This book was definitely what I thought it was going to be. It was more a memoir than a (for lack of a better term) “Christian self-help” book. It took me forever to get through the first section. I enjoyed the book more during section 2 and 3 but it took some digging to find things I found useful.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

This book challenge my desire for comfort and encouraged me to step beyond my self. The author shared her own story and prompted me to question my self and desires. <B><I>"Am I willing to stand in faith, engaged in the brokenness that is shredding the world, and proclaim that God is still God, even when life doesn’t change and hurts refuse to heal?"</I> </B>

The author challenged me to learn to trust in God's promises even when it is hard. <B><I>"Practicing trust means that I have to confront my doubt that God’s promises are true—regardless of the circumstances, regardless of the lack of security I may feel."</I></B>

Erin directs us to compassion or the lack thereof, <B><I>"Learning the new habit of compassion disrupts the bent we all have toward serving our own preferences and taking the path of least resistance."</I></B>

She reminded me of the redemption I have in Christ and I can move beyond self. <B><I>"What a relief that God has redeemed us for more than self-centered living!"</I></B>

Erin wrote a vulnerable memoir that showed her own struggle with comfort with the wrong things, but is that she encouraged me to rely on the True Comfort.
