Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This book affected me so deeply it's difficult to write a review. I am so grateful I won this in a reader giveaway... It might have been a long time before I got around to reading it otherwise, but as soon as I started it I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Glennon writes in a way I think we can all relate to on some level, but I could relate to so many things she experienced. I felt in some ways I'd been exactly where she has, but in others she gave me courage to keep pushing (or stay still, as it may be). I look forward to reading more of her work, and I especially look forward to the release of Love Warrior so I can give it to friends and family! I'm really torn about this book. In some ways, I admired her journey of self-discovery. But often I wanted to tell her to stop whining and just get on with it. And I feel really sorry for her husband whose worst problems were exposed to the reading public as part of his wife's self-discovery. I hope he signed a waiver or got a percent of royalties for allowing his darkest secrets to be portrayed in a negative light. There were several spots I wanted more detail - so she stopped years of drinking and bulimia when she discovered she was pregnant; surely it couldn't have been all that easy. She learned to accept her husband's years of infidelity through therapy, yoga, and attending a church (I'm assuming UCC by the descriptions). Because of her wealth, familial support, and overall security, she had opportunities most women in abusive or troubled relationships don't have. I wonder if she ever realized how lucky she truly was.

Powerful. Personal. Fiercely honest. None of Glennon's pain has been wasted. She has shaped what some might see as disaster it into a story threaded with stars of courage and hope.
I read with pencil in hand and found insight, truth, and bell-like phrases with every turn of the page. Here are a few lines that struck me. (I held back. There's much more!)
"We know we must decide whether to stay small, quiet, and uncomplicated or allow ourselves to grow as big, loud, and complex as we were made to be. Every girl must decide whether to be true to herself or true to the world. Every girl must decide whether to settle for adoration or fight for love."
"Expecting less than true friendship in my most important relationship is so depressing."
"Every time I fling an internal demon onto the blank page, the demon turns out to be much less scary than I thought she was. I am becoming less afraid of myself. ...Truth telling becomes my shame checker and my relief."
"It occurs to me that saving pornography on this computer is like pouring whiskey into Amma's sippy cup."
"We are each responsible for our own sanity."
"The only way to survive is to make no sudden movements, to get comfortable with discomfort, and to find peace without answers."
"Self-betrayal is allowing fear to overrule the still, small voice of truth."
"...Will I be able to trust myself? This is the critical question. So I do the hard thing. I build trust with myself. I want to be the kind of person who will take care of me."
"But the paradox of pain is that it is only universal in retrospect. In the present, it is fiercely personal."
"Our story is the only thing we have that is completely our own."
"My fury is for every woman who's been told by the church that God values her marriage more than he values her soul, her safety, her freedom. My fury is for every woman who has been taught that God is man and man is God. My fury is for every woman who has been told that her bad marriage is the cross upon which she should hang herself."
"I owe nothing to the institution of Christianity -- not my health, not my dignity, not my silence, not my martyrdom. I do not answer to this place, I answer to God..."
"I do know what to do, just never more than one moment at a time."
On the two nights Glennon kept company with me I fell asleep wondering how she's doing and when she and I will meet for a cup of tea. We are definitely friends; we just haven't met yet. ( )
