Rose Marie has done a wonderful job of weaving Biblical truths about personal grace and forgiveness with vulnernably told stories from her own life. If you live like an orphan when the King Himself is your Father, this book is for you. She helps the reader understand how we choose to live as rejected people, judged people, miserable people, complaining people, life's victims. She goes on to teach the loving grace and forgiveness of God. She also addresses those situations that are beyond our control, and how to accept and pray for others who hurt us. Its a whole new perspective for the person trained in leaglism. It added balance to my life in the form of personal grace that spills over to others, and has helped bring me closer to my loving Father,God.

This book is absolutely amazing. God truly speaks through her writing! If you are a woman who struggles with feeling like she doesn't "measure up," hates being "out of control," read this book! There is GRACE for God's children and there is acceptance in HIM! He loves us and is with us at ALL times!

As a Christian who struggled with legalistic Christianity, the Lord used this book to open my eyes up to His saving G R A C E. I realized through this book that I can't do anything on my own and that even Christians try to live the Christian life without Christ. The Lord used this book to help me see that I don't need to live the Christian life by rules, laws, and regulations. Just by His grace. And when I come under His grace, everything else follows.

I don't think there is a woman alive who would not be touched by this book. Rose Marie's struggles resonate with most women. We have given this book to many of our friends and they all have been encouraged.

From Fear to Freedom is one very brave womans story of her life. She lets you in on a decade of her struggles and realizations. She is found by a gracious God who shows her that she can live like his daughter, knowing that he loves her and will rescue her. His love sets her FREE and reading this book has brought me to a place where I have been set free as well. Free from sin, free from guilt, free from feeling sorry for myself and free to love and be loved. I was amazed at every turn as I felt like she was reading my thoughts. READ THIS BOOK and reread it and give it to a friend and study it and have coffe with them and talk about it - it will change you. If you've ever felt "trapped" this book will show you the only true escape - UP!

This is the kind of book that is hard to put down once you start reading it. Rose Marie's honesty and openness about God's work of grace in her life makes the book so helpful and encouraging to others who are struggling with self-righteousness. She shares her doubts and her struggles with her husband and children and how Jesus Christ patiently led her through those years and brought hope and peace to her heart and her marriage and family. She explains how understanding what it means to be righteous in God's sight and living in God's light and by the power of the cross brought her to a place where she no longer felt like an orphan but a very loved child of God. I would highly recommend this book. I have given it away as gifts to some in my family and have been told that they, too, were helped by it and have given it to others.

This book was recommended to me by a dear pastor. It was a gem. I came away from this book with a greater view of my place in the Kingdom of God. I would recommend this book to Christians whether they are new in the Kingdom or have been Christians for decades. This book can give you a view of the Lord that in the daily grind is lost or put aside. It has blessed my walk with Christ greatly.

A most excellent book. A quick, easy read that you will want to slow down and savor when you read it again & again.

This simple book profoundly changed my life and my walk with Christ more than a decade ago. I'm here today to order yet another copy to give away, probably for the 20th time. If you struggle with fear, insecurity, judgment or pride, and you feel like the Christian life you've always led and been taught isn't "working for you," I can't recommend From Fear to Freedom highly enough.

From Fear to Freedom is an account of one woman's realization over many years of how she was living in a way that contradicted what she thought she believed about God and the world. I had a hard time connecting to this book in some ways, but I think it may be a good thing. The message that was so life changing for Rose Marie, her paradigm shift from an orphan to a daughter mentality, is one that I have been taught well for many years, due in part to her family's influence.

I'd recommend this book to someone coming out of a more legalistic tradition, or that struggles to believe that they are loved by God. (6/10)
