Harness Your Pain to Propel Your Purpose

Publisher's summary

Read by the author.

Greatness and mediocrity are separated by one thing--how you respond to rejection.

People who crumble beneath the weight of rejection never realize their full potential, but people who learn to use rejection as a catalyst experience fulfillment in their lives.

Nona Jones has experienced her fair share of rejection. Some of her earliest memories are of her mother's rejection, and those feelings persisted throughout her schooling, her career, and her infertility journey. Things that seemed to come easily to others seemed unavailable to Nona--but what could have taken her down the path of failure actually brought her to her greatest achievements.

The secret? Seeing rejection as the gift that it is.

The perfect follow-up to her previous book, Killing Comparison, The Gift of Rejection is a practical guide offering a new, unconventional framework for rejection; instead of being a pain to heal, it becomes a teacher to learn from. Nona shares insightful research, practical steps, and powerful stories from her own life as well as the lives of Bible characters and modern-day trailblazers to help you:

• Identify the root of rejection and how it's manifesting in your life
• Pinpoint when the pain of rejection is triggering you and counter it with truth
• Respond to rejection with resilience and resolve rather than fear and defeat
• Anchor your identity in who God is calling you to be

Rejection is a gift that can help you build resilience, character, and success. The Gift of Rejection will teach you how.

This book is for everyone!

If you’ve ever been rejected by a person or a job, you need this book!
Nona’s story is so relatable and she shares many different examples of rejection that happens often in our lives.
I read the whole book in one day. I couldn’t put it down! She had me in tears as it stirred up my past rejections that I’ve been holding onto. I feel equipped to start using her OPEN strategy to evaluate them one by one.
God placed Nona on my heart at the perfect time. I saw her on the Bible App yesterday and read her 5 day devotional in one sitting. Then I quickly pre-ordered her book that released today. God knew I needed this message and he cleared my busy schedule so that I could read what He needed me to hear.
Thank you Nona for being so vulnerable and sharing your story! God bless you!

Beautiful Mixture

The book is relatable while at the same time educational. There is a beautiful mixture of scripture and psychological analysis in the book.

The story.

The story and the advice is so spot on and captivating. I wish I could put into words what this book is doing for me. This book is going to bring so many people healing in all areas of their lives. I’m currently listening for the second time. I’m so grateful God used Nona to share this wisdoms. Well done.

The content of the story was phenomenal

I could relate and feel what she went through in her life as a child being rejected by family and friends.

Absolutely amazing

Words fail to express the absolute value of this amazing work of God! Thank you Nona, for letting Him use you and your life story to impact so many other lives

Must listen to!!!!

I absolutely loved this book, it really helped me in my journey to healing!!! If you suffered or are suffering from rejection this is the book to listen to!!! Thank you so much Nona Jones for your YES!!!!

Nona's personal experiences were relatable.

I appreciate Nona's vulnerability in sharing her story. Her story and focus questions were very useful in reflecting in my own journey to healing. Thank you Nova.

Helpful

It was not until I watched an interview with Nona Jones that it hit me, I too was struggling with rejection, which was the root of relationship issues I encountered. After diving into her other YT videos and this book, I have a better understanding of the concept and better equipped to navigate using the OPEN framework.

My one recommendation for audibooks is to slow down reciting the scriptures and questions.tendsse parts she tends to speed up to get the following points. Otherwise, the content and delivery are good.

Thanks for this tool. Thanks for sharing your story.

Honesty

This book told a wonderful honest story of how to courageously navigate through rejection personally and in the business world and come out better.

Powerful!

If you're feeling alone, vulnerable and lost. This is a must read! You're not alone, trust in god.
