Synopsis

Shame controls far too many of us. Worthless, inferior, rejected, weak, humiliated, failure...it all adds up to wishing we could get away from others and hide. We know what shame feels like. The way out, however, is harder to find. Time doesn't help, neither does confession, because shame is just as often from what others do to you as it is from what you have done. But the Bible is about shame from start to finish, and, if we are willing, God's beautiful words break through.

Look at Jesus through the lens of shame and see how the marginalized and worthless are his favorites and become his people. God cares for the shamed. Through Jesus you are covered, adopted, cleansed, and healed.

Shame Interrupted is a perfect book if you are feeling left out or marginalised because it will help you understand that all Christians are loved by God. You'll learn that through faith there is nothing to be ashamed about and you should celebrate your differences.

Goodreads review by Tara on May 29, 2014

Like all Ed Welch books, the content is excellent, but the style falls short. He's very repetitive and a little bit too folksy for my taste. But the flip-side of that complaint is that the book is easily accessible to virtually everyone, as a book this important should be. Particularly helpful to me......more

Goodreads review by Mike on May 13, 2013

Great book. It talks about a topic that no one writes about--Shame. There isn't even anything in the theology books about shame, though it is all over the Bible. It also comes up in my counseling all the time and is at the heart of many many problems people have with living.......more

Goodreads review by John on January 27, 2023

In “Shame Interrupted,” Ed Welch tackles the challenging topic of shame. The Western church has expended much effort in dissecting the topic of guilt. It’s good to see increasing effort being taken to address the equally important issue of shame. As a pastor and counselor, my experience is that sham......more
