Unmasking the Spirit of Shame: Breaking Free from the Past

Shame is a painful emotion we all experience from time to time. Some of us live everyday with feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, fears of failure and feeling that we simply don't belong. You might have grown up feeling this way; believing you are worthless and incapable of being loved. You might have been told that you are no good, that you are stupid, or that you would never amount to anything.
Just like you, I have struggled most of my life with painful emotions of failure that washed over me like a tidal wave across a sandy beach. I felt helpless to change my life, believing there was absolutely nothing I could do to raise myself out of this dark pit of despair. However, as much as I felt trapped, there flickered a small ray of hope on the inside that kept me believing that one day my life would change for the better, and it did change.
There is hope for you too, my friend! You don't have to accept a life ravaged by the pain of shame any longer. You don't have to accept the crumbs of just enough. You can experience emotional freedom from a shamed-filled life.
Between the pages of this book, you will learn how to break free from the shame that binds you, by learning to recognize this evil for what it is. Second, you will learn to recognize destructive ways of thinking by discovering the reasons behind those damaging thoughts. Third, I will give you a road map on how to change your life so that you can enjoy the emotional and spiritual freedom you have only dreamed about.
God created us to live a life of joy, peace and fulfillment. My prayer is that you overcome the curse of shame to become the beautiful person that our Heavenly Father created you to be. I want you to know that you can live a life full of meaning and purpose. You can be FREE!

My name is Janice Davis. In 2012 I published my first book titled "Face to Face With God: Healing the Cry Within", about my own personal journey through pain, suffering, and heartbreak. Overcoming and facing the myriad emotional obstacles that stood in my way is what helped me to become whole inside. My relationship with Jesus Christ gave me the strength and fortitude to face overwhelming giants of fear, rejection, abandonment and self-hatred.
This was only the beginning for me. Since that time, I've written two more books, "Early Will I Seek Thee: 6 Weeks of Daily Devotionals" and "Unmasking the Spirit of Shame: Breaking Free from the Past". My greatest desire is to see people overcome overwhelming odds in their lives through a relationship rooted and grounded in Jesus Christ and to become emotionally well.
I understand how difficult life can be when you don't know where to turn. I also know God wants to see us become emotionally well and spiritually sound that we may enjoy a life of peace and joy.
This ministry was established upon the principles that the Word of God is infallible and that Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God. Each day I ask God to give me a "Word" that will be a source of encouragement to you, the reader, providing spiritual nourishment to begin your day.
Not only do I want to encourage you, but I want to teach you how to cultivate a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through the practice of His Holy Word. My prayer is that you grow leaps and bounds in your faith as you seek to know His ways.all too well the difficulty in tackling the tougher issues. At the tender age of 5 years old, I lost the most important influence in my life, my mother. A year later my father placed me and two of my siblings in a children's home... I lived there until I graduated from high school in 1981. I was bullied by my peers, experienced painful rejections, felt hopeless and abandoned, and I experienced fears of all kinds. I lacked personal identity which caused me to question my self-worth and even my worth in God's eyes. I struggled to understand how God could love someone as unlovable as me.
I have personally spent the past 25 years becoming emotionally and spiritually whole; preparing to offer words of hope and encouragement that others may experience a strong relationship with Jesus Christ as I have. My chief desire is to encourage others by using my own life experiences about emotional hea...
