Review: This book had my attention from the moment I read the title of the introduction, which is SHAME: WE ALL HAVE IT. I don't know that I'd ever seen it admitted so openly before, and it definitely made me want to read more.
The author makes it very clear that there is a difference between shame and guilt, and she explains the two fully. Then she goes on to discuss three different types of shame, how they can look, and how they can have an impact on all of our relationships. She concentrates on how shame can impact our marriages, our parenting, and our relationships at church.
The book is filled with Scripture references as well as references to how God's love can heal us if we are willing to let Him work in our lives. Each chapter ends with several questions which are wonderful for personal reflection, or even for a group study. I am going to suggest to my Bible study group that we look into reading this book together in the very near future. :)
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever felt shame in their life, and particularly to those who feel alone in their shame.
