In May 2008, Anne Jackson asked a question onher blog, "What is one thing you feel you can't say in church?" Hundreds responded. Everyone had a story. Permission to Speak Freely is the unique new project and movement of author AnneJackson, who is finished with keeping brokenness in the dark. Bringing to lightthe original intent of God's sanctuary as a place of help and healing, Annereveals that through confession, both to God and to others, we can live livesthat are whole and healed. Told with disarming transparency, Anne shareswhat led to her own addictions and the ensuing lifestyle that left her woundedand withdrawn, but ultimately rescued and redeemed. She includes dramaticstories of others who also learned to abandon their fear, pride, and masks; toidentify their hurts; and to find the courage to speak freely. Their confessions, submitted as mixed mediapieces, photography, and sketches, were collected from people across the world,and are included throughout the book. Readers will share in the opportunity tofind their own path to redemption and freedom. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

By giving her confession, Anne is giving all of us a beautiful gift. She is helping the church understand how it appears to those who are struggling and why young people are turning away. She is inspiring us to confess our own struggles by showing what a blessing confession can be and how it is the first step towards healing. She is providing us with a sense of community and oneness - the message that we are not alone. And she is showing us what grace looks like, providing hope to all of us that are lost.
Read this book because you want to understand young people. Read this book because you struggle. Read this book if you feel rejected or alone. Read this book if you need some hope. Read this book to experience God's grace. Read this book to learn what it means to love your neighbor in our broken world.
And then thank God for giving Anne the courage to write this book and speak to crowds with open arms using her struggles to bring all of us closer to Him. I know I did. ( )
