When a conservative Christian woman prays for real friendship, she does not expect God to send her an agnostic liberal. Andrea Pouliot and Kimberly Lisowski are two family-oriented women that formed a bond shortly after moving into the same neighborhood. Although they were miles away in their beliefs, they shared countless discussions over coffee and buttered-biscuits. They embarked on an emotional and spiritual journey, looking for truth through prayer, psychology, and the Bible. This book is a memoir of their unlikely friendship and the unveiling of lies they were fed.
These two authors don’t skirt around anything! They get to the heart of issues - revealing their deepest secrets and fears to one another and their readers. Abortion, miscarriage, unfulfilled dreams, and strained relationships are only a few of the sensitive subjects they discuss. They talk about how certain lies have shaped their thoughts, behaviors, and worldview. They also address their feelings on unanswered prayers, impure motives, Christian programmed responses, and protecting one’s image for the sake of appearing normal. They remind us, “Your worth is not wrapped up into your images.”
Are you tired of trying to live up to someone else’s expectations? Do you suffer from perfectionism or feelings of inadequacy? Do you want to unearth the lies you have been fed? If so, then you will want to read this book. Their story is an awesome testimony of friendship. It also demonstrates how God will give us wisdom and revelation when we earnestly seek Him.
Kimberly and Andrea are both founders of The Apple You Were Fed Ministries. They understand that our loving God has been misrepresented to many, which causes seekers frustration and pain. They trust that their experiences and story will offer these seekers hope. To learn more about these authors and their ministry, visit http://www.theappleyouwerefed.com/
