Shame is an ugly, devastating word and more than just a feeling, as it can break and/or destroy a person.
This is Christine Caine's story and much more (both in stories and in the message) - she has been there, she knows. And she offers hope for your way to healing.
This book will be interesting for modern readers thinking in the terms of feminism and women empowerment (but these overtones are not overbearing here in my opinion).
While I a bit miss more concrete step to healing (as I am a firm believer in the added value of a good, Christian counsellor/psychotherapist, for example), I understand that this is not a specialized psychology book, but a powerful testimony and message of hope. And I very much admire Ms Caine's love for the women in need of her message (aren't we all in the need of this message, honestly speaking? I am.).

For me, this entire book was overshadowed by chapter 7. I have been in a work environment very similar to that of Joanna and Christine and it was very hard to read that story. I can't imagine reading my former boss cavalierly saying she was so glad that I came to talk to her and expose her blind spots. When I read Christine's words, I didn't see her coming to grips with the pain she caused other people, and the fact that the Church has grossly mishandled bad leaders. I didn't see an admission of repentance for her misuse of her power. Not everyone will have my perspective, I know. But this is very, very personal for me and plenty of others.

Unashamed is a great book, one that I loved reading and find myself going back to. Christine Caine is a powerful speaker and author who loves God.
