Book Review: Shame Off You by Denise Pass
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1
Shame is an assault on the core of who we are. It assassinates our character, minimizes our worth, and dashes our hope. Like Adam and Eve, we often hide shame, but hiding never heals it. Left unattended, shame can develop into a crippling reality that paralyzes us. Like an infectious disease, shame impacts everyone . . . but not all shame is bad.
Shame can either be an oppressive and powerful tool of worldly condemnation or a source of conviction that God uses to bring his people back to himself. Having the discernment to know the difference and recognize shame in its many forms can change the course of one’s life.
In a transparently honest style, Pass shares of her experience dealing with shame after learning that her former husband was a sexual offender. Having lived through the aftermath, she leads you into God’s Word where you will see for yourself that God is bigger than your pain, shame, mistakes, and limitations.
Shame Off You shares how freedom can be found in choosing to break the cycle of shame by learning from the past, developing healthy thinking patterns, silencing lies, and overcoming the traps of vanity and other people’s opinions.
I’ve watched women waste decades of what could have been a life full of abundance because of shame. Shame Off You is a book that’s been needed for quite some time. Denise Pass shares the different ways she’s experienced shame, as well as how to find healing. She is very transparent in her writing, and I believe any reader, no matter what their story, would relate to Denise and believe if she can move forward in healing, they can as well.
Each chapter has a recap as well as reflection questions and a devotional. I found those very helpful and essential for the healing journey. The themes include Shame’s Foundation, Shame’s Impact, and Overcoming Shame.
I think Shame Off You can be an incredibly useful tool God would use for readers in their quest to live free from condemnation. I definitely recommend!
