Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Forgiveness is essentially something we do for ourselves, regardless of whether the perpetrator shows any contrition. It is counterproductive to tell someone that you are forgiving them, as they may not even be aware that they have upset you. #2 Forgiveness is extremely difficult, and very few people ever manage to achieve it. Self-forgiveness is even more difficult, as we must balance two opposite and contradictory energies: the desire to forgive and the need to condemn. #3 We are not a single self, but a community of selves that constantly argue with each other. The internal conflict going on inside our heads is likely to be overwhelming. #4 The three characters that make up the committee that runs our lives are the resident judge, the critical parent, and the inner lover. They all have their own agendas, but they can help us understand who we are and what we need.

When a woman questioning her marriage encounters the kind and steadfast pastor of her small town, they are both forced to reconsider their pasts, their faith, and their future Robert Glory has never quite felt as though he fit in the small town of Esau, Michigan, but he finds solace in his role as the pastor of Esau Baptist and in his spare, orderly routine. When Susan Shearer arrives at his church seeking the strength to stay true to her increasingly volatile husband, neither expect that their immediate connection will upend both of their lives. As their relationship deepens and Susan’s life at home becomes more unstable, Robert and Susan are forced to confront the wounds that have shaped them and discover if they still have the power to change. Told from five different perspectives—including Susan’s husband, Randy, her brilliant but high-strung young daughter, Willa, and Robert’s long-estranged mother, Leotie—Out of Esau is a visceral look at the dynamics of an abusive marriage, a nuanced portrait of faith and its loss, and a sweeping story of redemption.
