I loved this book! My husband got it for me for Christmas…I
wondered why at the time…haha. But I am thankful he got it. The topic of the
book is one of those lessons I thought I had down and God showed me yet again I
need some more work. I am so glad God doesn’t give up on me. He keeps teaching
the same lessons so I can completely overcome my weaknesses. So much grace!
I have never read a Beth Moore book before, but I have
completed many of her Bible studies. This book was less polished than her other
teachings and that’s not a bad thing! She even admitted the book was messy. It
was as though we were sitting next to each other discussing our latest
spiritual trials. She is open and honest; her words stem from passion to see
women (including herself) set free from insecurity – of any type. I loved her
personal stories, rants and insight from present experiences. And all of it
reflected God’s desire for us to find security in HIM ALONE.
The book started by identifying symptoms of insecurity (the foolish
things it makes us do) and root causes of our insecurity. Beth used her own
testimony as well as snippets that others shared with her on her blog about how
destructive insecurity can be. She then leads the readers to an understanding
that God does provide freedom and healing from the roots of our insecurity. By
the end of the book, the reader should be able to notice her own insecurity
triggers, root causes and how to renew her mind according to God’s Word so that
insecurity no longer has a deathly grip on her life.
As for me, I am reminded of two things: 1) I am clothed with
strength & dignity (Prov. 31:25) and 2) my security comes from trusting God
to take care of me no matter what….even if life doesn’t go the way I want it.
These are empowering truths! So long insecurity!
