Don't Settle for Safe

Embracing the Uncomfortable to Become Unstoppable

By: Sarah Jakes Roberts, Lisa Bevere - introduction

Narrated by: Sisi Johnson

Popular speaker and New York Times bestselling author of Woman Evolve, Sarah Jakes Roberts shows women they are not disqualified by their pain and failures and offers encouragement and strength to believe God’s best is still possible.

Everyone has experiences in their lives that stop them in their tracks and become burdens they carry with them everywhere they go. No one knows this better than Sarah Jakes Roberts.

Pregnant at fourteen, married by nineteen, divorced by twenty-two, and all while under the intense spotlight of being Bishop T.D. Jakes’s daughter, Sarah knows what it is to feel buried by failure and aching pain.

But when her journey brought her to faith’s fork in the road, Sarah found she had to choose between staying in the comfort of the pain she knew or daring to make new wounds and move forward.

Now Sarah shares the numerous life lessons she’s learned along the way with other women also struggling to believe they’re not disqualified by their pain and past mistakes. She delves into topics such as allowing the past to empower the present, choosing to step forward while still being afraid, facing struggles in the midst of community, finding intimacy with God outside of preconceived notions of what it should look like, and learning to focus on others.

In Don’t Settle for Safe, Sarah will help you:

• View your history with positivity
• Demolish destructive patterns
• Connect with true intimacy
• Repurpose your passion into to your purpose
• Realize your true calling

With deeply personal stories of her own, Sarah helps readers find their way to the right perspective and the confidence to walk toward the best God has for them.

Insightful

I would consider myself as a new-ish believer. I have always believed but didn't understand certain aspects of my life and if some of my feelings were and are valid. I officially started my journey about a year ago and making it my mission to find books that would help me along the way as a supplement to the Bible. The author did a very good job at telling her story and she is very relatable. I enjoyed this selection.

This is what every church girl needs to read

Thank you, Sarah Jakes Roberts. Your openness about the doubts, fears and inadequacies that strangles the soul (if we let it) is what we (church girls) need to hear to overcome the pain of the past. This book is a must have! I'm also reading "Wholeness" by your husband, Pastor Toure Roberts. Praises to the Father for both of you!

Great read!

I would recommend this book for anyone desiring a better relationship with themselves, and life. I intend to listen to it again and take notes on the chapters to apply
it to my life.

Excellent

So empowering and inspiring. I learned a lot about myself .. it was a journey listening of pain, joy and wisdom!

Enriching, fulfilling, and left me with a desire for MORE!

This book truly has blessed me. The honesty and precise points made touched my heart. I am left wanting to grow deeper in God and become a better me as a result of it.
