledge our imperfections but also take them to a perfect Christ and be made whole again. An Imperfect Woman will woo you into the heart of a most loving Savior, and your life will never be the same."--__Emily T. Wierenga__, author of Atlas Girl and founder of The Lulu Tree
