Book Summary
Discovering the Power of Ugly will cost you your pride. You will learn to take off your religious masks and stand naked before God. Ugly will liberate you from a false spirituality which pretends that being spiritual means that you stop being a real, flawed human being. Ugly is a celebration of the beauty of God’s grace reflected through our weaknesses, not our strengths.
Jamie writes with the earthy humor of Larry the Cable Guy, mixed with the spirituality of Eugene Peterson, seasoned with the raw honesty of Anne Lamott.
The Power of Ugly combines a humor that will have you rolling on the floor and a theology that is serious and engaging. I highly recommend it, but only for the non-religious.

Jamie pulls back the veil on the ugliness of our lives and powerfully reminds us of the love of a beautiful God.
— Jeff Swearingen, Senior Pastor of Crosspoint Christian Church
The Power of Ugly cuts close to the bone … The strength and passion of Jamie’s message is a sledge-hammer that breaks through a musty, stifling cellar of lies we’ve all believed and lets in God’s fresh air.
— Costa Mitchell, National Director, Vineyard Churches South Africa
I absolutely loved reading his book, because it so represents who Jamie is: authentic, earthy, funny, insightful, and in love with Jesus. This is a must read.
— Dennis Gingerich, Founding Pastor of Cape Christian Fellowship
