Just when Glennon Doyle Melton was beginning to feel she had it all figured outâ??three happy children, a doting spouse, and a writing career so successful that her first book catapulted to the top of the New York Times bestseller listâ??her husband revealed his infidelity and she was forced to realize that nothing was as it seemed. A recovering alcoholic and bulimic, Glennon found that rock bottom was a familiar place. In the midst of crisis, she knew to hold on to what she discovered in recovery: that her deepest pain has always held within it an invitation to a richer life. Love Warrior is the story of one marriage, but it is also the story of the healing that is possible for any of us when we refuse to settle for good enough and begin to face pain and love head-on.

Powerful. Personal. Fiercely honest. None of Glennon's pain has been wasted. She has shaped what some might see as disaster it into a story threaded with stars of courage and hope.
I read with pencil in hand and found insight, truth, and bell-like phrases with every turn of the page. Here are a few lines that struck me. (I held back. There's much more!)
"We know we must decide whether to stay small, quiet, and uncomplicated or allow ourselves to grow as big, loud, and complex as we were made to be. Every girl must decide whether to be true to herself or true to the world. Every girl must decide whether to settle for adoration or fight for love."
"Expecting less than true friendship in my most important relationship is so depressing."
"Every time I fling an internal demon onto the blank page, the demon turns out to be much less scary than I thought she was. I am becoming less afraid of myself. ...Truth telling becomes my shame checker and my relief."
"It occurs to me that saving pornography on this computer is like pouring whiskey into Amma's sippy cup."
"We are each responsible for our own sanity."
"The only way to survive is to make no sudden movements, to get comfortable with discomfort, and to find peace without answers."
"Self-betrayal is allowing fear to overrule the still, small voice of truth."
"...Will I be able to trust myself? This is the critical question. So I do the hard thing. I build trust with myself. I want to be the kind of person who will take care of me."
"But the paradox of pain is that it is only universal in retrospect. In the present, it is fiercely personal."
"Our story is the only thing we have that is completely our own."
"My fury is for every woman who's been told by the church that God values her marriage more than he values her soul, her safety, her freedom. My fury is for every woman who has been taught that God is man and man is God. My fury is for every woman who has been told that her bad marriage is the cross upon which she should hang herself."
"I owe nothing to the institution of Christianity -- not my health, not my dignity, not my silence, not my martyrdom. I do not answer to this place, I answer to God..."
"I do know what to do, just never more than one moment at a time."
On the two nights Glennon kept company with me I fell asleep wondering how she's doing and when she and I will meet for a cup of tea. We are definitely friends; we just haven't met yet. ( )
