We all have a story, and we all embrace a larger narrative for our life. That narrative shapes our meaning, values and purpose. That narrative becomes the lens through which we understand and live out truth. We are faced with two narratives for our lives and the world around us: the narrative of guilt and shame or the narrative of God's love and grace. Guilt and shame as a narrative are toxic and powerful forces in our culture and in our lives. The entire focus of this book is on helping people understand the nature of guilt and shame and their power.
