Many people want to release the baggage from the past, but don’t know how. Life Without Baggage is a workbook that explains the layers of emotional baggage that can accumulate and the practical steps to move forward. This Christian book illuminates how to identify the hooks (such as attachments, rejection, judgments, and false worship) that hold lingering baggage in place. This workbook will help you:

1. RECOGNIZE the known and unknown sources of your baggage,
2. RELEASE the layers through strategic prayer, and
3. REBUILD your life with the principles of Scripture. (By the way, my podcast is named after this book.)

Correcting Distortions In Your View of God: How to Unload Baggage that Blocks Your Vision helps you understand why you may have trouble feeling close to God even though you are trying your best to follow Him. Many women of faith live with nagging feelings that they aren’t doing enough to please God which results in chronic guilt. This book explains how to 1. RECOGNIZE Distortions, 2. RELEASE Barriers, and 3. BUILD a solid faith based on relationship rather than duty. The book explores the roots of some common distortions: perfectionism, rejection, dysfunctional families, trauma, or legalistic experiences with church. There are quizzes and questions to help you recognize your personal distortions. I have included prayers that have helped women release their distortions. The last sections of the book explain how to build a solid foundation of faith that is not based on guilt or religious duty but on connection to Jesus Christ and His invitations to approach Him for what you need.
