Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely
Ratings8
Average rating3.9
The enemy wants us to feel rejected . . . left out, lonely, and less than. When we allow him to speak lies through our rejection, he pickpockets our purpose. Cripples our courage. Dismantles our dreams. And blinds us to the beauty of Christ's powerful love. In Uninvited, Lysa shares her own deeply personal experiences with rejection--from the incredibly painful childhood abandonment by her father to the perceived judgment of the perfectly toned woman one elliptical over. With biblical depth, gut-honest vulnerability, and refreshing wit, Lysa helps readers: Release the desire to fall apart or control the actions of others by embracing God-honoring ways to process their hurt. Know exactly what to pray for the next ten days to steady their soul and restore their confidence. Overcome the two core fears that feed our insecurities by understanding the secret of belonging. Stop feeling left out and start believing that "set apart" does not mean "set aside." End the cycle of perceived rejection by refusing to turn a small incident into a full blown issue.

This book was so good that I downloaded the audio version to listen to when I couldn't read it. Which was perfect because I ended up lending it out before I finished it. It's something that I think everyone can relate with and some of us more than others I'm sure. Lysa does it again by kicking me in the tush in the areas I need most–perhaps have needed most for much of my life. She has a lot of carefully scripted quoteable quotes that don't necessarily seem disingenuous but seem like they were written for the sole purpose of being quoted. I don't mind that, but it's the reason I gave it 4 well deserved stars.
