Thank you to Nelson Books and to NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

I have read other books by Lysa Terkeurst before, and I thought that they were really good. I saw this book and I knew it was something that I wanted to request because of the subject matter.

This book is all about trust issues. Family, friends, spouses, God.. Lysa covers all of these relationships in this book. This book is really intense, so I put it down for a bit and then had to go back to it. Lysa has definitely been through a lot, and she shares it here in these pages.

I found this book really intense but very helpful. This is a book that I will most likely purchase a physical copy of, so I can go back and reference it.

This book was what I expected. I thought the primary focus would be on doubting God and wanting to/learning to trust Him, but it's not. It is focused on not trusting other people. The author has been very open about her relationship traumas as of late, and that seems to be the basis behind this book. Sadly, I found this book to feel somewhat disorganized and thrown together, which wasn't what I was expecting because I have read many other books by this author in the past. Some of the personal stories she shares didn't quite seem to fit into the context for the chapters. While I didn't find it to be what I'd anticipated, I do seem to be in the minority.

Luda does it again. Who knew this is what I needed. She did and always does. Just when I thought I was the lone wolf of struggling with trust and forgiveness.

Lisa always brings you in and allows you to see yourself in everyday living. The humanity of existing on this universe with others similar to you. The enormity of the small difference's that become barriers of understanding and compassion.

I give this book 5+ stars and recommend it for all to read. Even if you do or don't identify with a specific religion, this is a must read of WISDOM. Thank you net galley and Lisa for allowing me the honor of reading and reviewing this book!!!

Anything by Lisa Terkeurst is an absolute must read for me. Her writing style is one of my favorites because she makes everything relatable, and from personal experiences. You can connect with her from the very start of the beginning of the book. If you are someone who has had trust broken, and find it hard to trust again, specifically after infidelity... This one is for you. She holds your hand and guides you thru the feelings you've felt or still feel and helps gain perspective of how to work thru it and be able to work on trusting someone again.

Many Christians have trust issues. We find it hard to trust God, because people in our lives have proved to be untrustworthy. We may have been hurt by a family member, a spouse, or even the church. After a painful divorce, Lysa found herself in this situation. In this book she shares bits of her story along with sound, biblical advice about how to move on without remaining bitter or giving up hope.

Lysa does not gloss over the emotional trauma that can be part of this kind of experience. She admits and describes the fear, anger and isolation that she felt, as well as the things that helped her to heal. Topics include:

*Red flags and things that we should not ignore

*Distinguishing between acting with discernment or being triggered

*How to trust God when you don't understand

*How to heal when the person who hurt you got away with it

*The secret to really healing

And, of course, there is more. At the end of each chapter there is a recap of the important points and a prayer. The book ends with an update on Lysa's life; 10 Scriptural truths for remembering God's faithfulness, information on getting the help you may need, and some notes about abuse to consider. There is also an extensive list of other resources you may be interested in.

Wow! What a vulnerable and comforting book Lysa wrote, yet again! I didn't connect to every chapter - but the ones that I did made me process, think and grow. I loved that she included prompts to help you be honest with yourself and God so that healing can take place. If you've had a hard season of disconnect with friends, family or God this book can definitely help you!

I am a big fan of Lisa Terkeurst and this book lived up to the hype! I don’t always know what I need until it’s smack dab in my face. This was definitely what I needed! I don’t know why I’m constantly amazed at Gods perfect timing because it happens all the time, but I am! Thank you Lysa for being so ‘real’ and such an amazing vessel sharing Gods love for us!

Do you ever have a book that you feel was written just for you? This is that book. Once again, Lysa TerKeurst masters a challenging topic that hits home for so many of us. She addresses hurt and disappointment, while challenging the reader to put their full faith in God. A deeply wonderful challenge that all should read.

Lysa’s writing, as always, is captivating, guiding readers through challenging experiences. She possesses a unique ability to connect with her audience, offering a sense of companionship throughout the narrative. I wholeheartedly endorse this book; keep tissues handy – you'll understand why!

Thank you to NetGalley and Nelson Books for the advance copy. All opinions are my own.

This is the second book by Lysa TerKeurst I’ve read, and I am now firmly a believer and want to read her entire back catalog. “I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t” is perfect for those of us who have been let down and want to navigate the path to trusting others and ourselves again. Words of wisdom, sentences that hit like the best of affirmations, and real talk will guide you through a healing journey and leave you full of hope.

