About this item

If you've ever been given empty clichs during challenging times, you know how painful it can feel to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. Far too often, it seems the response we get to our hurt and disappointment is to suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get gut-level honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. Lament, a practice woven throughout Scripture, is a prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. As author Esther Fleece says, "Lament is the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God, and with those around us." Esther learned this the hard way, by believing she could shut down painful emotions that haunted her from a broken past she tried to forget on her fast track to success.



About the Author

Esther Fleece

Esther Fleece's success and influence as a millennial leader have come not only courtesy of professional acumen, but personal experience. It is through the tragedies and triumphs of her own life - some of which she has shared as a highly sought-after international speaker - that she has established authority and authenticity with people from all walks of life.

She shares those experiences in greater depth than ever before in her first book, No More Faking Fine, in the hope that readers will apply the events and learnings of her life to their own disappointments and injuries, resulting in new hope, healing and health.

In addition to writing and speaking, Fleece is founder and CEO of L&L Consulting, Inc., where she helps new and established Christian ministries develop innovative strategies for non-profit sustainability, new business development, next generation outreach, marketing and communications and relationship brokering. She is recognized as a trailblazer among millennials, working for a decade to connect influential individuals and organizations across generations to their mutual benefit.

CNN has called Fleece one of "Five Women to Watch in Religion," USA Today has named her one of the "New Faces of Evangelicalism" and Christianity Today and Outreach magazine have also singled her out for her high-profile work. Her insights into the experiences and aspirations of millennials have appeared in The Washington Post, CNN as well as in Barna Research President David Kinnaman's book You Lost Me: Why Young Christians are Leaving Church and Rethinking Faith.

When Esther isn't teaching, leading, writing, speaking, reading, connecting, or traveling ... she is shopping.
