Book Overview

Life doesn't have to feel this heavy.

In The Burdens We Carry, Christine Wood invites you on a soul-deep journey to uncover the expectations and pressures you were never meant to carry. With honesty, gentle wisdom, and spiritual depth, Christine helps you:

If you are feeling the weight of a life that's become too heavy, too busy, too stressful, or simply too much, get ready to lay your burdens down. Together we'll look one by one at the expectations that weigh on us-from the world, the church, and even those we put on ourselves. We will explore the truth of what Scripture teaches us about each of these burdens, and look at simple, practical strategies to live the free and unburdened life that Jesus calls us to.

With wisdom and warmth, Christine points us back to the gentle heart of Jesus and the real rest our souls crave. This book isn't just good - it's healing."
