Publisher's summary

Shame controls far too many of us. Worthless, inferior, rejected, weak, humiliated, failure...it all adds up to wishing we could get away from others and hide. We know what shame feels like. The way out, however, is harder to find. Time doesn't help, neither does confession, because shame is just as often from what others do to you as it is from what you have done. But the Bible is about shame from start to finish, and, if we are willing, God's beautiful words break through.

Look at Jesus through the lens of shame, and see how the marginalized and worthless are his favorites and become his people. God cares for the shamed. Through Jesus you are covered, adopted, cleansed, and healed.

Shame Interrupted is a perfect book if you are feeling left out or marginalized because it will help you understand that all Christians are loved by God. You'll learn that through faith there is nothing to be ashamed about, and you should celebrate your differences.

Comprehensive Biblical approach

This is not a psychological perspective on shame. This is is a comprehensive Biblical approach to understanding our place in Christ and how he has honored us. In Christ, we are holy and worthy. We no longer need to walk in shame, no matter what.
This is an encouraging book that will help you leave shame behind.

In my top five best books ever!

what a great book! I am a biblical counselor and use it with almost everyone in some capacity. This is a must have for sure!!

Life Changing!

I have never heard shame and scripture explained so clearly with clear steps to take towards freedom and healing.

Amazing! Incredibly freeing

I didn't fully understand shame or it's various dimensions in the Christian life. And I had no idea how my life was impacted by unconscious shame I didn't even understand. I'm thankful to Mr Welch for rhis book and his other as well too.

true to scripture yet stays on topic

though starting out because of me, my issues with shame and guilt. this book does way more than expose, helping to locate scripture to find biblical instruction on dealing with shame. I will read again and am making an effort to follow the pertinent passages.

TRUTH IN A WORLD OF LIES

If you’ve been exploited, betrayed, assaulted, terrorized, have complex trauma and zero help from secular therapists who have led you further down the depression of lies that you “attracted this to yourself,” fire them!!!!! Get this book, a biblical truth and have your barriers in your Christian walk, your trauma and shame contorted relationship with God explained in love, truth and very practically nurtured. Only God can heal the depths of your soul from evil.

Best book on shame

This is the most excellent and complete book I’ve ever read on shame. It brings so much hope and clarity to the subject. I would recommend this book to anyone who struggles with feeling “less than”. If you want an even more in-depth coverage of identity in Christ, Ed Welch’s book When People are Big, and God is Small is excellent as well and expounds on the topics here.

Life-transforming

The best book I ever read on shame. The book took me on a life-changing journey. I’ll definitely read again from time to time.
