The Gospel Coalition 2024 Book Awards, Christian Living, Award of Distinction

Body shaming. Marriage shaming. Single shaming. Mom shaming. Lifestyle shaming. Religious shaming. It seems no matter which direction we turn, women can’t shake the shame that is constantly piled on top of us.

Author and podcaster Jasmine L. Holmes knows this struggle all too well. Though shame has been a constant companion (and even a snare) throughout her life, God has broken the chains of shame in Jasmine’s life through the power of the gospel. In this Christ-centered, empowering book, prepare to discover:

• The story of shame: where it comes from, what it is, what makes it different from guilt or conviction, and why it’s so pervasive.


• The problem with shame: why the typical methods of throwing off shame don’t actually work.


• The end of shame: how Jesus puts an end to shame by offering a better covering, a better image, and a better message than the world can.


• The way to fight shame: how to use practical and powerful ways to fight shame in daily life, breaking its chains in the power of the gospel and resting in the One who has taken all your shame away for good.

The story of shame is a powerful one. But even stronger are the arms of the One who carried your shame and will never cast you out. Are you ready to experience Him and finally be free?
