Hidden: Why Secrets Hold You Back and Launch You Forward
Kris Loewen has secrets. And you have secrets. Some of them threaten to destroy us. Others hold the promise of connecting us. Hidden paints a compelling picture explaining why. As a pastor of 15 years, a survivor of morbid obesity, and a recovering fundamentalist Christian, Kris personally identifies with the heavy toll self-concealment imposes. Having experienced the traumatic death of his brother in a house fire as a teenager, suffered through his parents' divorces, and being victimized under layers of household dysfunction, he learned to cope with life, in part, by keeping secrets. Kris has come to believe that that secrecy plays a more prominent role in all of our lives than we usually care to admit. He has witnessed time and time again how self-concealment is an oft-felt but seldom explored force in the process of spiritual maturation. The path to attaining the best version of ourselves travels through the valley of darkness. "Hidden" provides a compelling framework for where to put the things we hide, how to understand them, and when to expose them.
