Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame by Heather Davis NelsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Will you dare to look at the places in your life that are tainted with shame and bring them into the light of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection for you? Avoiding shame will not make it go away, but often when we feel alone the freedom from shame can seem unachievable.
Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame is a helpful book that teaches one the differences between shame and guilt and where one can find freedom.
This is a very personable book. The author covers various topics where shame would appear: body, social, performance, marriage, parenting & the church. Each chapter contains real stories that we can relate to and then encourages us with biblical truths to help. There are discussion question after each chapter to help with reflection.
I recommend this book to all women, because at one point or another we all struggle with shame.
QUOTES:
“The best way to fight evil is to proclaim the kingdom of light through our words and actions.”
"Shame tends to resist accepting forgiveness. It wants to think it needs to be earned, or that it has never done quite enough, or that the mistakes or sin or imperfection are too pervasive for forgiveness; therefore, I’m not worthy."
“Fighting against shame moves you out of your lonely bunker of one into vibrant community.”
“Shame always steals joy and limits freedom. Shame binds us in chains that feel unbreakable to realities that seem unchangeable. Jesus frees you in the Spirit of the Lord.”
