This is yet another book that I didn’t know I needed (wait, yes I did), by Lysa TerKeurst. This woman gets it. She doesn’t deny or sugarcoat her pain and struggles, which makes her stories and books so relatable. I often feel that I am alone in my struggles, feelings, and thoughts and then along comes a book like this to let me know there are others feeling just like me. Also, after each chapter in this book there was a reflection and prayer given- which was so nice because it really made you sit and think about what you just read.
Of course this book is about trusting again, and using our own discernment and wisdom. Each chapter goes into great detail about regaining trust in others and what we should be watching for to keep ourselves safe. I loved every chapter in this book, but Chapter Three on identifying red flags 🚩 really hit home, and I feel that Chapter Seven, “How Can I Trust God When the Person Who Hurt Me Got Away With It?� was written especially for me. I loved every word written in that chapter, and in this book.
I was lucky enough to receive a digital copy of this book through NetGalley, but this is one book that I do need a physical copy of because I needed to highlight many sentences and quotes. This is also a book that I would like to pick up from time to time just to reflect on when I am going through a difficult time, or might be getting triggered by a situation.
I would also like to add that there was a Bonus chapter included in this book, and it was definitely a bonus! Lysa TerKeurst gave us some personal news of her own, and some more spiritual prayers and reflections were included. I really enjoyed this chapter as well!
I highly recommend reading this book, especially if you are already a fan of TerKeurst. I think this may be her best book to date.
Many thanks to NetGalley, Nelson Books, and the author for a digital copy of this book which I had the pleasure to read. This book was published on October 8th, 2024- and is available now!
Genre~ self-help, nonfiction (adult), Christian
