Downside Up by Tracey Mitchell

This exceptional book on benefitting from rejection is a game changer. The author hands you numerous tools to take the sting out of what is for almost everyone a painful experience, helping you see rejection objectively and equipping you to unhook from those who aim to destroy you through the use of the forceful impact of their negative opinion. In a well-written book, the author effectively ties her nuggets of truth in chapter after chapter to the Bible, giving appropriate illustrations and examples of overcoming rejection, and each chapter concludes with its germane points. Tracey Mitchell also has a way with words in that she can be pointed and concise without being too blunt. She gives you much to take away. One caution I would give: do not attempt to read this book in a few sittings if rejection is more than an intellectual topic to you, because you will need time and space to digest the important topics addressed. I received this book for free in exchange for my unbiased review through the Thomas Nelson BookSneeze Program.
