She Is Free: Learning the Truth about the Lies that Hold You Captive

This book helped me explore my heart and relationships in ways I had not considered. I’m thankful for the help this book has brought to my growth continuum. Especially in the way I look at and process my wounds that I thought I was “over”. Helped me realize there is always more. Biblical sound, love the way ANDI writes. Thank you for the gift of SHE IS FREE! I am indeed free and share this book with anyone in my circle.

If you're going to buy this book, my word of encouragement is don't try to read this book on public transportation. This is not a subway read unless you enjoy crying on the train, so find a quiet place, keep a journal nearby, and a warm choice of beverage. With the questions and prompts throughout the book and the end of chapters, don't hold back in being honest with yourself as Andi guides you to clearer understanding of who Jesus is and what freedom looks like. There will be some cognitive dissonance at times, but it's helpful in decision-making. Don't give up, and try not to set the book down too long.For those unsure if they're going to click buy, here's a part of my story:It's just beginning to sink in, but for every lie I believe about myself, the brokenness of the world and in turn my heavenly Father, God mercifully desires to exchange it with FRESH TRUTH. I just moved to New York City this summer and with full transparency, I was having quite the time adjusting to a new pace of life at a new church, new school, and longer commute times. People said, "NYC eats people alive!", "50% of people don't finish their doctoral programs.", "It's going to be so isolating - that's why doc students are chronically in mental health crises" -- And then the book arrived in the mail just after my second week of walking around campus on eggshells, and something happened -- I saw my story written out by Andi and thought maybe she had gotten her hands on my journal. I was like "Ruh Roh! Something has got to give!" And the Lord responded with "Yes, Daughter - Give me your heart."You see, in reading this book and with the power of the Holy Spirit made tangible in the publishing of this book, I was delivered from my partnership with fear. I had been burnout before and was afraid of being burned again. I was forgetting to remember God's goodness, and in turn allowing "fear [to be] my form of faith" when I should know "it's faith in the wrong kingdom" (p. 101). Andi writes, "What we dwell on is what we dwell in and become, whether life-giving and death-dealing" (p. 104), and I was dwelling in some death-dealing statistics as opposed to walking in authority with my held head high because the Lord is my refuge. No circumstance can detract or distort that promise - not even this very large city that I now reside! Especially when I call to mind Psalm 91 as the Psalm of Protection !!

I am currently reading She is Free and am in love with every page. It is actually difficult for me to read too quickly as I am so moved and want to press in and linger relishing the truths and wisdom and allow it to settle into my spirit. Andi is honest and loving and deeply relatable as she shares about her family, her inner thoughts, and common struggles we face in our lives as well as the special and insidious lies that come into our minds and try to work their way into our hearts, holding us in bondage, telling us we are not good enough, not lovable, that we are not meant to have good things in our lives (love, motherhood, fill-in-the-blank with whatever secret fear haunts you). Most of all she shows how God is our loving Father and life giver and the answer to all of our insecurities and fears lies in knowing who He is, His word, and who He says we are as his children. I take my time with this book , as I feel the truth wrap around my heart, and I pray reading the guiding questions at the end of every chapter. I thank God for Andi and this book as she is a warrior for all of us; and shows us that we are in fact warriors also, that we are strong and beautiful daughters of God and that all it takes to fight is to shine light on the truth and hold it up letting it penetrate the dark, shadowy corners of our heart.

Are you tired of living a fake Christian life and pretending you’ve got it all together? I sure was. Have you been feeling trapped, crazy, sad, depressed, anxious, angry, full of shame, or isolated? Does it seem like no matter what you’ve tried, real freedom is beyond your grasp? Well if you identify with ANY of these things, like I did, then this book is for you!I really appreciate the way Andi vulnerably writes her own personal journey to freedom and took me along with her. She gave great practical tools at the end of each chapter that helped me dive in and find answers for myself. This book also helped me to connect with God by learning WHOSE I am and therefore who I am. Be ready to dig deep and get very honest with yourself as you identify the lies of the enemy, root them out, and get rid of them forever by replacing them with the REAL TRUTH from our loving Father.If you’re looking for real freedom and real connection with our Heavenly Father, then I highly recommend reading this book! I also think it’d be great for a book club, Bible study, or to just read through with a good friend and process your journeys to freedom together.Let’s all get truly free, and help others to be set free too!

Freedom. I was free, or was I? After reading this book I can say I I am freer than I have ever been in my life. I am free of control because for most of my life, I had gone through seasons where reacted and spun out of control by lashing out at those I loved the most. I am free of anger that was buried deeper and I felt I needed to control everyone and everything in my life. Today I can say I am free. These are just two area brought up in this book on learning the truth about the lies we keep hidden as truths.This is a book where you will laugh, weep and cry. You will have a chance to be real with yourself and others. Dear one, you deserve to take time to cleanse your soul as the chapters, questions and scripture reminds us to rise and become the daughter God has called us to become. Today is a new day. Rejoice, and be glad!

Probably my first introductory read and thinking to get me away from fear based faith. Loved it and I should read again soon.

This book has blessed my heart so much. The times we are living in are causing many people to live in fear, but fear is not our portion of we belong to Jesus. She is free is a message that the world needs to hear. It's not just for women, but for men and those in all walks of life too. Because Jesus came so that we ALL might be free. So often in life we can walk around and carry baggage that isn't ours to carry. This book has highlighted areas in my life where I am believing lies and not walking in complete freedom. Andi writes in such an amazing way where you literally feel like you're having coffee with her. She is so real, raw, honest and shares her freedom journey without shame. This book has challenged me to dig deep into the places of my heart, to have a deeper hunger for the presence of God - because that's where my freedom is found.I would recommend this book to anyone because it's a message that we all need to hear. I would also recommend it to those who want to walk in greater levels of freedom.I have just finished reading this book and I'm going straight back to the start to read it again. It's extremely powerful.
