“To relationally confront our shame requires that we risk feeling it on the way to its healing.” // You guys, THIS BOOK. A friend describes it perfectly as the most accessible book on shame right now from a Christian perspective. It’s powerful, moving, deeply impactful, and really well written. (i read it as part of my counseling journey, and strongly feel that anyone and everyone would be better for reading it, whether you are on your own counseling journey or not.) I heard Curt speak this weekend at a conference all about this book’s themes and I will be thinking about it and working through it for a WHILE. So, so good. If you’re a fan of Brene Brown and the like, you should grab this one ASAP— be prepared to do some deep soul work and find some real freedom as you do!
