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.

                         BOOK TRAILER                             

MY REVIEW:     This book was enlightening and refreshing.  It addresses what most people, Christian or non-Christian at some point in their lives have to battle with, shame.  It's a hard and lonely process and sometimes we just don't know how to handle or cope with it. 

I truly believe this book will help guide many people on how to recognize the signs of shame, and how to cope with it, how to understand it and most importantly how to heal and recover from it.  Shame can be traumatic, it can trigger intense anxiety, it can bring back horrible memories, and sometimes, and most times all we can do is break down and cry.  We feel so helpless on how to make it stop.

The author shares a very horrid experience in her own life and by her journey to healing and recovery from shame, she shares her revelations and experiences with her readers. She arms us with the tools we need to shake it off for good. It's not easy, it is a process, but with patience and determination, and most importantly prayer and trusting in our Lord, it can be done.  She also provides a reference guide and scripture to accompany the many aspects of shame.
