I had to read this very slowly. To process. To reflect. To pray. To stew. It showed me parts of myself that I haven’t wanted to reveal in the light in a long time. And has equipped me with actionable and practical ways to invite God into this place. Scriptures to pray over, phrases to say in order to help retrain my mind, and places to literally write and reflect after each chapter. I’ll want to go back through the book again. For sure.
