Item Description

Do you feel

  • that your problem is not what you do but who you are?
  • caught in patterns of destructive relationships?
  • that you never get enough affirmation?
  • afraid you'll pass bad patterns along to your children?
  • that God probably loves you less than others?
If these questions fit you, you may be experiencing shame. Often shame comes from being raised in a family that has an impaired ability to provide its members with healthy nurturing. As a result, you carry emotional scars into adult life, longing for happiness but feeling unworthy of it.Sandra Wilson knows much about "shame-based" families--both from personal experience and from her years as a family therapist. Drawing from this background, she teaches you biblical principles that have helped her and many others work through painful issues and learn new, healthier ways to live. In this revised edition, Wilson also includes help for parents who want to break the intergenerational cycle of shame and give their children a "grace-based" foundation for life.

5 stars Past Pain 2009-12-04

Reviewer: L. Olson

Great book, got a lot out of it during a class I needed it for. Wouldn't have chosen it otherwise. Glad I did!

3 stars Not a favorite 2009-04-25

Reviewer: FirefightersWife

Whild reading the first half of the book, I found myself literally having a hard time staying awake. I almost quit reading it because I just wasn't getting anything new. In the second half of the book, I did learn a few things. Overall, it didn't inspire me very much.

5 stars better than I expected... 2009-01-14

Reviewer: Susan Forehand

An excellent book! The author pulls from her own personal and professional experience to provide insight for healing past wounds of the heart. Her advice is based on sound, biblical knowledge and she gives scriptural foundation to promote healing. A MUST READ for any who truly want to grow towards the full potential God intends for us as Christians.
