REVIEWS

"In the midst of a veritable flood of books on the subject, this one stands out. It is a balanced blend of keen therapeutic insights, effective illustrations from counselees and a warm sharing of the author?s own personal story. I recommend it highly and intend to use it extensively."Dr. David A. Seamands, author of Healing for Damaged Emotions
"God's perfect love certainly can cast out fear, but I never trulyunderstood how God does that until learning more about being a shame-based person. Sandra Wilson has written an incredibly needed resource--especially for those of us from shame-based cultures--on how finally to experience exquisite freedom in Christ."Rev. Ken Fong, senior pastor, Evergreen Baptist Church, Los Angeles
