Description
You know you should move on—so why can’t you?
Regardless of how long ago you were hurt, feelings of betrayal, bitterness, and confusion still repeat in your mind. You find unwanted thoughts creeping in:
I would never do to them what they did to me.
How can they be a Christian and act this way?
God, why did you allow this?
My bitterness isn’t as bad as what they did to me.
But I didn’t do anything wrong.
If I don’t fight for myself, no one will.
Each chapter addresses a different unwanted thought and combats them with biblical truths to give you the practical tools to beat bitterness once and for all.
By exposing bitterness and trusting God to bring justice in his way, you can finally get your life back! What are you waiting for? Open the book!

"If I don't fight for myself no one will"
I Want to Move On was a fantastic book of stories told with the intention of teaching the reader how to move on. I have grown fond of self help books and find them extremely rewarding. With that being said this was my first book from this author and I cannot wait to read more of her work.
Within this book, different unwanted thoughts are not only portrayed in an extremely accurate and relatable way, they were also remedied with helpful tips and practical tools related to God to beat the bitterness we all may feel at one point or another.
I cannot wait to utilize some of the techniques discussed in this book and finally get my life back BITTERNESS FREE! Pick up a copy of this book, you will not regret it!
