Read by the author.

New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst shows you what to do with your skepticism and distrust so you can heal from past betrayals and move forward with strength and resilience.

Trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But it's also what trips you up after you've been burned. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A leader or organization you respect turns out to be different than they portray themselves to be. A spouse cheats on you. A family member betrays you. You're exhausted by other people's choices and starting to question your own discernment. And you're wondering, If God let this happen, can he even be trusted?

How can you live well and step into the future when you keep stumbling over trust issues? Lysa TerKeurst says it's not simply about finding better people to walk with. It's about developing the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don't become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship. In I Want to Trust You, But I Don't, Lysa shows you how to

• identify which of the eleven relational red flags are stirring up distrust, so you can pinpoint why you're feeling uneasy;
• stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you by asking crucial "what if" questions to better process your doubts;
• recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust; and
• understand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the betrayals you've experienced and start healing from the inside out.

In a world where so many things feel alarming, this book will give you a peace that isn't dependent on unpredictable people, circumstances, and experiences. Instead, it offers practical and biblical ways to make real progress toward healthier perspectives, relationships, and a future you can authentically look forward to.

The emotionally relatable

I love how emotionally open this is and I felt like Lysa was speaking directly to me. The words are consoling and inspiring. I listen in two days and I will be doing it again. There is so much to learn from this book.

the authenticity

i dont want to reveal any spoilers, so all i will say is, if you are seeking a Christian book where the author is vulnerable and relatable. this is it.

I love that lysa narrates it!

it's such a great book!
very helpful!
and it's great that lysa narrated it herself!

Need to hear all this!

Wow- I felt like she was speaking to me. I felt like she was talking directly to me about life. Very well written

I understand this story

Regardless of the past pain I’m glad that I can move forward. I recommend this book for anyone that has a broken heart from relational distrust.

I’m glad am choosing to see the world in a way that allows me to grow.

Thank you!

Honest and Biblical

Love her well thought out communications and biblical world view with the emotional intelligence God gave us

I don't trust you and I shouldn't

I loved it. she speaks with a lot of wisdom and there's a maturity that you don't see often enough with so much experience and being in the ministry, myself, you learn there is people that you don't let have access to you, and it's not because you don't love them. there's a recklessness thats being removed slowly from ministry, people learning and exercising boundaries that i love. promoting healthy christianity. this is that book

Hurt, Trust, and a Way Forward

The author writes from personal experience and study she has done about trust. In her life she was hurt by her husband, by an organization, and by individuals. She shares how she dealt with the pain and the way forward, which she is still in. She narrates well and with emotion since it’s her story.

It was helpful

It was helpful because she was honest enough to share. I was relieved that I wasn't alone!

I am now in a small group with Lysa's other book, how to forgive what you can't forget.

The perfect book for this season of my life

Man oh man. I had to pause…cry… pause…write and I just want to say thank you for this work of love. My soul needed this. I can’t wait to pass it on to my mentee. Thank you thank you thank you
