Moving from shame to self-worth
Book Description
When shame weighs heavily on the heart, finding a path to genuine self-worth can feel impossible. Edward P. Wimberly offers a transformative approach that draws from the life and teachings of Jesus to guide readers through this essential journey of healing.
This thoughtful exploration unfolds in three distinct phases, each building upon the last to create a comprehensive framework for overcoming shame. Wimberly begins by examining how Jesus himself confronted the humiliation and shame present in his own experiences, providing readers with a powerful model for addressing these difficult emotions. Rather than avoiding or minimizing shame, this approach demonstrates how to engage with it constructively.
The second section delves into Jesus' responses when others attempted to burden him with shame, revealing practical strategies for deflecting and transforming these external attacks. Wimberly shows how readers can internalize these biblical narratives and apply them to their own circumstances, creating new patterns of response and resilience.
The final portion explores Jesus' parables as blueprints for living according to values that transcend shame-based thinking. These timeless stories offer concrete guidance for building a life foundation rooted in dignity and worth rather than fear and inadequacy.
Through this biblically grounded yet practical framework, readers discover how ancient wisdom can address contemporary struggles with self-esteem and personal value. Wimberly's approach provides both spiritual insight and actionable steps toward lasting transformation.
