Help for those struggling with legalism!

Revisado: 04-12-24

I really enjoyed this book! Although I didn’t grow up as conservative at Jinger, I could relate to a lot of what she was talking about. I have been struggling with “keeping rules” or “trying to be good” aka trying to keep some perfect form of obedience all my life. This has been a burden and destructive to my faith and relationship with God. I am still untangling false beliefs I have had from churches or Christian culture I grew up in. Thank you Jinger for writing this book! I can see it helping a lot of people come to a biblical understanding of what it means to be a Christian!

Important Message!

Revisado: 12-01-23

I really enjoyed this book. This book is so important for those who are practicing the law of attraction as well as those people in the church who are hearing the same message at church. so many people today are mixing Christianity with the New Age and the law of attraction. They don’t see the harm that they are in. I really appreciate how Jon shared the gospel message at the end of his book. Excellent.

Justine is a very good writer and audio performer of her book. She is very vulnerable and raw. I feel sorry for the pain she has endured due to her fame. This book is not what I thought it would be. It is much more heavy. I thought it would be a bit happier and give me some sort of guru insight into fame, but I did not get that. The language is a bit much for me. I do not like course language. This book reaffirms that it is better to not be famous and that fame should not be the summation of your self-worth. If it is then when you no longer have fame or less fame than your self-esteem with suffer. In fairness, I have no idea what it is like to be famous. I can only imagine. I use to be star-struck and desired to seek fame, but thank God I have found my value in Christ now.

Intriguing!

Revisado: 08-17-20

I am not quite finished with these lectures. I have 3 hours to go, but want to say I recommend this series. I tried to listen to as much as I could. I think I burned myself out. The story of language is fascinating and John McWhorter makes it so interesting and entertaining. He would make me laugh out of the blue and I really need to laugh more these days! I learned to much. I recommend this. Thank you John McWhorter! :)

Encouraged me to step out and speak up!

Revisado: 08-17-20

I really enjoyed this book and recommend it. I appreciate Dave Rubin. He is a really cool guy and appreciate how he is so nice and listens to people he doesn't fully agree with rather than shouting like (some people). He is very thoughtful and reasonable and it would be nice to meet him someday! Oh, after reading this I declared my voting intentions on Facebook which was liberating and freeing. However, I think I alienated family members.

I highly recommend this book.

Revisado: 08-16-20

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I am so glad that Doreen has become a born-again Christian. I remember coming across her angel videos before she was a Christian and that is how I even knew who she was. I have been a Christian since I was 5 years old, but recently realized that many of my beliefs are not based on God's Word as well as learning I needed to examine the teachings of the churches I have been involved with. Doreen's emphasis is on God's Word and has many scripture references for this book. I appreciate Doreen's testimony so much and think it is so powerful. I thank God for giving her courage to stand up for her beliefs even though she has been under such enormous pressure from the outside world. I highly recommend this book! This is a really good book and worth reading. I am glad that I made the purchase.

Not What I Thought It Would be.

Revisado: 08-16-20

Overall, I want to say she did a good job writing and narrating her book. She was funny at times. I was off put by the title and didn't really want to listen to this, but I did. I agree with a lot of what she said, but to me it was a little confusing and seemed to jump around with the topics. I guess I was expecting or would have liked a more fleshed out version of why I am not enough and a Biblical view of how to relate to myself and reassurance of God's love. Although, it may be true to say that I am not enough, saying or reading that sentence makes me feel really bad. I didn't really enjoy this book that much. But others may find it helpful.

Encouraging to those who grew up w legalism.

Revisado: 05-14-15

I can't believe how I missed the grace of God growing up in a Christian home! I needed more grace. I had it but did not know it...I lived so many years in fear of sin and fear / afraid of Gods anger. Thanks Joyce-

Soothing Voice

Revisado: 04-22-15

This was my introduction to Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I enjoyed her wisdom and story telling. Very intuitive. I was drawn to the title as I feel I too am a late bloomer. I will listen over and over. It may not be for everyone but it spoke to me.
