Cindy Bailey believes that many women allow shame and embarrassment to cripple their walk with Christ. She has witnessed women who seem to feel that they aren't qualified or 'good enough' to use their God-given talents. No Shame refutes that premise and spotlights women in the New Testament who served the Lord boldly and effectively, confident of God's will. Despite the odds against them and their humble backgrounds, these women were not ashamed to repeat an unanswered prayer or rise to God's call. A great study with excellent documentation, this book is perfect for women's groups and adult Sunday school classes, as well as for personal reading and devotion. Cindy Bailey has taken a scary topic (shame) and made it possible for us to face it and conquer it in God's power. Her insightful comments and probing questions help us to evaluate where shame might be lurking in our minds and souls - and then empower us to grab hold of God's grace and mercy. I love the way she takes Biblical characters and applies their lives to struggles (like mine). This guide isn't just for the 'shamed' but for everyone.
