The enemy wants us to feel rejected, left out, lonely, and less than. When we allow him to speak lies through our rejection, he pickpockets our purpose. Cripples our courage. Dismantles our dreams. And blinds us to the beauty of Christ's powerful love.
In Uninvited, Lysa shares her own deeply personal experiences with rejection - from the incredibly painful childhood abandonment by her father to the perceived judgment of the perfectly toned woman one elliptical over.
With biblical depth, gut-honest vulnerability, and refreshing wit, Lysa helps listeners
- Release the desire to fall apart or control the actions of others by embracing God-honoring ways to process their hurt
- Know exactly what to pray for the next 10 days to steady their souls and restore their confidence
- Overcome the two core fears that feed our insecurities by understanding the secret of belonging
- Stop feeling left out and start believing that "set apart" does not mean "set aside"
- End the cycle of perceived rejection by refusing to turn a small incident into a full-blown issue

"There were some good points so for that I was thankful that I read. But overall it was not at all what I expected. It dealt more with past hurts such as divorce and a broken heart but did not touch much upon current issues with loneliness and feeling left out. I get the gravity of the past hurts. I was abandoned by a parent too and rejected by the one that stayed. It did help me to see that there might be something to address and work through with God that might be spurring some current hurts. But Lysa's readers are generally women and many of their current struggles are seeing friends getting together without an invitation or seeing social media highlight that we are not included or that they don't feel invited or included in their church family or with other school parents. There was really none of that (one quick reference to social media) but it was all the unveiling of her past broken heart and father rejecting her. I am not downplaying that at all. It is just that the title of her book indicates more material for feeling lonely and left out and it really was not any of that. I am really glad that I got it from the library as I almost bought it. I would have been really disappointed. I loved The Best Yes so much more."

- I wanted to like this. A lot of Christian women in the circles I work in like the book, and I was excited to read it. It uses scripture -- a good thing, but that was the only part of the book that was helpful. She really did not do a good job of discussing how to deal with the main issue (assuming that you have read the Bible and are familiar with scripture). There are WAY too many personal stories of "oops" and way too much discussion of weight/body from a not very Christian perspective (way too much influence of culture and its view of beauty). I think in this category the better book options might be Surrender to Love by David Benner, Loveable by Kelly Flanagan, or perhaps even Anatomy of the Soul (really a Christian book about how our backgrounds and what we know about brain science intersect to explain why we feel the way we feel and what we can do about it).
- This book was a recommendation in a group that I follow and I have to say that the authors style of writing is honest and very visual. She used her real life examples to explain scripture and God's love for us when we feel left out and less than. I related to many parts in the book and when I found myself saying "well what about?" Then behold the next chapter covered something that I was seeking. We've all felt pain in life and have been rejected. I can't say how much this book has done for me. I've been following along and highlighting and mediating on scriptures from the book in my bible as well. I wasn't raised in church. I was saved about three years ago and am learning so much about God's word and it's books like this that help me in my walk with him.
You can tell that the author was genuine and not just trying to put a book out. I truly appreciate my sister in Christ and am so thankful that I was recommended this little gem that is helping me heal. This is also a book that can be highlighted and many things dead over and over for Motivation and affirmations. - Nearly every woman has, or will, experience loneliness and rejection at some point in her life, be it from a relationship, friendship, career, school, etc. Sadly, it's a fact of life and it's an area where many of us have a hard time because we seek answers and sometimes we don't get them. I've had my fair share of loneliness and rejection and, a few years ago, I experienced a devastating end to a friendship. I had no idea why and kept going over and over it in my head, trying to get answers even though my husband kept telling me that I needed to let her go and move on. The thing is, I didn't know how to move on. It seems a lot easier said than done. Over the last several months, I've purchased some Christian inspiration books and Uninvited by Lysa TerKeurst showed up as a recommended purchase. I knew nothing about it but had heard of the author from when I listened to K-LOVE. I was unsure if I wanted to buy this book but I saw it in a local store, paged through it, and liked what I saw so I came home and ordered it right away.
Uninvited is a Christian-based book meant to help women feel loved when they experience loneliness and rejection. It is divided into 16 chapters which include anecdotes from Lysa TerKeurst's life from when she, or someone close to her, felt rejected or unloved. In each chapter she talks about how she handled the situation, be it positive or negative. She references stories and verses from the Bible and applies them to her thinking about how to handle each issue. She also uses her life experiences to enhance her discussions. In addition to the 16 chapters, there is a bonus chapter, Assessment and Corrective Experience Chart (both of which can be printed from the book's website as well), a section on the Scriptures she uses which are organized by chapter, along with main points and ideas she would like us to remember, which are also organized by chapter.
When I set out to read this book, I figured I would read it within a couple days like I usually do. However, after I finished the first couple of chapters on that first day, I realized there is a lot to process in each chapter. A good portion of the book encourages some deep, self-reflection and, for me at least, to read it in a couple days wouldn't have been beneficial. I ended up reading a couple chapters each day and spent some time afterwards thinking about what I'd read so this book took me about a week to read. I enjoyed Lysa TerKeurst's wit and the way she drew me into her writing. I wouldn't say this is a funny ha-ha book and it doesn't necessarily make light on the topics of loneliness and rejection; rather, her personality and writing caused me to snicker once in awhile and that made her that much more relatable. I was actually able to put myself in her shoes more than once and look at the situations in a different, and more positive, light.
If you are considering purchasing this book, please don't buy it thinking it will have all of the answers to your questions and problems. It doesn't say in order to feel loved after this type of situation, you need to do this, and bam, it's fixed. Uninvited is a book that requires some reflection and self-analysis as well as some time to process the readings. Even after spending a week with this book, I still don't feel like I've fully utilized all of the wonderful ideas and thoughts included in this book so I'm glad I purchased it so I can read it several more times. I ended up purchasing the paperback copy and the one thing I wish I would've done from the start is to use my journal while I read it so I could write down some important thoughts and Bible verses that stuck out to me. During my college career, I discovered the most effective way I learn is to write something down and that would've benefited me greatly to do that with this book. If you purchase the edition, you could either highlight and make some notes on your or use a journal and if you purchase the paperback copy, you may want to journal as well. There are important thoughts to remember noted in the back of the book but I prefer to write them down separately and, if you are the same way, I'd recommend grabbing a journal while reading this.
I cannot tell you how grateful and happy I am to have discovered this book. I loved the way Lysa TerKeurst writes and she inserts Bible verses and God to support her points. Obviously I'm not fully healed from some of the pain and rejection I've experienced but this book has helped to start the healing process and encouraged me to open my eyes and see that sometimes those bad experiences can be blessings in disguise. The next time I read this, and it will be soon, I will be grabbing my journal because, for me, that will more effectively help me process some of the thoughts and points made in this book. I highly encourage any woman, young or old, who has ever felt the pain of rejection, to pick up this book. It is beautifully-written, honest, and will leave you feeling more peaceful, loved, and able to enjoy the beautiful lives God has planned for us.
