I Want To Trust You But I Don’t – Book Review

I Want To Trust You But I Don’t by Lysa Terkeurst – Book Review

If you have ever had someone violate your trust, then you know how hard it is to forgive and move forward.

Relationships require trust, but the pain of a devastating hurt or heartbreak makes it extremely difficult to open ourselves up to the possibility of future hurt.

It makes us hard to trust the people in our lives who truly love and care about us.

And, if we do not truly know and understand who God is and how much He loves us, we struggle to trust Him as well.

But friends, as one who has been in that place, living with walls around our heart is no way to live at all.

That’s why, if you are struggling to tear down those walls and heal the hurts that prevent you from connecting with others and communing with God, I recommend you pick up a copy of Lysa Terkeurst’s latest book and workbook, I Want To Trust You, But I Don’t.

For those of you who are familiar with Lysa’s story, you know that she struggled for years to heal from the pain of infidelity before finding the courage and the healing she needed to move on.

Now, she’s sharing her hard-earned wisdom in these books which are written in Lysa’s characteristic emotive but God-honoring style.

Among other things, you’ll learn how to:

Identify the eleven relational red flags that stir up distrust, so you can pinpoint why you feel uneasy.
Recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust,
Understand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the betrayals you’ve experienced and start healing from the inside out.
Stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you by asking crucial “what if” questions to better process your doubts;

In I Want To Trust You, But I Don’t, Lysa provides everything you need to heal from the pain of your past and learn how to trust yourself, others and God again.

If you’re ready to tackle the challenging but necessary process of healing and regaining your trust, I highly recommend Lysa’s book and workbook to you!

I rate this book and workbook 5 stars.
