Uncovering the Root of All Shame

We're all infected with a spiritual disease. Its name is shame.

Whether we realize it or not, shame affects every aspect of our personal lives and vocational endeavors. It seeks to destroy our identity in Christ, replacing it with a damaged version of ourselves that results in unhealed pain and brokenness. But God is telling a different story for your life.

Psychiatrist Curt Thompson unpacks the soul of shame, revealing its ubiquitous nature and neurobiological roots. He also provides the theological and practical tools necessary to dismantle shame, based on years of researching its damaging effects and counseling people to overcome those wounds.

Thompson's expertise and compassion will help you

• Identify your own pains and struggles.
• Find freedom from lifelong negative messages that bind you.
• Embrace healing and wholeness.
• Discover and defeat shame's hidden agenda in your life.

Don't wait to begin your journey toward healing and renewal. Break free from the grip of shame and rewrite the story of your life as you learn to undo the damage shame has caused. Get your copy of The Soul of Shame today and start transforming your life from the inside out.
