Why Your Weirdness Is Wonderful: Embrace Your Quirks and Live Your Strengths

It’s in our weirdness that God’s perfection exists. What if who you are right now is exactly who God meant for you to be? What if the weirdest, most annoying things about you exist on purpose—for a purpose—to bring life, joy, strength, and healing to this world? Author and certified life coach Laurie Wallin wants us to stop fighting ourselves and start following God. And the first step, she says, is to embrace our weirdness. In short, dynamic chapters, Wallin helps you move past obstacles by learning to see your “stumbling blocks” as strengths. She will show you how your weirdness enables you to love God uniquely and to love others more effectively. As you work to discover why your weirdness is wonderful, you will learn more about yourself and about God and about how deeply he loves you—quirks and all. Laurie Wallin, a Christian speaker and certified life coach, uses humor, encouragement, and support to help women thrive despite intense challenges. Over the past several years, she’s used her background as a teacher and researcher to help hundreds of clients worldwide regain joy and confidence by letting go of energy drainers and using their God-inspired strengths. Laurie makes her home in San Diego, California. “Laurie is an encourager of the heart. She knows what women need to hear and says it in a way that makes receiving her words a joy. Let her come alongside you through these pages and walk with you where Jesus wants you to go!” —Holley Gerth, author of the best-selling book You’re Made for A God-Sized Dream "Like wearing clothing that belongs to someone else is how we must look when we don’t embrace the strengths and weaknesses God has given us. Laurie asks all the right questions as a great conversationalist and teacher to guide us on the journey to relationship with God, as we discover our own personal treasures and realize: 'The Lord will accomplish what concerns me' (Ps. 138:8)! Expect to be energized and excited as you begin to exhibit the wonderful ways God made you to be!" —Cindi Ferrini, national speaker with FamilyLife, author of Balancing the Active Life
