I Want to Trust You, but I Don't: Moving Forward When You’re Skeptical of Others, Afraid of What God Will Allow, and Doubtful of Your Own Discernment

I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t is an excellent and deeply impactful read. Lysa TerKeurst masterfully walks through the complexities of trust—when it’s broken, when it’s rebuilt, and when it’s best to walk away. What I loved most is how she continually points the reader back to the Lord at every turn, offering biblical wisdom and personal insights that resonate deeply. This book has not only encouraged me but has also excited me to dive into her other works, Forgiving What I Can’t Forget and Good Boundaries and Goodbyes. I’ve been sharing it with friends, family, and anyone who will listen because it’s just that powerful. If you’re looking for a book that blends truth, grace, and healing, this is a must-read!

Very helpful and encouraging.

Thank you. Perfect Condition. I have not read it just yet, but I have no doubt that this book will be a blessing. I felt led so I purchased this book to be a blessing to God's kingdom AND to add to my library in order to either bless someone else or to read myself; however God leads. However, I am confident that I or whomever reads it, will not be disappointed.

I have been dealing with heartache and having my trust broken by several people. This book helped me realize how to move forward with God’s help. It encouraged me to move beyond the lies. Be strong and faithful! Look to God for courage. Really great book!

If you are looking for Christian guidance and practical advice for the ugly parts of life that people don't really talk about, I highly recommend a good Lysa book 🥹 her books have found me following separation from my soon to be ex husband and have brought me great comfort that I'm not sure other Christian books could have. The way she presents concepts in a non judgy non pushy way makes it easy to soak up truth.

Life is full of moments that take your breath away, and the shocking gut punch that comes when someone breaks your trust seems to be a blow that knocks you off your feet and threatens to keep you down. Lysa does a wonderful job empathizing with that moment and providing guidance to the one we can trust fully in those moments to develop what we need to be able to stand back up and move forward with the strength and hope needed to allow ourselves to, "have life and have it more abundantly" (John 10:10, The Bible, NIV)

Lysa did it again! I preordered this book during a time I was wrestling with trust issues with God surrounding infertility. Little did I know, in-between the time I preordered and the time the book was released, I’d walk through a very similar experience as Lysa in my own marriage. This book put words to the feelings in my heart and soul. Lysa is always able to so beautifully articulate exactly what I’m feeling. I’m so grateful for this book and the tools within it. It’s already made an impact on my life, and I imagine I will keep returning to my highlights and bookmarked pages when I need a reminder or dose of inspiration. Grateful for Lysa’s vulnerability and heart shared throughout these pages.

I loved this religious spin on handling trust issues and trusting god and yourself. I read it in one sitting and it made me feel good.
