Begin Again


I received a copy of BEGIN AGAIN: THE BRAVE PRACTICE OF RELEASING HURT AND RECEIVING REST by Leeana Tankersley from Revell Reads in exchange for an honest review.  The foreword is by Shauna Niequist.

I chose this book to review because I’m in the process of “beginning again.”  I lost my job, and with it, what I believed to be my career.  I felt miserable.  Hopeless.  Lost.  It has taken me a long time to get over the hurt of it, and now I’m seeking to pick myself up by my bootstraps. 

I found this book to be beautiful.  In many ways, it opened my eyes and gave me a fresh hope.  The author speaks to us from a place of hurt in her own laugh.  In that sense, it makes the reader trust her.  She has lived what you have lived, even if it is in a slightly different way. 

This is a religious book, and the religion is heavy.  I’m not sure I would recommend it to those who have a different faith, although many of the examples apply to any of us.
