Unashamed: Drop the Baggage, Pick up Your Freedom, Fulfill Your Destiny
It creeps from heart to heart, growing in shadowy places, feeding on itself so that those struggling with it are too shamed to seek help from shame itself.”. In Unashamed, Christine reveals the often-hidden consequences of shame—in her own life and the lives of so many Christian women—and invites you to join her in moving from a shame-filled to a shame-free life. You can deal with your yesterday today, so that you can move on to what God has in store for you tomorrow—a powerful purpose and destiny he wants you to fulfill. Of any book that Christine Caine has written, Unashamed has unmatched potential to bring deep healing into the lives of those who are broken and hurting. Whether you are struggling or know someone who is, this book will build your faith and equip you to move from shame to freedom and God’s ultimate plan for your life. ( –Craig Groeschel, senior pastor of Life.Church and author of #Struggles―Following Jesus in a Selfie-Centered World ). Christine Caine is undeniably anointed, unashamedly Christ-focused, and unguardedly real. Her sincere and strong voice will inspire you, and her own display of courage will give you strength to step fully into God’s love and grace. As a founder of The A21 Campaign, Christine leads one of the largest non-profit organizations in the world dedicated to rescuing victims of human trafficking in twelve countries. Christine and her husband, Nick, spend their time in both Sydney, Australia, and the United States, and they adore their daughters Catie and Sophie.

"Yes, I cried through several of the pages, having to stop and really process my life - how and why certain things have caused me to be a people-pleaser, a perfectionist, a control freak, and pretty dang good at putting up walls and keeping people at a go-go-gadget type of arm’s length away. "Jesus had set me free from shame, but I had to choose to stand up and walk out of my unlocked prison cell, drop off my unshackled chains, and step into the future shame-free (p. The Holy Spirit worked through the typing on the pages, from the heart of Christine Caine. He is the Redeemer and satan wants me to stay locked in the darkness of shame so I can’t live into my fullest potential."
"Beautiful rags to riches story!!!"
"Best related book for me was John Bradshaw's Healing the Shame That Binds You."
"This is an amazing cd from Christine Caine."
"Christine's story and the many stories she shares in this book are so easy to relate to our own."
"If you have ever thought about giving your life to Jesus, you should read her books."
"Get on the Glory train, don't get sidetracked, leave you baggage behind, and look out for those with locoMOTIVES."
"Great study, highly recommend it to anyone looking for freedom in their walk with Christ!"

"So often I’ve found that the best books are the ones that appear with the least fuss, and that the ones carried in on the back of a major marketing wave prove to be disappointing. It was the talk of this year’s Gospel Coalition National Conference for Women and has been pushed heavily in the blogosphere. She explains that the book’s purpose is “to teach you not merely a doctrine, concept, or story line, but a study method that will allow you to open up the Bible on your own. It intends to challenge you to think and to grow, using tools accessible to all of us, whether we hold a high school diploma or a seminary degree, whether we have minutes or hours to give to it each day.”. Before she gets to a method of studying the Bible, she tells about two turnarounds she had to make in her life, where she replaced backward approaches to Bible study with better ones. With those foundations in place, she makes a plea for biblical literacy and follows it with a five-part method meant to bring it about. While I am not the target audience for the book (I don’t ever anticipate being a woman of the Word), I found it very enjoyable nonetheless."
"Excellent ."
"Still working thru the study, I am happy with this purchase."
"really got a lot out of this book."
"I wish I had, had this book when I first started studying the Bible."
"This is an excellent book for any Christian looking to better understand the bible!"
"She writes in a matter-of-fact way that explains the importance of the process and how accurate handling of the truth of Scripture is paramount."
"All women (and men too) should read this book."
