4.9/5 (17405 ratings)

Description:In Taking off the Mask, Claire Musters begins with her own story - the mask she wore, and the traumatic event of her own ‘unmasking’. This is a book that begins from a place of vulnerability, and that is the only way it can begin - as the whole theme is about learning to be ourselves without our ‘masks’, whatever they may be, especially in a church context.As well as sharing her personal experience, Musters reflects on why we don these masks in the first place, examining upbringing, personality types and cultural expectations to name a few - a part of the book I found particularly interesting as I am always fascinated by the reasons for things! She then moves the reader into the third and final part of the book - how we migh ‘remove’ our masks. She emphasises God’s gentle work in our lives and admits that, although her own unmasking was dramatic and life-shaking, this was made necessary when she did not heed God’s gentle nudges previous to that event. God delayers us, she suggests, removing each layer with kindness and love, until we can experience life as we really are, without relying on our masks. She advocates wisdom, too - not just letting it all hang out with everyone, indiscriminately, but recognising those with whom we can be completely honest, and nurturing those friendships.A vulnerable and a valuable book. The author has an informal, chatty style - it is almost like sitting next to her, hearing her talk - and as such, the challenge within its pages feels non-threatening. She, too, is gentle in suggesting how we might remove our masks. Her strong faith in a loving God shines through.There is much to ponder here, if we are prepared to listen and to apply it to our lives.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
