Your yesterday does not define your tomorrow.

This book will set you free from the past, change the way you see yourself, and push you to pursue your future and all that God has for you. Each of us is born with a seed of greatness, but in many of us, it never grows to maturity because we don't realize our full potential. We continue to live day-to-day based on the failures, defeatist attitude, and purposelessness of the past rather than acknowledging that we were created for more.

Using insights gained from the Book of Genesis, Goodbye, Yesterday! teaches readers the 12 principles of faith they need to be set free from the past, change the way they see themselves, and move fully into all that God has for them to do and to be. It enables readers to renegotiate their future, redefine their destiny, reestablish their dominion in a world of chaos, and realize their full potential as God's representatives on the earth.

This book will help readers move beyond the self-defeating behaviors and mind-sets of the past and embrace the "awesome" person God designed them to be!

Reviews

[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book had a lot of helpful points, but she had a lot of logical fallacies and pseudoscience to back up her points, which I found detracting from her message.

I found this quote interesting:
In his book Thou Shall Prosper, Rabbi Daniel Lapin shares the significance of the Jewish Havdalah service that is recited on Saturday evening as the Sabbath wanes and families get ready to begin the new week. Havdalah commemorates the separation of the divine and the mundane and the Sabbath from the workweek, but also emphasizes the importance of remembering the holiness of the Sabbath during the other six days of the week.1
As Rabbi Lapin points out, Havdalah highlights the hands, asking for blessing on whatever work, assignment, or duty those hands are used to perform. Havdalah is recited over a cup into which wine is poured until it overflows into its saucer.
A prayer is spoken which asks God to increase the family's offspring and wealth.
According to Rabbi Lapin, first your own cup is filled. The overflow symbolizes having sufficient to motivate others. As Rabbi Lapin explains it:
This overflowing cup symbolizes the intention to produce during the week ahead not only sufficient to fill one's cup,
but also an excess that will allow overflow for the benefit of others. In other words, I am obliged to first full my cup and then continue pouring as it were, so that I will have sufficient to give away to others, thus helping to jump-start their own efforts. Judaism views attending to your own vineyard not as shameful, but as a moral obligation. (113-114)
—> I liked the dual emphasis on caring for myself but also producing enough in the week to also care for others. Imagine if everyone did that!

I found her explanation of economy and how we are not in a zero-sum game (on pages 115-118) interesting.

In general, it was better than I was expecting and she had some good points for setting our lives in the right direction. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it but if you happen to have a copy I’d say go ahead and read it.

A Bold Blueprint for Breaking Free from Limitation

Goodbye, Yesterday! by Dr. Cindy Trimm is a powerful spiritual guide for anyone ready to leave behind cycles of regret, stagnation, and self-doubt. Drawing from Scripture, leadership principles, and real-life transformation, Trimm activates twelve spiritual “laws” that empower readers to live boldly, with faith that breaks boundaries.

Each chapter is a call to action; whether it’s embracing the law of vision, the law of resilience, or the law of dominion. The book doesn’t just inspire; it equips. Trimm combines theological depth with practical application, challenging believers to stop surviving and start advancing in alignment with God’s plan for their lives.

This is not a passive read; it is a spiritual wake-up call. You will be convicted, encouraged, and empowered to take dominion over your thoughts, habits, and environment. Whether you’re facing fear, past failures, or limited thinking, this book provides clear biblical tools for transformation.

Final takeaway: A must-read for anyone ready to exchange defeatist mindsets for kingdom-minded victory. Say goodbye to yesterday, and hello to purpose, power, and progress.

I am glad I started this book at the beginning of the year! It is a helpful tool for re-calibrating your thoughts, actions, and drives toward God’s promises.

This book is not only packed with scripture but provides living examples, unveiling the testimony of those who applied the words.
