The Life We Never Expected Book Review and Giveaway - Ends 7/17

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I love the book "The Life We Never Expected" (keep reading to find out how to win your own copy).  I have a 14 year old son with an autism spectrum disorder. He's a funny, engaging and genuinely sweet young man. But 9 years ago when he was diagnosed, I had to deal with living a new sort of life. Just the title of the book resonated so deeply with me that I had to get a copy. I appreciate the way Andrew and Rachel Wilson provide comfort and hope for parents in the midst of their own struggles having a child with special needs. 

I also really appreciated and loved the end of the book when they talk a little about how to support a family with a special needs child. It is a good reminder that extended family and close friends also experience some grief and need some reassurance and hope.

There are different cycles in the book. And each one has something written by either Andrew or Rachel sharing a portion of the cycle. They see the cycle as: 
Weeping
Worshiping
Waiting
Witnessing
And Breathe

Each of the cycles resonated with something in my past or something I'm experiencing now. Whether you have a child with special needs, or are a family memer or friend of someone with special needs, this book is an amazing Christian look at living the life we never expected with joy and hope. 

ABOUT THE LIFE WE NEVER EXPECTED:
What do you do when hard or painful circumstances turn your world upside down, resulting in a life you never expected? Andrew and Rachel Wilson grappled with this question after both of their children were diagnosed with regressive autism. Refreshingly honest, this book explores the highs and lows of raising children with specials needs, reflecting on the broader question of how to cope with suffering of all kinds. Sharing personal stories from their lives and encouragement rooted in the truth of God’s Word, Andrew and Rachel highlight lessons they’ve learned related to fighting for joy and thriving in the midst of trials—ultimately pointing readers to Christ, the One who promises to make all things new.

Unashamed - Book Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Shame. It's a powerful emotion and response to our feelings of inadequacy. I've not really thought long and hard about it before now, but I'm realizing what a weapon shame is for satan to use against us. When I was presented the opportunity to review "Unashamed", I jumped at the chance. The book offers to shine the hope of the gospel onto our shame. Wow! That's a pretty hefty promise. And I'm pleased to say that Heather Davis Nelson delivers on her promise.

I'm not generally a person who is afflicted with a lot of shame...but the shame I have is deeply rooted into my life, my heart and my spirit. I'm still a work in progress, but this book has shown me how I have bought into the lies that cause me shame and I'm learning ways to rid myself of that shame and move forward in a more productive life. I was also fascinated by some of the ares of shame covered (body shame, social shame, shame in marriage) and the practical advise on how to help not only myself, but others in these areas. I don't have shame in all areas, but I know people who do. And learning how to love them and lift them out of their shame is as important to me as ridding myself of my shame.

I'm still re-reading and meditating on sections of the book. It can be read quickly, but I'd urge readers to take their time. Really meditate and find ways to help yourself shed shame and pick up the hope offered to us through Jesus.  

Information from the publisher: 

About the book:
Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame offers hope to those struggling under the burden of shame. This book shines the life-giving light of the gospel on the things that leave us feeling worthless and rejected, directing our attention to the God who promises to forgive and restore us—no matter what.

About the author:
Heather Davis Nelson (MA, Westminster Theological Seminary) is a writer, counselor, and speaker. Heather writes regularly at HeatherDavisNelson.com and has been a featured writer at the Gospel Coalition, as well as a contributing author to the Journal of Biblical Counseling.
