"Anita shares from the deep painful places of her life and her walk with God. Through the power of her stories, we are given an intimate glimpse into the inner working of overcoming depression and times of brokenness. Getting Through What You Can't Get Over should be required reading for every person battling depression and for those who love them."

Anita offers very specific steps you can take to climb out of despair and find the real and certain hope that exists. I highly recommend Getting Through What You Can’t Get Over with its strong Biblical principles that you can depend on, or give to a loved-one who is suffering, it will be a God-send.”

Anita’s willingness to address tough issues will touch the hearts of women all over the world. Far too often we hide, live in secrecy, and wear our shame. Anita gives practical and helpful tips on how to cope, come out of the darkness, and heal. Getting Through What You Can’t Get Over will inspire and encourage women. They will come away understanding they are not alone in their suffering and that freedom is possible.”

"Agers-Brooks dislikes people saying, “Let go and let God.” She says she desperately wanted to let go, “but how do you let go of things you can’t get over?” That’s a question many of us ask. We all face those terrible times when life just doesn’t work right.

She presents a broad area of personal issues, and each chapter closes with practical and spiritual insights to enable readers to move through their own heartaches.

I liked this book."

- Cecil Murphey, author or co-author of more than 130 books including 90 Minutes in Heaven with Don Piper and Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story.

This book was absolutely amazing. It will transform those who are suffering. However, you can't just read this book and not apply it. Each chapter is filled with a personal story filled with details that relate the reader to the depth of pain the character has endured. It is encouraging to know that such pains can be healed if we just allow God to transform our hearts and heal us.

Sometimes the only way beyond something is through it.

Anita’s extensive work in counseling with trauma victims provides unique wisdom in this area. As I read, I was impressed with her expertise in the field of psychology. No wonder this book has been so well received. I will say, some of the stories were too difficult for me to read but I gleaned the key application—just keep going. Don’t give up. Move forward. Get help.

Because this book addresses real issues and because the author knows her field, and because the chapters offer genuine inspiration, I believe this book will help many people. She includes God in the narrative—the best Counselor. I believe every reader will find nuggets for personal application, or the means to help others.

If you’re in a situation that seems impossible, or you’ve suffered trauma or love someone who has, I highly recommend this book. I believe highly sensitive people will benefit, but should proceed cautiously. Pick and choose the stories (chapters) that work for you. There are plenty of anecdotes to choose from.