Lysa has a way of conveying extremely relatable advice through the word while not being too “preachy.” Her advice is sound and easily applicable (most of the time, if we aren’t fighting ourselves). Her writing makes you feel like you’re reading the cheat code from your big sister or best friend. If you haven’t read her work before, I recommend the first one I ever read – “The Best Yes: Making Wise Decisions in the Midst of Endless Demands.”

Thank you to #NetGalley for a review copy of #IWantToTrustYouButIDont. All feedback is my unbiased opinion, not paid, and simply for the love of books.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book. As always Lisa has a way of pulling you in and working you through some difficult things. She has a way of connecting with you like a good friend and just hold your hand on the journey. I highly recommend this book and have some Kleenex close by and I’m saying that in a great way.

When I say that I’ll read anything by Lysa Terkeurst I truly mean it, and I really don’t read much that’s not fiction. ❤️

This book was phenomenal. I found myself highlighting passages like crazy, taking notes and trying to soak it all in.

I think it’s safe to say that most of us have people in our lives that we feel we can’t trust. Maybe a conflict or trauma occurred with that person and now we don’t know if we’ll ever be able to trust them again. Perhaps we would love to be able to trust them again, but we just don’t know how. Lysa shares Godly advice, paired with personal experiences to help readers overcome their personal traumas and learn to trust again in a healthy relationship.

From Chapter 6: “Ultimately, trusting God is holding loosely the parts of my life I want to hold most tightly.”

I have read multiple books by Lysa and I would definitely recommend beginning with “Forgiving what you can’t forget” and then reading “I want to trust you but I don’t.” The two paired together complement each other so well! If you haven’t read anything by Lysa definitely do so! Even if you feel you don’t have any past traumas or heartache to work through. I didn’t think I would see so much of myself in “Forgiving what you can’t forget,” but I felt such deep emotions reading it. It definitely helped me overcome a lot of feelings from the past.

I rate this book as 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I received a copy of this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion.

This is a great book for those going through or otherwise healing from trauma. I could also see this book being useful for those who council or preach with congregational members going through struggles that the book covers. Like many of TerKeurst's books, the reader will feel seen and be given hope knowing that they are not alone.

I Want to Trust You, but I Don't: Moving Forward When You’re Skeptical of Others, Afraid of What God Will Allow, and Doubtful of Your Own Discernment by Lysa TerKeurst is a raw look at how to move forward when your trust has been broken. This book is incredibly vulnerable and it applies to trauma of all sorts. Ultimately, the author asserts that God is very trustworthy and He is the basis we can all rely on. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

Wow I love Lysa's vulnerability and her desire to equip everyone with the tools to recover from hurt without choosing to hurt others because of previous trauma/wounds. We are responsible for our own healing!! She lays out a map on how to repair broken relationships and when repair is not beneficial. Loved this audiobook. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

I have read MANY of Lysa's and very much enjoy her personal approach to very sensitive subjects that a lot of people go through but no one really wants to discuss. I love they way she writes, like she's speaking to you as a person.

I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t is a book that saw all of the rooms of anxiety and doubt in my heart. I requested this book because I enjoy Lysa’s work. But she is spot on here. She’s straight forward and raw in her writing. I needed to read it. And I’ll read it again.

This book is another step toward healing. It couldn’t have come at a better time.

I received this ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

WOW! Everyone needs this book, seriously!

What I thought this book was going to do? Guide me on how to find ways to trust God after a really hard season. What it did? All of that plus help me really understand where my trust was broken, why, how and how to repair it with God right by my side. My heart was so comforted through each page of the book and it felt like Lysa was talking right to me. I will be reading it again and would like to do this with a small group of ladies!

I was expecting this one to be more like her other books and be more of a devotional type read. It actually was more like a memoir. Not bad, but not what I had expected going into the book.
Her other books definitely felt like they got to the "point" but this one felt like it was base level and did not go into the depth it needed. It almost felt rushed into publishing to meet the due date instead of waiting until it was flushed out enough.

This book was written at just the right time for me. Lysa's insight and encouragement is "spot on". She writes with a caring heart for her Lord. Thank you for letting me read this book. It will give me a reference point when I'm feeling low.
