Book Review and Giveaway - Fierce Wholeness By Robin Meade --- On Tour with Celebrate Lit


About the Book


Book:  Fierce Wholeness

Author: Robin Meade

Genre:  Nonfiction

Release Date: March 5, 2020


When the Bible talks about the third- and fourth-generational curse, that’s so true. If the curse is not broken by you, then who will stop it dead in its tracks? Dealing with forgotten pain, things you stuff down just to survive, is serious business. But that’s what Robin Meade did. Growing up, she was criticized, put down, and stomped on—by her own family. She chose to bury her pain.

Fierce Wholeness: Finding Myself after Childhood Emotional Trauma is Robin’s story—in all of its raw and messy but authentic and beautiful transparency as she unpacks the trajectory of her life from childhood to adulthood and seeks to repair the dam that had been busted, the riverbed that had been washed away, the landscape that had been obliterated by her family of origin.

Readers who grew up in the clutches of the branches of emotional abuse will be empowered by Robin’s story because of the freedom that Jesus gives. Robin’s story is raw and authentic, and readers will be encouraged by how they too can find fierce wholeness in Christ.

About the  Author

Robin Meade grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but now she walks with God in the beautiful suburbs of Chicago. For nearly five years she has led and taught as part of the women’s ministry team at New Life Brookfield Church. She loves her dog and great food, but mostly she loves Jesus, and strives to encourage people to experience God’s restorative healing and for God to be glorified through it.

 

 

 

More from Robin

There’s a level of ‘fierce’ that we all need to reach in our journey with Christ; to be real about the journey.  When you experience abuse as a child, there is a ‘normal’ way of perceiving your surroundings that’s set, and if not corrected, stays with you into adulthood.  My desire for this book is that people who have suffered childhood emotional abuse know they are not alone, that they can experience of healing through a relationship with Jesus Christ.  The Bible talks about being ready to give an account and running the race striving for first place and working out our salvation with fear and trembling – some of that has been lost in our Christian culture.  Jesus isn’t a wimp or a doormat because he is kind and forgiving and neither should we be.  I hope my story will be a blessing to many in their faith walk, to get to their level of ‘fierce’.

My Thoughts

Robin Meade writes her journey of healing so beautifully.  I found myself reflecting on my own   journey of healing as I read. I always know that God chooses books for me that he knows that I need to hear. 2020 has been a weird year - I have found myself starting to drift back into dark places of my own abuse. However, Robin's story is what I needed to remember how far I have come. Jesus can handle your anger, he can handle your tears, he can handle ANYTHING that you can throw at him. He endured the ultimate abuse and betrayal to save us. The author writes so clearly, that you can feel what she has gone through. She is real. She is raw. She is like talking to your best friend. If you have suffered any heartache as a child - this is a great book to help with healing. 

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit blogging program --- all thoughts are my own.
