No More Faking Fine: Ending the Pretending Audiobook (Free)

If you’ve have you been given clear clichés during challenging situations, you understand how painful it could feel to become misunderstood by well-meaning people. Far too often, it seems the response we get to our hurt and disappointment is to suck it up, or pray it away.

But Scripture reveals a God who matches us where we are, not where we pretend to be.

FORGET ABOUT Faking Fine is your invitation to get gut-level honest with God through the life-giving vocabulary of lament. Lament, a practice woven about FORGET ABOUT Faking Good: Finishing the Pretending throughout Scripture, is a prayer that God never ignores, hardly ever silences, and never wastes. As writer Esther Fleece says, “Lament is the unforeseen pathway to true intimacy with God, and with those all around us.”

Esther learned this the hard way, by thinking she could turn off painful feelings that haunted her from a broken history she tried to forget on her fast track to success. But in silencing her discomfort, she robbed herself of the chance to become healed. Probably you’ve performed the same.

No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament-to give voice towards the hurt, frustration, and disappointment you’ve kept inside and silenced for too long. Drawing from careful biblical research and hard-won understanding, Esther reveals how to use God’s very own language to draw closer to Him as He prospects us through any darkness into His marvelous light.
