Popsugar 2018 #16 - mental health. Personally I think this book would have made a great long form article. It took 80% of the book to finally read about the paradigm shift in her thinking. I was starting to get very frustrated with her inner dialogue, but maybe that was the point. We, the reader, needed to get frustrated with her to understand just how debilitating her way of interpreting Christianity had become for her. And it was debilitating. I have suffered,to a degree, with spiritual perfectionism and so I could relate to her struggles. I use to be so afraid that I wasn't doing all I could in order to receive God's grace. I could always be doing more, right? Brene Brown and her work became my Dr. Benton. Her work gave me the courage to sin bravely (boldly), trusting in the power of Love.
