If rejection has sidelined you from having meaningful relationships and doing what you love, you will find practical help and healing in this book. She carefully examines the roots of our reactions to criticism, betrayal, rejection, and even simple disregard and provides ways to reframe those negative experiences so that we can find redirection, refinement, and restoration.

Incredible from start to finish

The author conveyed a concept in the secular, turning it around for our good in the biblical. There are so many principles and processes that existed first in the Bible that the world has taken and tried to make their own. The author brought to light Scripture that God’s word will not return unto Him void!
