Publisher's Description
Discover the Unexpected Grace Found in Shame We are God's beloved children. Yet too often our imperfections lead to feelings of shame that leave us insecure and anxious, affecting how we view ourselves, each other, and God. Shame makes us feel that we are not good enough and can prevent us from receiving the love God wants to lavish on us. God wants more for us. We don't have to be perfect to be loved by God. In Christ he frees us to increasingly live unashamedly in a world that is quick to shame us. Are you ready to stop hiding from the pain, fears, and shame that have plagued your life? In Shame Redeemed you will explore the full complexity of shame in the Bible, shame's relationship to sin and guilt, the danger of shamelessness, the freedom to be unashamed of Jesus and his word, and spiritual practices to help God's liberating truth sink in. You'll find that Jesus runs toward you with all your faults and enables you to be unashamed without being shameless. As you meditate on how thoroughly Jesus' love and grace have broken shame's grip, you can learn to live in the freedom that is yours in Christ.

Biblical teaching meets spiritual formation in this deeply personal account of how God loves us deeply in our imperfections and vulnerabilities!”
