The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us in Suffering by Vaneetha Rendall Risner

3.0

As a former Christian, once in a while, I read Christian literature without the dogma of religion. This book is a great story of resilience, despite disagreeing with the author regarding how faith in God is more effective than stoicism to achieve resilience, and how emotional pain is something to be embraced rather than something to healthily deal through with, I find fascinating how it is embedded in human nature to find one way or another to deal with such pain.

The book is extremely easy to read, but I found it repetitive at times, it felt like journal entries just stacked together without any editing.
