Product Description
In this powerful book, prominent Christian speaker and TV personality Tammy Maltby gets specific about the brokenness and pain in her own life and the lives of other "good Christian girls." This book is not a lurid expose, but an honest and courageous look at the secrets that often lurk behind a "victorious" Christian façade-secrets that range from feelings of inadequacy to sexual sins, shopping addictions, and thoughts of suicide. This book is also a passionate testimony to the Lord's eagerness to cleanse and heal those who turn to Him. And it is a fervent appeal to God's people to own up to the sin, brokenness, and shame in our midst and to extend to each other the same persistent, healing grace that Jesus extends to us.

I found this book a few years ago at a time when I was going through great struggles. Actually, I am always struggling. Honesty tends to get me in trouble. I am one of those people who will honestly answer the question "How are you?" but too few will listen. I love Tammy's heart and that she poured out what I have felt for so long. She's written exactly what I've tried to say but the words always came out wrong. I am ever thankful for her sharing her heart it helped open doors for me and helped me to courageously step out in faith to share my heart in bolder ways and not worry about the outcome. The love of Jesus is tenderly written on every page. Its awesome to know we are not alone and He really does understand and He has given Tammy the wisdom and power to convey His message. I am also thankful she is a willing vessel to share His love, His grace and His mercy. We serve an awesome God!

This is a powerful book every Christian woman should read. Sometimes we forget that it is not our works, or our perfection, that keeps us in relationship to God. It is His grace. This book is an awesome reminder of that grace, and what it can mean in our broken, incomplete lives.

it's refreshing that someone can be so honest about sins that we don't normally talk about. This book is real and very easy to relate to and nice to know that you're not the only one struggling with these things. As Christians, we want to put on a happy face and try to be Good. It's been very insightful and has blessed me in so many ways.

this book is truely a God send. Finally honestly addressed issues that many of us has struggled with, and beat ourselves up over, or even more, for years.
