In a “cancel culture” society, where most feel the sting of rejection, the cold shoulder, the rebuff, or the pain of harsh and harmful words, Jessica Van Roekel’s Reframing Rejection, How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything, is a life line of hope and healing. Flip the script by learning to look at God’s redemptive solutions for living whole and healthy in this broken world.

Jessica wrote Reframing Rejection to equip and empower those who’ve struggled to overcome rejection.

When Jessica faced multiple rejections in her life, she struggled to not let them overwhelm her—until she started viewing rejection, and how to deal with rejection, through a new lens. She’s identified four new lenses to reframe rejection and to break unhealthy cycles, like constant people pleasing or saying you’re sorry over and over. In this spiritual growth self-help book, learn to engage with God through the “Reflect,” “Reframe,” and “Renew” portions of each chapter.

Jessica Van Roekel’s Reframing Rejection will be free and available for download on Amazon for 5 days – January 24, 2023 through Saturday, January 28, 2023. Reframing Rejection is highly rated by those who have purchased and reviewed the book. Here’s what some of the reviewers have said:

5 Stars – Powerful, moving and cathartic

This book leaves me in awe of transformational power of God and His word! We are not powerless. Anyone who wants to stop feeling pushed around by rejection and fear needs to read this book. The author is vulnerable and honest and at the same time empowers you to stand on the truth, while recognizing the lies that rejection breaths into our minds and hearts.

5 Stars – Very Good Book!

I would recommend this book to every woman I know. Most of us as women know the sting of rejection but may have never linked our perfectionism to a need of acceptance and an unspoken shield against rejection. This book is so good and the author is an engaging writer. I had a hard time putting it down. Rejection cripples and this book helps you understand it and turn it around!
