Let Go of the Guilt

September 1, 2020
I believe guilt is epidemic among today's women . . . guilt isn't going away; it's coming on stronger than ever. Author and life coach Burton (Happy Women Live Better, 2013), delivers a much-needed message for the modern Christian woman. For this fascinating book, Burton surveyed more than 500 women regarding their personal guilt. Sharing her findings, Burton teaches readers the difference between false and authentic guilt, the three truths of guilt, and self-coaching methods to enable readers to move forward and out of the sticky mire of guilt. While using friends, clients, and other models for typical situations, Burton also defines the hows and whys of the deep root of the problem. Burton's Powerful Questions and What to Do Next sections, scattered throughout the book, can be breathtaking, leading to results that are deep, soul searching, gut wrenching, and introspective. While Burton is a Christian writer, her book is not preachy and instead provides constructive, thoughtful, personal, and motivating help for any reader looking to tackle this difficult topic.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
