Book about the very important topic - the secrets sins of girls. Like food - related issues (anorexia, bulimia...), substance abuse or sexual-related issues.
This is a Christian book.
I applaud the authoress for her honesty in sharing her own personal story. This makes her a relatable partner in this very much needed debate about the secrets (so often accompanied by shame) in which so many girls are silently suffering. Yes, they do need to know that they are not alone. That they are not bad. That there is hope and healing for them.
But while I recognize the warm approach, I wish to read more about God´s mercy.
I find important the topic of dealing with the "why" more, too - what is the "base" for the particular sin. Like the longing for love might be the (mispaced) base for sexual sins. I believe than recognizing the fallen nature of the sins might start the desire for the real thing.
I would recommed to accompany this book with several others when handing it to someone suffering. Namely the wonderful novel The Merciful Scar by Rebecca St. James, Nancy N. Rue dealing with the cutting.
