We are prone to insecurity, to fear of failure and to regret, and the instinct is to hide all three. The result is isolation - from the people around us and from God, who was never the one we needed to hide from.

In fifty short devotionals, counselor Edward T. Welch shows how God speaks into shame, disappointment and inadequacy with gentleness, depth and hope, and how hiding undermines the very relationships we were made for. Each day works from a specific biblical truth, which keeps the book from becoming reassurance without ground. Hardcover, and small enough to use daily.
