In Too Much and Not Enough , author Karen Shock writes with a refreshingly brutal honesty about her experiences growing up under the influence of toxic theological systems that left her doubting her sanity, her identity, and her voice. Like many men and women who have been hurt by the Church they loved, or betrayed by the pastors they trusted, Karen’s story is filled with disappointment and grief. But, as she writes from her heart and makes room for healing, she discovers a deeper hope, and a surprising amount of grace waiting for her—and all of us—on the other side. This book is a poetic manifesto from the heart of a woman whose exceptional vulnerability and profound courage unleashes a flood of healing, hope and strength for anyone who finds themselves struggling with feelings of spiritual betrayal and disillusionment.
So good. Karen is so vulnerable and authentic in her writing. I identified so much with her, particularly in her reflections on anxiety, faith, and identity. Man. So good.
