Each of us has had times when we felt mortified, experiencing shame about who we are. For some, a sense of shame is chronic. Others know this experience as an occasional acute attack of shame leaving them devastated. Few Christian writers have delved into this area of unspeakable need. For Kathryn Chamberlin, it has been a life calling to bring healing to shame sufferers, through counseling, teaching, seminars-and now, this book. It is a deeply generous outpouring of Katie's heart and insights into shame, and into the steps toward healing-toward gaining the supreme sense of God-given worth. I highly recommend this marvelous gift from Katie. It is your pathway to freedom. M.
