Product 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.

We use this book as a text book for an Overcomer's class. It is very helpful in digging into the depths of broken hearts.
Rating: - Released from Shame
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.

This book shows us how to change from shame to grace. Shame is the feeling not that I have DONE something wrong, but that I AM something wrong. Shame warps our lives and makes us unable to be good parents. The author tells us how to find grace instead -- and grace will change our lives! This book includes first-person stories that give it a ring of truth.
Rating: - Inspiring
Sandra Wilson does an excellent job in constantly referring you to pray for enlightenment and healing throughout the entire book. Her use of scriptures inspired me to put down the book and pick up the Bible...more validation that this book truly reveals a Christian approach/guidelines to healing past issues. While difficult facing the realistic pictures of your past, this book inspires you to pray for healing and to lean on God to help you through this time. Through many tears and much anger, ...

Rating: - Released From Shame...
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has grown up in a dysfunctional family (specifically abusive families), and is interested in learning about the psychology of their past experiences. It took a while to read, as there were many times of prayer, reflection, and tears. I would also highly recommend this book to you if your spouse grew up in a dysfunctional family. Sometimes it�s hard for us to talk about our past experiences, and this is a great way to hear, see, and feel the hidden emotions ... Read More
