The Gift of Rejection

Harness Your Pain to Propel Your Purpose

De: Nona Jones

Narrado por: Nona Jones

Read by the author.

Greatness and mediocrity are separated by one thing--how you respond to rejection.

People who crumble beneath the weight of rejection never realize their full potential, but people who learn to use rejection as a catalyst experience fulfillment in their lives.

Nona Jones has experienced her fair share of rejection. Some of her earliest memories are of her mother's rejection, and those feelings persisted throughout her schooling, her career, and her infertility journey. Things that seemed to come easily to others seemed unavailable to Nona--but what could have taken her down the path of failure actually brought her to her greatest achievements.

The secret? Seeing rejection as the gift that it is.

The perfect follow-up to her previous book, Killing Comparison, The Gift of Rejection is a practical guide offering a new, unconventional framework for rejection; instead of being a pain to heal, it becomes a teacher to learn from. Nona shares insightful research, practical steps, and powerful stories from her own life as well as the lives of Bible characters and modern-day trailblazers to help you:

• Identify the root of rejection and how it's manifesting in your life
• Pinpoint when the pain of rejection is triggering you and counter it with truth
• Respond to rejection with resilience and resolve rather than fear and defeat
• Anchor your identity in who God is calling you to be

Rejection is a gift that can help you build resilience, character, and success. The Gift of Rejection will teach you how.

Honesty

This book told a wonderful honest story of how to courageously navigate through rejection personally and in the business world and come out better.

Must listen to!!!!

I absolutely loved this book, it really helped me in my journey to healing!!! If you suffered or are suffering from rejection this is the book to listen to!!! Thank you so much Nona Jones for your YES!!!!

Nona's personal experiences were relatable.

I appreciate Nona's vulnerability in sharing her story. Her story and focus questions were very useful in reflecting in my own journey to healing. Thank you Nova.

Helpful

It was not until I watched an interview with Nona Jones that it hit me, I too was struggling with rejection, which was the root of relationship issues I encountered. After diving into her other YT videos and this book, I have a better understanding of the concept and better equipped to navigate using the OPEN framework.

My one recommendation for audibooks is to slow down reciting the scriptures and questions.tendsse parts she tends to speed up to get the following points. Otherwise, the content and delivery are good.

Thanks for this tool. Thanks for sharing your story.

Powerful!

If you're feeling alone, vulnerable and lost. This is a must read! You're not alone, trust in god.

Awesome

I saw myself so much in this book. I will be purchasing the print copy. Thank you Ms. Jones for the courage to share your journey.

Amazing

I just started this book 📖 it's my own life story; I can't believe it. My abuser also could not read because of being kicked out of school in 3rd grade. I'm shocked 😳 it's all the same as my mother, and we also had the same attitude. God, WHEN YOU THINK IT'S ONLY YOU !!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!

The truth of the message

Outstanding read; encouraging inspiring and very insightful. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself which allowed me to see myself in many of the circumstances.

This Book is Gift!

I cannot tell you how many times Nona Jones “Gift of Rejection” sermon popped up on my YouTube algorithm. The sight of it made me cringe and had me thinking “oh no I don’t want to go there” until now God has me here in a time of rejection!

This book is such a treasure. Nona does such a wonderful job with her stories and insight. Her words are brief enough to not make you feel like you’re not picking at a wound but soothing enough to assess it!

Thank you Nona for sharing such deep and personal insight into your heart and leading us to look up instead of down at our seasons of rejection. Blessings!!

Chapter 10. Especially when you and I quote “Shame gains power when we deny our story. Thant hit me in the throat

The beginning was hard to hear, why? Because it is such a familiar story yet I tried to find comfort and being attentive to chapters and most importantly, the way you took your time to back up sentences with scriptures. So profound.

Thank you this means so much to me.
I love this book.
