Your Secret Name releases next Friday. Have you ordered your copy yet?
Here is one reader’s review. (I snuck this person an advance copy):
I don’t know if you see it as bravery or not, but your sharing so honestly about cutting has been refreshing and is (please don’t take this the wrong way) a little comforting too. The reason I say comforting is I think our stories may be similar. I had cut words also. I had never heard of anyone else doing that. I didn’t even tell my counselor that I cut words because I thought it was too….abnormal I guess.
But if you’ve ever known the odd relief and comfort of knowing that you aren’t or weren’t alone in a struggle or in the way you struggled, then you may understand why I had to thank you.
There are definitely elements in the breakdown of Jacob’s story that I think I missed in the rushed readings of the familiar Sunday school story. It’s funny how often I think I know a story in the Bible and then get blindsided by new meaning and opened eyes.
