CCEF Conference: Guilt & Shame

Having prayed for him for years as he worked on it, our family was thrilled with Dr. Ed Welch’s book on shame was released this year:

Shame Interrupted: How God Lifts the Pain of Worthlessness and Rejection

It really is my favorite book from 2012. I encourage you to read it, even if you don’t struggle with overwhelming feelings of badness, not-good-enough-ness, not measuring up, being worthy only of rejection (all descriptors for unbiblical shame) … because someone you know and love probably does. So don’t you want to be equipped to minister the beauty and power of the gospel to the shame-based people in your life? I do. (I need this help myself and I want to be ready to serve others.)

Thus, in addition to reading (and re-reading) the book, I am also checking in (as much as I can) on all of the online resources for 2012 CCEF Conference (that is going on right now). In just a few minutes, I leave to begin my service at a women’s conference in Oregon this weekend, so it may be Saturday evening/Sunday before I get to spend extended time with them. But I encourage you to stay in touch with CCEF if you would like to learn more about this topic:

• The 2012 CCEF Conference: Guilt & Shame (overview AND you can downoad all of the handouts!)
• Tweets for hashtag #ccefcon
• UStream TV (online when they are live broadcasting plenary sessions)

 
Thank you, CCEF Team, for serving the Lord and His Bride with such care, biblical faithfulness, and strategic, practical helps!

Gratefully,
Tara B.
