Lies We Tell Ourselves by Amy Matayo
5.0
Lies are so damaging, yet we tell them to ourselves all the time. I’ve heard many of the comments in this book. “I’m not good enough?” “I’m a mistake.” “I’ll never be worthy.” For a long time, I told people I was the middle child, left-handed, and the oddball in the family. My sisters told me I was adopted. (I wasn’t!) But it still stuck with me even as I grew older. However, one day, I realized, I’m chosen and a child of the King. I need to lift my head up and not let Satan speak those lies in my ears. I will say that some days it’s not easy.
I’m not sure how the author, Amy Matayo was able to hear all those voices in my head. This book was written in such a way that I truly felt all the pain and thoughts Micah and Presley went through. I was never abused physically, and I have a wonderful family, but there were still those things Satan used to speak into my head to make me doubt my worth as a person.
If you’ve ever struggled with issues of worth, depression, and loneliness, then this book will touch you in a deep way. I know it will stick with me for a long time. I loved many of the quotes in this story and plan to make graphics to remember them.
Amy Matayo is a fantastic author who gets to the heart of issues. Her writing will wrap around you and not let go. I personally want to thank her for her wonderful words of encouragement.
When I started this book I truly couldn’t stop until I finished the whole thing. Wow! It’s that good!
I was given this book by the author for an honest review, all opinions are my own.
