description: For most of her life Esther Fleece believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them altogether. She was known by all as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe youve done the same. When life hurts hard we often feel pressurefrom others and ourselvesto keep it together suck it up or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are not where we pretend to be.Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with our raw emotions and an alternative to the coping methods that end up causing more pain. It's called lamentthe gut-level honest prayer that God never ignores never silences and never wastes. Lament Esther says is a prayer woven throughout Scripture. But more than a prayer it is the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God.No More Faking Fine is your permission to lamentto give voice to the hurt frustration and disappointment youve kept inside and silenced for too long. Drawing from deep reserves of biblical study and hard-won insight Esther reveals how to use Gods own language to draw closer to him as he leads us through any darkness into His marvelous light. Like Esther you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine it gives permission to everyone else to do the same.
