4 I V P B O O K C L U B . C O M
Whether we realize it or not, shame affects
every aspect of our personal lives and vocational
endeavors. It seeks to destroy our identity in
Christ, replacing it with a damaged version of
ourselves that results in unhealed pain and bro-
kenness. But God is telling a different story forour lives.
Psychiatrist Curt Thompson unpacks the
soul of shame, revealing its ubiquitous nature
and neurobiological roots, based on years of
researching its damaging effects and counseling
people to overcome those wounds. Thompson’sexpertise and compassion will help you identify
your own pains and struggles and find freedom
from the lifelong negative messages that bind
you. Rewrite the story of your life and embrace
healing and wholeness as you discover and
defeat shame’s insidious agenda.

“With the heart of a pastor and the training of a surgeon,
Dr. Thompson excavates layers of shame and then dem-
onstrates their life-destroying aspects when left untreated.
. . . Every individual who suffers under the weight of
shame will benefit from this important book.”
—Gayle D. Beebe, president, Westmont College
“This is a challenging but profoundly life-giving book
that teaches us—using many fascinating stories from
Thompson’s work as a psychiatrist—how to relate our
inner world of thoughts, emotions and body sensations
to the intriguing findings of contemporary brain scienceand above all, to the biblical story of God’s longing that
we live openly in the light of his love, delight and grace.”
—Richard Winter, psychotherapist, director of
counseling, Covenant Theological Seminary
“Using his background in interpersonal neuro-
biology, Dr. Thompson shines a bright light of love on
the domains of darkness in the layers of our minds to
expose and expel the power of shame. This is a life-
changing book.”
—Nicole Johnson, author of Fresh Brewed Life
“With each chapter, I felt like someone had opened a
new window in my soul, taming my fears with new
shafts of warm light. I read it with hope. I marked it
with tears. I finished it with gratitude. And I commend
it to anyone burdened by shame with something like pleading: Come out from hiding; it is not shame but
Love that you will find!”
—Gregory Thompson, senior pastor, Trinity
Church, Charlottesville, VA
