A review by missjillellen
The Lord is My Courage by K.J. Ramsey
5.0
I am so grateful I took the plunge to start this book. I have had it on my shelf since it came out, knowing it was something I wanted to read but also feeling the acute pain of having gone through abuse of power within a spiritual context recently and not knowing if I had the capacity to spend time in the topic. However, I knew that KJ had first hand experience with this type of situation and could be trusted with the topic, so I gave it a chance.
This book was a grief process for me. It was beautifully written, far enough away from self help to not feel like platitudes, but also deeply and truly acknowledging how we can engage with our own healing from abuse situations. I found myself crying through the whole reading (unnatural for me) and feeling seen in a way I haven't experienced for quite some time.
It is so refreshing to also read from someone who has done the work of deconstruction but held on to their individual faith, as I have often felt so alone in that space.
KJ, thank you for your honesty and bravery.
