Description

Women today are fading. In a female culture built on Photoshopped perfection and Pinterest fantasies, we’ve lost the ability to dream our own big dreams. So busy trying to do it all and have it all, we’ve missed the life we were really designed for. And we are paying the price. The rise of loneliness, depression, and anxiety among the female population in Western cultures is at an all-time high. Overall, women are two and a half times more likely to take antidepressants than men. What is it about our culture, the expectations, and our way of life that is breaking women down in unprecedented ways?

In this vulnerable memoir of transformation, Rebekah Lyons shares her journey from Atlanta, Georgia, to the heart of Manhattan, where she found herself blindsided by crippling depression and anxiety. Overwhelmed by the pressure to be domestically efficient, professionally astute, and physically attractive, Rebekah finally realized that freedom can come only by facing our greatest fears and fully surrendering to God’s call on our lives. This book is an invitation for all women to take that first step toward freedom. For it is only when we free-fall that we can truly fly.

    This book is so well written. It is a perfect read for young moms that find themselves feeling lost and numb in motherhood. Her story has inspired me to do some hard work in order to allow God to heal past hurts and lead me to live out the dreams and passions He has given to me. I love this book and highly recommend it!
  • Great read (for all)

    Tremendously insightful perspective on the power of surrender (to God's Will), acceptance of our imperfections and the healing nature of faith, love and hope. Very inspirational.
