Description

“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.

I decided to read this book because I received a Kindle copy for free in exchange for my review. I didn't expect it to resonate with me as much as I did. Shame is so insidious; it nestles into the corners of my life and makes me feel like this is the new normal. I have to hide who I am because it is shameful. But what a lie this is! When God forgave me, He didn't do so grudgingly, with the intent to hold my wrongs over my head. So when I feel my past being held over my head, I can quickly recognize that it isn't God.

Shame comes from any sources, not just from within. Churches and family members are notorious for expecting perfection, while also knowing our deepest flaws. Unfortunately because so many people wrestle with shame, they don't know how to deal properly with it, so try to sweep things under a rug.

The author shares her story here, and while my story looks nothing like hers, I do know people with broken families or who are abuse victims. After reading this book, I feel equipped to both deal with my own shame and also to help my friends recognize and eradicate the shame form their own lives. God does not intend his people to live bowed down in shame.
