Book Description
I spent the majority of my life in a dark cloud of shame""shame of my own making and shame bestowed upon me by others. Shame that arose from the physical, mental, and sexual abuse I experienced. After exhausting all known outlets to try and rid myself of the shame, I was down to my last option. And I took it. And it worked. The final step in the process is to not be ashamed of my shame. To do so, I have to let the shame out and expose it to the light. That is why I am sharing the story of my shame and how I gave it back.

Book Description
Body shaming. Marriage shaming. Single shaming. Mom shaming. Lifestyle shaming. Religious shaming. It seems no matter which direction we turn, women can’t shake the shame that is constantly piled on top of us. Author and podcaster Jasmine L. Holmes knows this struggle all too well. Though shame has been a constant companion (and even a snare) throughout her life, God has broken the chains of shame in Jasmine’s life through the power of the gospel. In this Christ-centered, empowering book, prepare to discover: The story of shame: where it comes from, what it is, what makes it different from guilt or conviction, and why it’s so pervasive. The problem with shame: why the typical methods of throwing off shame don’t actually work. The end of shame: how Jesus puts an end to shame by offering a better covering, a better image, and a better message than the world can. The way to fight shame: how to use practical and powerful ways to fight shame in daily life, breaking its chains in the power of the gospel and resting in the One who has taken all your shame away for good. The story of shame is a powerful one. But even stronger are the arms of the One who carried your shame and will never cast you out. Are you ready to experience Him and finally be free?

Book Description
A “startlingly original” novel of “recursive loops through the mind of a woman who is breaking down from not making the art she absolutely must make” (Alexander Chee, Paris Review). Alma and her family live close to the land, raising chickens and sheep. While her husband works at a nearby college, she stays home with their young children, cleans, searches for secondhand goods online, and reads books by the women writers she adores. Then, one night, she abruptly leaves it all behind—speeding through the darkness, away from their Vermont homestead, bound for New York. In a series of flashbacks, Alma reveals the circumstances and choices that led to this moment: the joys and claustrophobia of their remote life; her fears and uncertainties about motherhood; the painfully awkward faculty dinners; her feelings of loneliness and failure; and her growing fascination with Celeste, a mysterious ceramicist and self-loving doppelgänger who becomes an obsession for Alma. A fable both blistering and surreal, The Shame is a propulsive, funny, and thought-provoking debut about a woman in isolation, whose mind—fueled by capitalism, motherhood, and the search for meaningful art—attempts to betray her.

Book Description
"Shame silences our stories, crushes our spirits, and cuts us off from our hearts. How can we give voice to what has happened? Might we fall apart into suffering that would heal us? Could we honour desires we've disowned for a lifetime? How do we gather up our battered parts of self with tenderness? Could grief and love restore our hearts to us? Having written groundbreaking theory about the developmental genesis of chronic shame and its treatment in relational psychotherapy, Patricia DeYoung returns to speak from her heart about what it's like to inhabit a life of shame. In six essays, she writes of the essential impasses of chronic shame: silence, dissociation, isolation, the abolition of desire, the imposition of right and wrong, and ending life without meaning. Each impasse deserves a story. DeYoung's stories of an ordinary life start with getting born and end with getting old. They open up crucial questions: Does the shame we suffer mean we're as worthless as we feel, marking miles on a hard road to despair? Or does the longing beneath our shame mean we may hope for true connection and a chance at grace? Her essays privilege our longing and the difficult but powerful grace of being real and being-with. In this book, shame theory meets memoir and meditation. Therapists, patients, and self-reflective readers from many walks of life will be moved and changed by time spent with this master clinician, thoughtful mentor, and fellow traveler"--

Book Description
Shame is what the woman with the issue of blood felt because of her condition. It's what Hannah endured as she cried to God for a baby. Shaming is what the Pharisees did to the woman who was caught in adultery. Shame is the first reaction Adam and Eve had when they realized they sinned. Shame is the haunting spirit that constantly reminds you of your failures, sins, and shortcomings. It's the spirit that causes you to hide, hold secrets for years, and live with the pain of regret. The voice of shame is a gentle whisper that you're not good enough. It's the spirit you see gently fall on a person's face when you know they're disappointed in you. It's the uneasy feelings you get when you scroll past a person's perfect body on Instagram, wishing you could look like that. Captured in these pages is the story of how I finally silenced the voice of shame, and now live a purpose filled life. When shame calls, I allow my father in heaven to answer the phone, and I want to empower you to do the same! Join me as we learn how to identify shame, reveal the agenda of shame, and remain free from shame forever! Stop the voices in your head that scream you're not enough!

Book Description
Shame has been called the most unendurable of sentiments. Shame hurts so much that we do everything we can to stop the pain and to keep other people from realizing that we have it. The cover-ups we use end up hurting other people and can be the root cause of marital breakups, workplace conflicts, racial tensions, and church splits. In contrast to guilt, which can lead to repentance and reconciliation, shame leads to isolation and continuing problems. Everyone feels shame from time to time, but some people live with it constantly. Whether you yourself have felt the pain of shame or whether you would like to reach out to someone who does, you need to find out how to recognize shame and how to apply the solution that God has provided in Christ. Lift Up Your Head can help you discover what may be happening behind the masks. At the end of each chapter are questions for reflection to help you digest what you have read. The questions can also be used for small-group discussion. “Carolyn Kerr’s book, Lift Up Your Head: Joy in the Face of Shame is outstanding! It deals with an important and difficult topic which is too often neglected both in the church and in the secular world. Kerr points out how debilitating yet how common shame is. This is an essential work for pastors, therapists, counselors and anyone who has ever been made to feel ashamed.” —Rev. Dr. Paul Leggett Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church, Montrose, New Jersey

Book Description
FINALIST FOR THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S AWARD FOR NON-FICTION Interrogating our ideas of race through the lens of her own multi-racial identity, critically acclaimed novelist Tessa McWatt turns her eye on herself, her body and this world in a powerful new work of non-fiction. Tessa McWatt has been called Susie Wong, Pocahontas and "black bitch," and has been judged not black enough by people who assume she straightens her hair. Now, through a close examination of her own body--nose, lips, hair, skin, eyes, ass, bones and blood--which holds up a mirror to the way culture reads all bodies, she asks why we persist in thinking in terms of race today when racism is killing us. Her grandmother's family fled southern China for British Guiana after her great uncle was shot in his own dentist's chair during the First Sino-Japanese War. McWatt is made of this woman and more: those who arrived in British Guiana from India as indentured labour and those who were brought from Africa as cargo to work on the sugar plantations; colonists and those whom colonialism displaced. How do you tick a box on a census form or job application when your ancestry is Scottish, English, French, Portuguese, Indian, Amerindian, African and Chinese? How do you finally answer a question first posed to you in grade school: "What are you?" And where do you find a sense of belonging in a supposedly "post-racial" world where shadism, fear of blackness, identity politics and call-out culture vie with each other noisily, relentlessly and still lethally? Shame on Me is a personal and powerful exploration of history and identity, colour and desire from a writer who, having been plagued with confusion about her race all her life, has at last found kinship and solidarity in story.
