What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Henry Malone makes us aware of the effects of an emotion we too seldom think about—shame—and how it lies behind more character flaws and behaviors than we have realized. He calls us to be unafraid, thus unashamed, to look at ourselves with candid eyes, to see how often and how much shame has placed colored lenses on our eyes, regarding ourselves and others.” From the foreword by John Loren Sandford, Founder, Elijah House Ministries “Henry Malone’s book, Shame: Identity Thief, is excellent. The enemy does not play fair with our traumas or failures. This book helps you remove a “sticky” covering of shame linked with your past. I highly recommend Shame: Identity Thief for those who are searching for significance.” Chuck D. Pierce, President, Glory of Zion International Ministries “Shame: Identity Thief is a book full of powerful revelation, Biblical insights and knowledge. This book touches the depths of the soul and will be a great help to everyone who has experienced personal shame.” Apostle John P. Kelly, CEO, LEAD; CEO, ICWBF “I'm grateful that someone has finally exposed the SHAME BASED LIFE that so many people have lived since childhood. Now thousands will experience new freedom through this book.” Dale Gentry, Breakout Prayer Network, Fort Worth, Texas “This well-named book is a thorough treatise on the causes, characteristics and cure of shame. Henry Malone uses pertinent illustrations in a presentation laced with relevant Scriptures in identifying and dealing with shame as the thief that has stolen many souls.” Jack Taylor, President, Dimensions Ministries, Melbourne, Florida “Shame: Identity Thief is a well written, easy to read, practical book that initially made me think of all the people I knew who should read it. Then I realized I was looking in the mirror. Dr. Malone has provided encouragement and help to recognize and face the issue head on. Tom R. Hawkins, Ph.D. Restoration in Christ Ministries “There is 'a toxic poison' that's destroying some of our most important relationships and will ultimately prevent us from reaching our kingdom potential. My friend Henry Malone identifies this poison and provides us with 'the divine antidote' in this important new book.” Eddie Smith, www.TeachMeToPray.com
