Synopsis

Read by the author.Walking through Psalm 23 phrase by phrase, therapist and author K.J. Ramsey explores the landscape of our fear, trauma, and faith. When she stepped through her own wilderness of spiritual abuse and religious trauma, K.J. discovered that courage is not the absence of anxiety but the practice of trusting we will be held and loved no matter what.How can we cultivate courage when fear overshadows our lives? How do we hear the Voice of Love when hate and harm shout loud? This book offers an honest path to finding that there is still a Good Shepherd who is always following you. Braiding contemplative storytelling, theological reflection, and practical neuroscience, Ramsey reveals a route into connection and joy that begins right where you are.The Lord is My Courage is for the deconstructing and the dreamers, the afraid and the amazed, for those whose fear has not been fully shepherded but who can't seem to stop listening for their Good Shepherd's Voice.

The reality of what this book discusses should provoke me and unsettle me as I consider the ways I participate in the harm this book describes. There was another part of me that w......more

Goodreads review by Jessica

As an individual having grown up in a less than ideal church environment, this is easily one of the most healing and refreshing books I’ve ever read. It tackles the really tough topic of religious trauma (but in a redemptive and hope filled way :)). I will be rereading this, and I cannot recommend i......more

Goodreads review by Darlene

2.5 stars rounding up. There is a very important message in this book, but it could have been delivered in a paragraph or at most two. It feels like I read someone's journal. I'm sure it was therapeutic for the author, but it was very repetitive for the reader.......more
