Shame is everywhere.Whether it's related to relationships, body image, work difficulties, or a secret sin, we all experience shame at some point in our lives. While shame can manifest itself in different ways-fear, regret, and anger-it ultimately points us to our most fundamental need as human beings: redemption.Shame never disappears in solitude, and Heather Davis Nelson invites us to not only be healed of our own shame but also be a part of healing for others. She shines the life-giving light of the gospel on the things that leave us feeling worthless and rejected, giving us courage us to walk out of shames shadows and offering hope for our bondage to brokenness. Through the gospel, we discover the only real and lasting antidote to shame: exchanging our shame for the righteousness of Christ alongside others on this same journey. Highlights how Christians can exchange their shame for joy in and through the gospel Offers hope for healing through Christ-centered community in the church Distinguishes between guilt and shame, and explains what the Bible says about each Includes discussion questions designed to be used in a small group setting Includes appendixes containing a self-evaluation tool for disordered eating, help for distinguishing between guilt and shame in a child, and other resources on finding healing from shame
