Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything

We long to make a break from the relentless pursuit of acceptance and the unrelenting fear of rejection. Yet we end up striving to please people, holding on to the burden of perfectionism and grappling for control rather than finding the freedom God promises. In this inspired read, Jessica Van Roekel offers a path through the pain rejection causes to the exhilarating freedom that comes when you’re released from the yoke of living for other people’s approval. Through poignant stories and examination of Scripture, Reframing Rejection will lead you to the joy of walking in the fullness of who God created you to be. Each chapter includes brief questions for self-reflection to guide you in gaining a new perspective of rejection. 

 

Product Description

Do you struggle to overcome rejection? Does it seem like no matter what you do, rejection still happens? You twist this way and that, trying to please your boss, friends, and family. Insecurity grips your heart because you wonder if rejection is inevitable. But what if we could move from a place of fearing it to overcoming it?  

 This was the question Jessica Van Roekel asked when she came awake to the consequences of striving for a rejection-proof life. Instead of living in God’s freedom, she lived trapped in people pleasing, perfectionism, and control. Through poignant and personal stories, Jessica takes you through the journey of reframing rejection so that you might live free from rejection’s tyranny.
