Discover God's grace and power to conquer regret, shame, and every struggle that comes your way with 90 days of encouragement from Real Talk Kim.

Pain and regret tell you that you can't move forward in life. The truth is, you're only stuck if you stop moving--and Unstuck is the book you need to keep moving. In Unstuck life coach and pastor Real Talk Kim reminds you that staying stuck takes as much energy as moving forward. So why not move forward?

The Bible verses, prayers, and insights in Unstuck take you on a 90-day journey so you can:

• let God's truths replace destructive thoughts,
• prepare your soul for a new beginning,
• have eyes to see God's redemptive plan in your life,
• find inspiration in the stories of others, and
• get up one more time than you fall down.

Unstuck is your next step forward if you are:

• looking for help recovering from a misstep in life,
• going through hard times, or
• a new Christian looking for how to grow in your faith after accepting Jesus.

Packed with hope, inspiration, and Real Talk Kim's pithy wisdom, Unstuck gives you the daily dose of encouragement you need to take one more step toward the incredible future God has for you. Today is when you start moving forward!

I can relate to much of what RTK (Real Talk Kim) says in her devotional book, Unstuck. I can relate to losing my dad, I can relate to my mom being more than willing to serve as my dad’s caretaker toward the end of his life, and I can relate to a lot of what she went through to get where she is. Even though my experiences and hers aren’t the same. (I have never been married, don’t have kids, but have found myself in a place of being jobless, homeless, and living with others.)

In Unstuck, RTK doesn’t just tell us how to get our selves “unstuck” from our spiritual ruts, she shows us. She gives examples of when she was stuck in a rut or stuck in bad behavior and then tells us how she got herself out of it. Which she then suggests we try the same or something similar. She doesn’t just say “do this and you’ll be fine” or “you’re stuck because you’re lacking in this area” without showing that she knows because she’s been there too. She shows you she’s been there too.

I took the full 90 days to read through this devotional because I wanted to get the full, proper effect of the book. I’m so glad I did. And I plan to re-read this book so I can take full advantage of all it has to offer. This is a five-star devotional and I can’t wait to dive into the other book by RTK that I have waiting in my queue (You Gotta Get Up).
