Living Loved When You Feel Less than, Left Out, and Lonely

READ BY THE AUTHOR

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Do you ever feel left out, lonely, or less than? Learn the secret of belonging, which will help you keep rejections in perspective and be better equipped to foster healthy connections in your relationships.

New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst shares her own deeply personal experiences of rejection from the perceived judgment of the perfectly toned woman one elliptical over to the incredibly painful childhood abandonment by her father. She leans in to honestly examine the roots of rejection, as well as rejection's ability to poison relationships from the inside out, including our relationship with God. With biblical depth, gut-honest vulnerability, and refreshing wit, Lysa will help you:

• Stop feeling left out by believing that even when you are overlooked by others you are handpicked by God.
• Change your tendency to either fall apart or control the actions of others by embracing God-honoring ways to process your hurt.
• Know exactly what to pray for the next ten days to steady your soul and restore your confidence in the midst of rejection.
• Overcome the two core fears that feed your insecurities by understanding the secret of belonging.

Uninvited reminds us we are destined for a love that can never be diminished, tarnished, shaken, or taken—a love that does not reject, but instead accepts and invites.

Look for additional biblically based resources and devotionals from Lysa:

• Good Boundaries and Goodbyes
• Forgiving What You Can't Forget
• It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way
• You're Going to Make It
• Embraced

Truly touching. A great source for inspiration.

Thank you, Lysa. I feel like you wrote this book for me. Finding this was an answer to my prayer in a time of need. I listened to the whole audio book in a day and then ordered the book to have as a reminder and inspiration.

Solid Christian Advise

The author provides a wealth of anecdotes and life stories to support the times when she felt embarrassed, rejected, and lonely with recommendations on how to overcome these feelings with the knowledge that God is for you. I liked her "me too" attitude where she never pontificates without a life story to back it up. The only issue with the book is that the stories tend to go a bit long, meandering, so I found myself forgetting the point at times. Still, a solid read...

Love the book but the narrator reads way too fast.

What made the experience of listening to Uninvited the most enjoyable?

The story. Love listening to Lysa's books. Love her stories. Love the inspiration. The only problem with this book is the narrator. Feels like she is speeding through it. Her voice is good for audio books if she would slow down a tiny bit.... The other books of Lysa's I have listened too, she narrated herself. Liked them better. Basically, my issue is NOT with the book, but the speed at which it is read. (My audio is set to normal).

Great Message

I loved this book but had a hard time with the performance (reader). I admittedly am very sensitive to noises so there are a lot of books I cannot listen too because of the reader (I actually have a list of "bad readers"). The reader spoke way too fast and was extremely gaspy. I could not listen to the book in the car - I listened while I was getting ready in the mornings and somewhat distracted. If you are like me, push through as the content is worth the listen.

Loved this book.

I read the reviews just like I always do before I choose and Audible book. There were so many negative comments about the narrater that I almost didn’t get it. I’m so glad I did. I got so much out of listening to this book. I slowed the speed down to .9 and it was perfect. Don’t pass this one up ❤️.

Loved

Loved this book, it really makes you think about yourself and who you are and need to be. On rough days I good back and reread chapters.

A real Soul Searcher

at first it was difficult to get into the rhythm of the reader. Seemed as if she was reading way too fast with too many highs and lows of her voice. but eventually I caught on or she slow down, I'm not sure which! either way,I understood the author's message and truly enjoyed the book. I get a lot more out of a book listening to it than reading it myself and putting my own intonation into it.

candid

the author's candor throughout the book is incredibly refreshing and matched perfectly by the narrator's raw delivery. I will re-read this book multiple times as I believe it'll be useful throughout my life.

Great content. Not the biggest fan of the reader.

When an author writes a book, he or she is passionate about it. When another person is reading that book aloud, they don't have the same forethought, passion, personal experiences that the author does so in that way it suffered. On the flip side, I enjoyed much of the actual. content in the book and wished I had a hard copy to go along with the audio version.

1 of the best Christian authors of our generation!

Lysa' books just keep getting better, deeper, more practical. But what sets her apart is that she actually lives this stuff! The Lysa you meet in public is the same in smaller groups, with friends, family...wherever. Lately she has also shown the world what it means to suffer well for our Lord. Amazing daughter of the King!
