BREAKING FREE FROM BODY SHAME
Have you ever felt frustrated with your body? Has thinking about your body ever felt shallow or superficial? Do you often think about your body’s shortcomings, imperfections or challenges? Do you hold your body to an unrealistic standard? Have other people made comments about your body? Do you feel shame surrounding your body - how it looks, what it’s going through, its abilities or capabilities? Jess Connolly takes on this hot topic through the lens of God’s love for us and how loving our bodies is a way of receiving God’s love in Breaking Free from Body Shame.
This FREE Book Club is open to RFM patients and non-patients!

“Whether you struggle with eating or exercise habits, trauma or chronic illness, infertility or injury, this book makes space for you to experience God in that tender place. Writing from her own journey, Jess guides you through an eye-opening process of:
-
Finding freedom from the mentality that your body is a “project” in need of fixing
-
Changing the script of your self-talk from disempowering shame to empowering truth
-
Discovering self-care practices grounded in Scripture to let your body rest
-
Experiencing healing from labels your body has been given
The truest thing about you is that you are made and loved by God.
And the truest thing about Him is that He cannot make things bad.”
