It’s funny how the author talks about her religious beliefs growing up because my dad was a pastor. Like the author, I was there every time the church doors opened. I questioned how you dad the pastor could speak such love and compassion, then come home and abuse his daughter. The author’s mother seemed to set the tone for the family and she was quite verbal in her dislike of things .
It was sad to read how the author’s parents were concerned about how they were perceived by others and expected their children to act a certain way. Oh how well I know the secrets that were hidden in our family so the church would never know the truth. The author’s family was certainly dysfunctional and as time went on that way of life would come to affect her adult life. Her relationships never lasted, her self esteem was at its lowest and she was spiraling out of control.
This part of the book is where I wanted to finally be able to breathe. I wanted our similar backgrounds to find a way to feel freedom. The only way to find that was through God. Yes at times I also thought God had abandoned me. Did he care that I was a shell of myself? The answer is simple. Yes He cares and the author gives us a look at the steps she took to get back her most important relationship. The author’s experiences with churches seems to be a common thing today. I also had several bad experiences at churches which I used to explain why I didn’t want to go anymore.
The book is encouraging and I enjoyed reading a story that was transparent, healing and guiding readers to God. Forgiveness is a hard subject for us but at some point forgiveness needs to happen. When we choose to forgive, we are set free from hurt. I appreciate how honest the author was with her struggles and I hope at some point I can purchase the workbook that goes with this book.
“No matter where you are or what situation you’re in, God doesn’t want anyone to remain in relationships that are harmful.”
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.… (mer)
