DALLAS, Oct. 9 /Christian Newswire/ -- Pam Davis was the seemingly perfect woman. She was gorgeous and godly. A former model with a renowned agency, Davis spent time on the mission field demonstrating her devotion to the gospel. Yet she was secretly miserable. In spite of all her hard work for the Kingdom, she felt hopelessly inadequate and far from God. Even her body wasn't good enough, as evidenced by her eating disorder. In her quest for spiritual and physical excellence, Davis had missed one vital detail--grace.

In Pure Gold: Embracing God's Grace (Authentic), Davis leads readers to discover how the priceless commodity of grace will transform every aspect of their lives. However, Davis believes that, for most of us, our fundamental misunderstanding of grace keeps us from the life-giving choice to pursue it. Although we realize that salvation is a gift that we could never earn, we continue to live each day as though God's spiritual blessings are dependent on our good works--and lots of them. This failure to seek the spiritual gold of God's grace results in spiritual bankruptcy evidenced by a lack of joy and peace, worry, feelings of being overwhelmed, and a lost passion for life.

"God testifies that He is a God of grace. To those who receive grace in Christ, God extends inexhaustible, unmerited benefits that give us joy, pleasure, goodwill, thanksgiving, and the essential benefit--spiritual life," Davis states. "This gift of grace is always available to us, but we often fail to stake our claim. For most of us, just trudging through life day to day blinds us from seeing our need for God's grace. So often, we choose eternal drudgery instead of eternal destiny--and we end up feeling lost, hopeless, useless, numb, and even obsolete."

Pure Gold communicates through Scripture and engaging masterful storytelling the nature of God's grace and how to receive it. Davis offers practical examples and tips that will allow readers to "pan for spiritual gold" in their own lives. The book also includes both discussion questions at the end of each chapter and a collection of Bible studies perfect for either group or individual use.

Davis is also the founder of the Girls 'n Grace line of books and character dolls that instill Christian values and communicate God's grace to girls ages 7-12.
