Publisher's Summary

Being Lost is the First Step to Getting Found

As a marriage and family therapist, one of Nicole Zasowski’s greatest joys is helping her clients grow in emotional freedom. What she couldn’t see for many years is that she was living her own life outside of that freedom, clinging to behaviors like shame, performance, and control in order to feel valued and safe.

It was only when she was confronted with her own devastating pain and loss that Nicole realized her current way of life was failing her. She then discovered that sometimes God’s rescue looks like prying our fingers off what we think we want so that we can receive what we truly need. And often, on the far side of pain we don’t prefer, we find transformation we would not trade. In From Lost to Found, Nicole shares her story as she helps us name what we fear losing most, identify how our reactive behaviors are failing us, discover what joy we can find in letting go, and move forward in the freedom God has for us.

God is writing a story of redemption in your life, too. Find out for yourself that sometimes the greatest joy is found when we are drained of all misplaced hope and shallow identities. In the midst of pain or transition, discover a surprising path to healing as you lose your grip on comfort and control - and fall right into God’s transformative grace.

Includes discussion questions for individual reflection or small group study

Critic Reviews

"I have told women for years that Nicole is the kind of gal I am so grateful is leading our generation. She is wise and compassionate; plus she's honest, and her words are filled with hope. I have no doubt you'll feel led and loved well by God through her words, and I have no doubt this book will change your life in the best ways. Thank you, God, for Nicole, and thanks, God, for your truth! Give us ears to hear." (Jess Connolly, best-selling author of You Are the Girl for the Job)

"This book is what we are all looking for every day of our lives--a road map to freedom. So many of us find ourselves stuck in darkness, feeling around for a way out. Through Nicole's incredible story, study, and insight, she offers that way out, pointing us toward the greatest light and freedom there is - Jesus." (Jefferson Bethke, New York Times best-selling author of Jesus and Religion and To Hell with the Hustle)

"'As a marriage and family therapist and as a woman who has lived the words she writes, Nicole teaches from the trenches, daring us to reimagine what it really means to be blessed. Through biblical wisdom, vulnerable personal narrative, and psychological insights, she illuminates an unlikely path to healing, showing us that when we release the defenses we once trusted in order to feel valued and safe, we find ourselves open to God's transforming grace." (Jonathan Merritt, contributing writer for The Atlantic; author of Learning to Speak God from Scratch)

My favorite audiobook!

I have a lot of audiobooks in my library and this one is my favorite! I’m currently listening to this book for the third time! This is a great book to listen to while driving to and from work. Nicole’s words bring healing and hope to the places in your heart that need it most. You will learn a lot and will find yourself applying a lot of her wisdom to your own story. I highly recommend this audiobook!

good book

I really enjoyed this book. She had some very sensitive issues, she shared. a recommended read

For such a time as this...

Fits right in with the times we are living in! Hope-filled and applicable to my life at this time and times to come! Beautiful, encouraging, must read! Loved the whole story!

Read/Listen to this book/narrative at least 3x

I love testimonies because all of them tell the same story, different players and backdrops, of course, but a journey from pain, self, bondage, to freedom. Nicole's story will resonate with everyone...her writing style is beautiful. You'll be gripped from the beginning.
