You are not alone if these phrases ring familiar to you. Today, even the most emotionally stable individuals go through various levels of pain brought on by guilt and shame. We may find it difficult to connect with others and experience the freedom that comes from living for Christ if we are carrying around a heavy load of guilt.
The many ways that guilt overtly presents itself in our lives are covered in Dr. Mercy James' book Overcoming Guilt. They discover the origins of and appropriate responses to guilt via pastoral counseling and illustrative psychological case studies.
