Christian Author Robin Theis writes a profound book in Surrendered Identity that speaks openly on her life and the rejection that permeated her life and family. She admits that it is not the best “written” book one will find, only a book to help those who have been affected by rejection – which stem from a broken heart. The good news is that Jesus was sent to heal the broken hearted as quoted in Luke 4:18, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed. . .”  Thus, basing her book on this scripture the author writes memoir of her life that was riddled with abuse, neglect and rejection; Her book offers hope to the broken-hearted, healing and intimacy with the Lord.  Throughout one will find teaching from the Bible by intertwining Scripture that give one the tools to understanding Biblical principles that apply to life, meanwhile offering ways to deal with rejection through the pursuit of a godly life and intimacy with the Lord.  
Robin Begins by candidly sharing her childhood, the author reveals the source of the original rejection. Finding herself rejected as a young child after the death of her father, the author and her siblings were sent to live in a children’s home as the mother remarried and began a new family with the stepfather. She shares the many childhood memories from the home to include research as far back as the 1800’s establishment of the home. 
Released in 1971, as a young woman rejection spilled into her adult life, her marriage and caused “many issues” during her young child rearing days. When her son committed suicide in 2009 this brought a desperate search for answers. She shares this and the healing she received in her heart and within memories the Lord reminded her of that were the cause of rejection. Thus, this book is written for those who have experienced a broken heart and are dealing with rejection (or for any other reason) and for those that may have lost a loved one from suicide.  Within this the author shares the healing power of the Holy Spirit as she was led from memory to memory – emerging healed.  Her sole purpose is to provide hope for the hopeless within this and bring freedom from rejection through intimacy with the Lord. 
Highly recommended for all that have experienced trauma and seem to be suffering from rejection.  Rejection has many branches – fear, anger, rebellion, depression and suicide all can stem from rejection.  If you or a loved one is dealing with any of these issues, this book is highly recommended as an outreach to give hope and guidance to seek the Lord.  I don’t think there is a person in this world who has not experienced rejection on some level.  This is such an important book; in some way or another it will touch your heart.

Robin Theis is a veteran on the topic of rejection. She spent several years of her childhood in a children's home. When she was released she married young and raised her children to love life and to appreciate the simplest of things (because many times she had little to give them). She found that the rejection caused many problems in her early years of child rearing and in her marriage. Losing her son to suicide brought about a search for some answers, what she found was the rejection in his marriage led him to take his life. She was forced to look at rejection in her own life and she learned how she could be set free from the stronghold of rejection and she shares how you can be set free too.

From Author Robin Theis ~ Surrendered Identity challenges you to look at rejection in a way that you might not have seen before. The amount of people who have been rejected is staggering. Like many of you reading this, you can probably think of a painful time that you were rejected. You might even feel the pain all over again just thinking about it. Rejection leaves damage inside a person. You can't see it on the outside but God sees it on the inside. Some of the evidence of rejection are: anger, rebelliousness, relationship problems, depression, thoughts of suicide, always wondering if the people in your circle rejects or accepts you, always rejecting people before they reject you, self-pity, can't take constructive criticism or correction very well, you feel like you don't fit in, the need to be loved, blaming God, insecure, self-rejection, self-condemning, self-hate, feeling worthless and even feeling that there is no hope. They are all from being rejected. I believe we should take a closer look at rejection and the broken heart and what God says about it.  
Psalm 147:3(nkjv)3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds..  
Being rejected has been the reason many have taken their lives. Rejection can destroy a person's life in such a way that few other things can. Loving someone that does not love you back is devastating and can break a heart and crush a spirit in the Bible it says who can bear it.  
Proverbs 18:14 (esv) A man's spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?  
What the Lord showed me was that people get their worth and value which is their identity from the wrong place and the wrong source. When we get our identity from a person and we get rejected by that person a broken heart and crushed spirit from the rejection can lead to attempted suicides and completed suicides. God says He loves you unconditionally, He says He will never leave you nor forsake you, He says you are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus, He says you are the head and not the tail, you are above and not beneath, you are the apple of His eye, you are His Beloved, you are His child, You are a Joint-Heir with His Son Jesus Christ. I heard recently that 5000 teens commit suicide each year, just one is too many. Many teens have tried to commit suicide because of rejection in relationships. You are probably thinking of one or more teens that you know committed suicide because of failed relationships right now. I believe when you get your identity from the right place and the right source it can stop suicides and help you cope when you are rejected.  
Many people have a broken heart and don't even know it. I had a broken heart as a young child taken from my home and placed in a children's home. The rejection from my childhood went into my marriage and wreaked havoc in my relationships. Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted. A doctor can not heal a broken heart. There is no pill that can heal a broken heart. Your heart may have been broken years ago but if the Lord hasn't healed it then chances are it is still broken...."Surrendered Identity" explains how to be set free from the stronghold of rejection... setting in motion healing of the broken heart.  
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;  
God wants to set you free....He sent His Son to heal our broken hearts.  Surrendered Identity will not be the best written book that you've ever read. But it is powerful. It is written out of my brokenness and from my heart as the Lord led me.   
Surrendered Identity is about rejection,forgiveness,healing,trust, identity,broken heart and suicide.

