Goodbye Hiding, Hello Freedom
In Goodbye Hiding, Hello Freedom, Morgan Krueger writes about trading your shame for redemption in Jesus. The book begins with a simple yet profound truth: We belong to our Heavenly Father and our identity is intrinsically tied to our Creator.
Krueger explains that our shame stems from our sin. While guilt focuses on what we have done, shame focuses on who we believe we are. The good news is that God offers to redeem all areas of shame in our lives, if we are willing to let Him.
A Correct View of God
The next part of the book emphasizes that freedom begins with a correct view of God, the one who takes care of us and will never abandon us. Krueger proclaims that His love for us is not contingent on our performance or perfection.
What intrigued me most was how Krueger addresses shame in the context of dating wounds. She talks about love, boundaries, and intimacy, providing practical and biblical insights. Krueger speaks directly to her single sisters in Christ, offering examples from Scripture of how Jesus interacted with women and how this interaction affirms their worth and value.
Identity in the Gospel
She calls singles to embrace community, where they can find compassion, empathy, and grace. The book points to Christ and our need to receive His forgiveness. When we live in the light of Christ, we are positioned to receive hope and healing from our shame.
Goodbye Hiding, Hello Freedom shares how true freedom is found in Christ. It will help you embrace your identity in the Gospel, and bring you closer to God.
