About
the book:
Learn
to recognize and process feelings of shame in a biblical way to
restore God-ordained self-worth and hope.
“There
is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
— Romans 8:1
Shame
is an assault on the core of who we are. It assassinates our
character, minimizes our worth, and dashes our hope. Like Adam and
Eve, we often hide shame, but hiding never heals it. Left unattended,
shame can develop into a crippling reality that paralyzes us. Like an
infectious disease, shame impacts everyone . . . but not all shame is
bad.
Shame
can either be an oppressive and powerful tool of worldly condemnation
or a source of conviction that God uses to bring His people back to
himself. Having the discernment to know the difference and recognize
shame in its many forms can change the course of one’s life.
In
a transparently honest style, Pass shares of her experience dealing
with shame after learning that her former husband was a sexual
offender. Having lived through the aftermath, she leads you into
God’s Word where you will see for yourself that God is bigger than
your pain, shame, mistakes, and limitations.
Shame
Off You shares
how freedom can be found in choosing to break the cycle of shame by
learning from the past, developing healthy thinking patterns,
silencing lies and overcoming the traps of vanity and other people's
opinions.

Review: I have read several books on this and similar topics this year as part of my focus on my word of the year, which is CONTENT--learning to be content with who I am, what I have, and all the circumstances of my life. However, this one has been the best read by far, resonating with me time and again, as well as giving me a lot of food for thought.
The author shares honestly about things in her own life that brought shame to her, as well as how God has taken that shame off her. She also shares Scripture which helped her to see that she was not meant to carry that shame.
Anyone who has ever carried shame about their past and wants to know how to overcome it should definitely pick up a copy of this book.
Rating: Four stars
