Undone

Sometimes a sudden crisis breaks us down, and at other times a slow build of small pressures leaves us feeling worn thin and unraveled. In those moments many people notice that the self they show the world is not quite the self they really are. Laura Sumner Truax argues that these seasons of exposure and vulnerability do not have to be only painful. They can open the way to a clearer sense of who we are and who we were made to become.

Writing from a Christian perspective, Truax suggests that when we reach the limit of our own strength, God can meet us there. The book looks at how he helps us face our fears, set down the masks we have been wearing, and recover our true selves as part of a larger story he is telling.
