The experience of shame is more common than we think. It isn't confined to those who have failed or gone through trauma or who have been told as children they would never amount to anything. People who are immensely successful also struggle with a sense they are deficient in some way. Drawing on a wide range of sources including scripture, spiritual formation classics, psychology, and relational neuroscience, and using a rich variety of stories from his own life, Ken Shigematsu shows how a deep, experiential encounter with the love of God can heal us of our shame, make us whole, and inspire us to fulfill our purpose by making a faithful contribution to the world. Now I Become Myself will help you to break free of envy and will reveal how beauty and the experience of joy can help us overcome shame. It is for anyone who has a sense of not being enough in some way--whether you've experienced suffering or success--who longs to live out of a healthy sense of security and freedom.
