From Shame to Glory God's Surprising Remedy for Injustice & Failure

Discover God's surprising remedy for the shame you carry.

You know what to do with guilt--confess, make amends, try to move on. But shame is different. It clings. It whispers, "you are the problem" and is hard to shake off. In From Shame to Glory, theologian and pastor John W. Kleinig exposes where shame hides and how it shapes the way you see God, yourself, and others.

Through vivid stories and careful attention to Scripture, Kleinig traces shame's roots in the Bible and in everyday experience. He shows how family and society can deepen your sense of disgrace, and why your usual strategies--performing harder, ignoring it, numbing it--never really set you free. Instead, he shows you how freedom is at the foot of the cross and in the resurrection of Christ. In this, God does something astonishing: He takes your shame on Himself and clothes you with His glory. Gentle, honest, and centered on healing with Christ, this book points the way from hiding to healing, from self-contempt to glory.
