Quotes by Heather Davis Nelson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Shame always steals joy and limits freedom. Shame binds us in chains that feel unbreakable to realities that seem unchangeable. Jesus frees you in the Spirit of the Lord.”
Heather Davis Nelson, Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame

“Because any of us can fall (and we do), we are to respond to another’s fall into sin with compassion that seeks his restoration rather than seeking his punishment and exposure.”
Heather Davis Nelson, Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame

“Shame tends to resist accepting forgiveness. It wants to think it needs to be earned, or that it has never done quite enough, or that the mistakes or sin or imperfection are too pervasive for forgiveness; therefore, I’m not worthy.”
Heather Davis Nelson, Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame
