In a culture where people are fighting to keep up with the ever-increasing demands on their time and energy, Cultural Detox is a breath of fresh air.
The author defines the term “culture” as “societal and behavioral norms and assimilated values.” These are the “trends easily absorbed into our days, schedules, and lives. Ones that often leave us feeling chaotic.”
As we read, we are challenged to think outside the box and climb out from under the pressure placed on us as we try to adhere to these norms. One of the most direct and beneficial questions asked near the beginning of the book is, “Will I make choices that form me into who my culture thinks I’m supposed to be, or will I make choices that form me into who God created me to be?” Once we answer that question, we are ready to move into the why’s and how’s of living our lives culturally detoxed.
Cultural Detox is founded on biblical truths and written from the perspective of a dear friend who is sharing her life experiences and lessons learned with you over a cup of coffee. I encourage anyone burned out and worn out, or concerned you’re headed there, to order a copy today.

Cultural Detox is a delight to read— easy and conversational. Vanessa steps right into the role of a friend, sharing her story and her feelings of being made for something more. She then gently guides us to examine our habits and the cultural pulls that may be keeping us from living our best lives. Her prompts and suggestions are practical and easy to implement. I highly recommend!

This book is written so well. It feels very conversational- like having a very thoughtful conversation with a good friend who has been there too! It is easy to read but still so thought provoking. Several times while reading I would pause and re-read a phrase or passage several times because it really hit home for me. Really enjoyed this book and highly recommend.

This book is a beautiful blend of biblical and practical. Vanessa addresses real-world problems with ancient truths and practices that combat our culture's false values and empty promises with truth and grace. I recommend it to individuals and churches to read, study, and put into practice!

Great read. Vanessa keeps it real as she guides us to detox our lives of things interfering with our relationship with God
