Arise, Beloved: How Ordinary Women Awaken to Extraordinary Lives

by C.C. EVANS PUGLISE

Do you feel discouraged by your thoughts of who you are? Have you found yourself, struggling and stuck inside a storyline in your head that tells you where you fail, where you fall short and miss the mark? Tells you who you can’t become, or worse, reminds you who you have been? Like you are on a limiting (and invisible) leash? Are you ready to be done with the old story? The truth is, we as women, have a tendency to suffer under the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, and who we worry, we can never be. We tend to compare and contrast ourselves against images and each other. Usually, feeling we are holding the shorter end of the stick. The stories we spin inside our mind have an enormous amount to do with how we breakdown in our emotions, or how we breakthrough in our lives. Of all the stories C.C. Evans-Puglise suffered under, this one stopped her in her tracks. After 40 years of age, while perched in front of a streamed movie on her sofa, kids piled up all around, this novel storyline emeged. After 5 labors, 17 different homes, losses and heartbreaks of every kind, a signature fear ‘What if I am average at everything I have ever done? Average in who I am, average in any way that is measurable, average in any way that counts? What if average is all I have ever been and all I will ever be?” Discounted yourself by saying how average you are? The solution to stale, limiting, and weary storylines in our heads, is changing them. Going into the stories we tell ourselves, and rewriting them because we have taken the noble road of firing good and proper questions at them. Raising our expectation for God’s goodness to reveal itself over our lives. Being willing to face our fears instead of fleeing from them.

Beautifully written wisdom and hope for living a life of wonder

This books feels like a field guide to an extraordinary life in simple yet profound ways. Cc Evans Puglise shares her therapeutic expertise and spiritual growth in personal and moving ways. It reads like a conversation with your wisest and most engaging friend. I would think anyone who has read or listened to and loved Brene Brown, Shauna Niquest, Anne Lamotte, Jen Hatmaker, Maya Angelou or Anne Voskamp will find this a rich read. I especially liked the practical and spiritual steps at the end of each chapter.
