Becoming Myself

“Stasi Eldredge and I have a lot in common. For years I was paralyzed by fear and insecurity—trapped in my own prison. God led me on a journey of freedom that is enabling me to become who He created me to be. If you need true transformation from the inside out, I encourage you to read Becoming Myself. Learn to see yourself as God sees you!”

Betty Robison, author of Free to Be Me and co-host of “LIFE Today” Television

“Every daughter wants to make her father proud, yet there is no greater way for you to glorify our heavenly Father than by becoming who God created you to be. Becoming Myself is a masterfully woven tapestry of Scripture, vulnerability, and practical applications as Stasi invites you to be you!”

Lisa Bevere, speaker and author of Girls with Swords and Lioness Arising, Messenger International

“Reading Stasi Eldredge’s Becoming Myself is like spending time with a close friend who understands firsthand the inner battles women face and who wants more than anything to help us win those battles. The build-up of internalized negative messages planted deep into a woman’s soul through emotional and sexual abuse and life’s losses and disappointments produce paralyzing self-doubt and fear. Stasi offers hope that confronting these battles can be the making of us and may actually be how God equips us for the kingdom work He calls us to do.”

Carolyn Custis James, author of Half the Church

“Becoming Myself is a lavish book. Stasi is generous with her wisdom, humor, and her story, and the impact is a deeper thirst to live with that kind of lavish freedom. Stasi mines the scriptures and her own life to bring a weighty and enjoyable book—one that calls us deeper, deeper, into being ourselves because it pleases God’s heart. Reading this book is like sitting with Stasi as she tells the tales of all that has shaped and transformed her life. There’s a boatload of hope in this book—hope that I can be truly myself as Jesus sheds His love for me abroad in me. Get this book. It is a treasure.”

Jan Meyers Proett, counselor, speaker, and author of The Allure of Hope and Listening to Love

“It seems everywhere I’ve spoken over the past decade, a handful of people mistake me for Stasi Eldredge (because our first and last names are so similar). It’s become quite comical. Then when I saw her book title, Becoming Myself, I couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of it—a book about ‘becoming myself” written by the person I’m most often mistaken for! But the irony didn’t stop there. As I poured over these pages, I realized that Stasi and I really could be the same person—and my suspicion is that you’re going to say the same thing when you read this book! We all have the same voices of shame echoing in our brains, the same drive to strictly discipline ourselves, the same notion that someday we’ll succeed in doing better and get our act totally together. It’s so exhausting and self-defeating! But get ready to finally get comfortable in the skin God put you in, as Stasi reveals exactly how to get off that crazy-train! Becoming Myself is a stunningly beautiful reminder that we’re deeply loved, accepted, and celebrated by God—not someday, but right now!”

Shannon Ethridge, M.A., best-selling author of 20 books, including the Every Woman’s Battle series

“The thing about Stasi Eldredge’s writing is not just that she is wise, or real, or experienced. The thing is that she imbues all those truths with her warmth so that she feels like a friend urging us to step into our beautiful, image-bearing selves. Simultaneously she urges us to step up and step out of every crippling, counterfeit thing that keeps us from the only thing, the everything that is Christ.”

Ashley Cleveland, songwriter and musician, and author of Little Black Sheep

“Who am I becoming? Who do I want to become? Is there an honest woman out there who can help me on my journey? I answer, YES! Stasi Eldredge has written her becoming story, and I applaud Stasi for being honest, vulnerable, and just down-to-earth real in Becoming Myself. How refreshing for a Christian leader to pour hope into God’s women by being real! Let Stasi take you by the hand and gently lead you to God’s dream of you. Read this book! It is transformational!”

Linda Dillow, author of Calm My Anxious Heart and What’s It Like to Be Married to Me?

“Becoming Myself reads like a love letter to ourselves, written with the hand of Jesus gently curled around ours as we hold the pen. His guiding hand puts a whole new slant on the interpretation of both the pain and glory buried deep within our stories. If you’ve never suffered under the Goldilocks syndrome of feeling ‘too this’ or ‘not enough that,’ Stasi Eldredge will guide you along the path to ‘just right’ in Christ.”
