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.

One of the greatest Holy Ghost help , self help Books couldn't do what this book did.

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

One of the greatest read. I cried in almost every chapter I had to stop digest, regress in order to move forward to progress in my new place of peace, learning and unlearning. Processing differently a renewed mind. This book opened up some stuff, killed some stuff, confirmed some stuff man this is Holy Ghost help book. #nomoreselfhelp #ihadagoodpurge. I wanted to finish this book quickly but I couldn't it requires me to take my times plus the things that it revealed about me I needed time to process. I felt as if I could write my own book for each chapter. AWESOME

But God...

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

I believe that this book will make a lot of women young and season forgive themselves. We make mistakes in life. But we don't forgive ourselves nor do we think that we can get back up from our mistakes and past. But God.... He forgave us long ago. We have to be willing to love ourselves and give ourselves a chance to regroup and examine ourselves. Before we can understand God loves us no matter what!
I rate this book base on the truth about who Sarah is and she put it all out there. Letting us know that we all go through the same situation no matter who you are and where we come from.

Shout out to a true woman of God,

Incredible, real read!

This book is what every young, seasoned and in-between woman should read if she truly wants to confront her hurts, pains, mistakes and GROW from them. This book allows one to purposely allow God to be the head of your life. It is a graceful, raw truth of what so many of us have experienced. Allow it to help you on your journey to a God-centered life full of self love.

Wow this book is powerful & life changing

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2021

This book can be life-changing for many. It has really helped assist me with confirmation and my emotional healing journey. Mentally and spiritually helped me. Even if you're not a Christian, you can get a lot from this. Just know what to eat and what to throw away. This book is definitely worth it. I look forward to reading it again. I'm almost done with it.I read it out of order LOL. I wish the audiobook was in her voice. This young lady is wise beyond her years
I've been listening to her father for over two decades who is also powerful Bishop TD Jakes. I thank God for both of them. I can relate to a lot of Sarah's testimony like a teen Mom, divorce etc. Although she's younger than me she's teaching me. Thanks Sarah for being so transparent open and vulnerable. You're an inspiration. I'm so proud of you. This is one of my new favorite books.

Sarah!!

I bought this book after discovering this beautiful woman of God by happenstance.

Let me start by saying l am a Christian woman who prays everyday. But l am human and as we all do, l get caught up in the world of stress and anxiety and overwhelm. I was drowning and when l found myself asking my friends to pray for me because l felt disconnected from God, I found Sarah by His Grace as l was struggling to keep my heart and head above some pretty heavy storms. I came across one of her sermons on YouTube when l was searching for something...anything to help me find direction or even a moment of peace. I just didn't know what that something was until l found myself captivated by her message. My heart opened up and l could hear the voice and guidance of my God again! I sought out more of her sermons and made them a part of every day and she helped me find my courage and strength again. She helped me find my shine and my soul and more importantly, helped me find my way back to my Savior l was desperately missing and needing because l was blinded and deaf due to fear and uncertainty. I was alive but l wasn't living until my heart opened up again and l thank Sarah for her compassion and profound messages!

I was gifted with a KJV bible many years ago written by her dad, Bishop TD Jakes -Woman Thou are Loosed and l love it! Between the two of them, their sermons and testimonies and the powerful way they deliver the word of God...l am strong and have found my way back to me and my Father.

I am still reading this book and can absolutely without hesitation recommend it highly! ♥️

Great Main Points, Lacking Depth

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2017

Verified Purchase

Imagine the kind of outline you used to make for a term paper in High School. Imagine that the main headings are A+ material, the sub-headings are A- minus material, and when you get down to the details, the quality drops off to C+.
This book is just like that.
The author has a strong personal story, and the main themes of the book - that good things usually come from risk taking, that "playing it safe" has its own dangers, and we should not allow setbacks to make us overly risk-averse - are totally valid and need to be said. I was a bit disappointed at the (lack of) depth however. Instead of a great principle, deeper explanation of the principle, multiple examples of the principle in action, and suggestions/plans for applying the principle, the reader gets a great principle followed up by cheerleading, slogans, and other relative superficialities.
Overall not a bad book, and it's based on some outstanding insights. I fully expect this author's next book to be better.

It took me a while to read the book after I’ve purchased it, but if you are in a place in your life where your lost, confused, finding yourself, self care journey, or even fresh out of a toxic relationship this is the book for you. I am starting to understand my purpose and get to the root off all the problems that have cause trauma in my life which has affected me in the day and age now step by step. I read a chapter per day, or I’ll read 30 minutes a day. Highly recommend.

I haven’t finished reading this yet, but this book is sooooo good. I’m a big fan of Sarah Jakes Roberts, being a writer myself I connect with her writing style. I read lost and found and I can honestly say that that was good but this is even better! The wisdom she has is awesome and she is so skilled at writing that I literally cried whilst reading certain chapters. It’s made me see my worth and value. This book has broken chains in me and given me insight. Allowed me to be more transparent and healed my heart. I love you Sarah, I’m grateful for your life, ministry and your gift.

Incredibly well written, learning to embrace your insecurities and vulnerabilities in order to cross over to where God ordained for you is a powerful lesson l picked up from this book. Not allowing the fear of insecurities to hold me down from releasing the great potential in me and knowing that all that l am destined to be is already inbuilt in me. Unleash the unstoppable power that lies within me.
