Publisher's summary

Popular speaker and New York Times best-selling author of Woman Evolve, Sarah Jakes Roberts shows women they are not disqualified by their pain and failures and offers encouragement and strength to believe God’s best is still possible.

Everyone has experiences in their lives that stop them in their tracks and become burdens they carry with them everywhere they go. No one knows this better than Sarah Jakes Roberts.

Pregnant at fourteen, married by nineteen, divorced by twenty-two, and all while under the intense spotlight of being Bishop T.D. Jakes’s daughter, Sarah knows what it is to feel buried by failure and aching pain.

But when her journey brought her to faith’s fork in the road, Sarah found she had to choose between staying in the comfort of the pain she knew or daring to make new wounds and move forward.

Now Sarah shares the numerous life lessons she’s learned along the way with other women also struggling to believe they’re not disqualified by their pain and past mistakes. She delves into topics such as allowing the past to empower the present, choosing to step forward while still being afraid, facing struggles in the midst of community, finding intimacy with God outside of preconceived notions of what it should look like, and learning to focus on others.

In Don’t Settle for Safe, Sarah will help you:

  • View your history with positivity
  • Demolish destructive patterns
  • Connect with true intimacy
  • Repurpose your passion into to your purpose
  • Realize your true calling

With deeply personal stories of her own, Sarah helps listeners find their way to the right perspective and the confidence to walk toward the best God has for them.

Really amazing

I knew this book would have personal challenges in it but I didn’t know it would resonate with me so much. I was emotional, inspired, convicted and learned so much in this book. I will definitely read many more times. At this season in my life this book is such a blessing and so relevant!!! I look forward to her next book. I’ve been so blessed by her and her husband’s ministry while I’m way over in New York City. Thank you Sarah!

Another inspired moment

I really enjoyed this book. it's real, it's honest and it's soul searching. I fab it 4 stars mainly because I felt like there was much more that could have been said or shared. I was left wanting so much more . Looking forward for the next book.

The narrator/reader was awesome.

Amazing

This book was amazing. I got tired of writing so many notes that I just did myself a favor and ordered a hard cover book also. If you’re ready to get out of your comfort zone this book will definitely to it. this book took the longest to get through (because I would go back and re- listen as I applied it to my life) but I’m so glad I got it.

Great book! It’s what’s up!

She’s keeping it 100! The book is real talk. If it could sum it up in a few words it would be “to thine own self be true.”

Amazing and Beyond

I've never read any of Sarah's books until today. I Loved it so, that I finished it the same day. Of many books, I would say THIS ONE was a blessing to read .

Be brave, trust God and take Action

I loved it!
Exhilarating, packed with ups and downs. I saw glimpses of my past and how to be mindful to intentionally stop repeating stifling habits...stop allowing codependency to rob me of my voice and limitless life. Thank you for discovering, reclaiming and delivering your voice to mankind!

Amazing Insight

The insight and wisdom Sarah has in this book is incredible. I relate so much and felt as though she spoke the majority of this book, just for me and could read my mind. Substantially empowering and engaging, with a sweet note of grace throughout, I recommend this to anyone with a dream or feeling as thought they aren’t where they should be.