Surrendered Identity challenges you to look at rejection, your identity and suicide in a way that you might not have seen them before. When my son committed suicide in 2009 from being rejected in his marriage with the impending divorce, I searched for some answers. During a chain of events the Lord started answering my questions. The amount of people who are rejected is staggering. Like many of you reading this, you can probably think right off hand of a painful time that you were rejected. You might even feel the pain all over again just thinking about it. Rejection leaves damage inside a person. You can't see it on the outside but God sees it on the inside. Some of the evidence of rejection are: anger, rebelliousness, relationship problems, depression, thoughts of suicide, always wondering if the people in your circle rejects or accepts you, always rejecting people before they reject you, self-pity, can't take constructive criticism or correction very well, you feel like you don't fit in, the need to be loved, blaming God, insecure, self-¬rejection, self¬-condemning, self-¬hate, feeling worthless and even feeling that there is no hope.
They are all from being rejected. Statistics show that 1,000,000 people attempt suicide each year...so that would mean millions have attempted suicide. The same people wouldn't attempt suicide every year so it would be many millions have attempted suicide. I believe we should rethink why people commit suicide. Having a broken heart from rejection and committing suicide doesn't mean that person is mentally ill. Although people who are mentally ill do commit suicide. I believe we should take a closer look at rejection and the broken heart and what God says about it. Psalm 147:2-6 (nkjv) 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. 5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. 6 The Lord lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground. Psalm 147:3 (nkjv) He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds…There is a stigma with both committing suicide and mental illness and I believe there are many people who have tried to commit suicide because of being rejected in a relationship but will not talk about it because they are afraid that people will judge them as being mentally ill. When in fact they were rejected and had a broken heart, and are not mentally ill. Being rejected has been the reason many have taken their lives. Rejection can destroy a person's life in such a way that few other things can. Loving someone that does not love you back is devastating and can break a heart and crush a spirit in the Bible it says who can bear it Proverbs 18:14 (English standard version) A man's spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? Surrendered Identity puts three things together Rejection, your identity and suicide. What the Lord showed me was that people get their worth and value from the wrong place and the wrong source. When we get our identity from a person and we get rejected by that person a broken heart and crushed spirit from the rejection can lead to attempted suicides and completed suicides. God wants you and me to get our identity from Him by knowing who we are in Christ. I believe that if my son would have known who he was in Christ and got his worth and value from God he wouldn't have taken his life when he was rejected in his marriage. God says He loves you unconditionally, He says He will never leave you nor forsake you, He says you are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus, He says you are the head and not the tail, you are above and not beneath, you are the apple of His eye, you are His Beloved, you are His child, You are a joint-¬Heir with His Son Jesus Christ. I heard recently that 5000 teens commit suicide each year, just one is too many. Many teens have tried to commit suicide because of broken relationships. You are probably thinking of one or more right now. It is too late for my son but it's not too late for your sons and daughters. Help me stop as many as we can from committing suicide, tell your children and grandchildren the right place and the right source to get their identity from.
