Description

We all have insecurities—quirks that preoccupy our minds and convince us we aren’t good enough. We worry too much, argue too much, talk too much… or not enough. We fight who we are and beg God to make us different. But what if God gave us these quirks for a reason? What if who we are right now is exactly who God meant us to be? What if our weirdest, most annoying characteristics are actually . . . for a purpose?

 

In Why Your Weirdness Is Wonderful, author and certified life coach Laurie Wallin teaches us to stop fighting ourselves and to start following God. And the first step, she says, is to embrace our weirdness. In short, dynamic chapters, Wallin helps you move past obstacles by learning to see your “stumbling blocks” as strengths. She will show you how your weirdness enables you to love God uniquely and to love others more effectively. As you work to discover why your weirdness is wonderful, you will learn more about yourself and about God, and about how deeply he loves you--quirks and all.

“Laurie is an encourager of the heart. She knows what women need to hear and says it in a way that makes receiving her words a joy. Let her come alongside you through these pages and walk with you where Jesus wants you to go!”

ーHolley Gerth
Author of the best-selling book You’re Made for A God-Sized Dream

“Every woman needs a coach to spur her on when the daily marathon of caring for young children, feisty teens, or aging parents becomes more than she can handle. In Why Your Weirdness is Wonderful, author Laurie Wallin is that coach. She encourages readers to accept their strengths and weaknesses, discover the race God has for them to run, and then move forward step by step.”

ーJolene Philo
Author of Different Dream Parenting: A Practical Guide to Raising a Child with Special Needs (DifferentDream.com).

“If you've ever felt like you don't measure up, read this book! Laurie's writing style is conversational, yet kick-in-the-pants. She leads you to God's Word and His vision and makes you face it. I was brought to tears more than once by God's passion for us and His desire to see us healthy, joyful, and whole! With lots of instructions for how to take the "next step," you won't finish this book unchanged unless you choose not to act!”

ーJennifer A. Janes
Wife and mom; Homeschooling and Special Needs Blogger (jenniferajanes.com).

“Why Your Weirdness is Wonderful helped me to rethink my life, my purpose, who I have been, who I am, and who I can be. Life circumstances can affect us deeply, detour us, cause us to lose our way or simply forget who we are (especially as wives and mothers). This book is a great tool that can help you to find your way back to who God designed you to be. I highly recommend it!”

ーKarla Hoelscher
Church planter, and Certified Spanish Interpreter

“Like wearing clothing that belongs to someone else is how we must look when we don’t embrace the strengths and weaknesses God has given us. Laurie asks all the right questions as a great conversationalist and teacher―to guide us on the journey to relationship with God, as we discover our own personal treasures and realize: “The Lord will accomplish what concerns me” (Ps. 138:8)! Expect to be energized and excited as you begin to exhibit the wonderful ways God made you to be!”

ーCindi Ferrini

“If you ever wondered why you don't quite fit in [Why Your Weirdness is Wonderful] is for you. Laurie takes you on a journey that says don't change what God has masterfully crafted together. She illustrates that imperfection is brilliant so celebrate your weirdness! When you read this book you will get a new perspective of how uniquely beautiful each person is and how much people need what you have to give.”
