All My Knotted-Up Life: A Memoir

I grew up doing Beth Moore Bible studies, and her passion for God and the Bible was contagious! I am so grateful for how the Lord used her to deepen my understanding of Him and His word. I love a good memoir, so when I found out that she had released one, I wanted to read it!
As I finished it today, I was overwhelmed by the pain and hardship that characterized her whole life, but I was more overwhelmed by how her story shows God’s faithfulness, nearness, and presence in the midst of each hardship. Her love of God and continual desire to follow Him in the midst of each hardship was clear. She openly shared about seasons of wrestling with Him in the midst of hardship, and her steadfastness amidst the wrestling was an encouragement to me. This memoir reminded me that none of us have it all together. None of us has a “rainbows and unicorns” life; this life is filled with struggle and challenges. Beth’s life was not perfect; she makes no bones about that in the book. She makes clear that God is the One who carried her along. I closed the book in worship—-thanking God for His love and care for His children and praying for a continued desire to walk in steadfastness with the Lord in all of life.

What a testimony, though, that her book led you to worship! I am looking forward to digging in.

It was overwhelming to read all that she had been through in her life. One specific thing she shared about her husband—-she had never shared before—EVER. I listened to the audiobook, and she was clearly crying as she read that section. I knew that she was a sexual abuse survivor, but I did not know who the predator was until this book. Also, 😭😭😭. She has been through so much, and she still has an unwavering LOVE of the Lord. That led me to worship. If anyone should look at her life and ask “why, Lord?” and walk away from Him, it could definitely be her. However, she has not; she has walked in faithfulness for decades and that speaks to me of how great our God is! He carries His children in great care, compassion, hope and peace.
Can’t wIt to read this. Thanks for the review Suzanne 😘
The way her church treated her 🙄🙄When I was reading it, it made me so angry the way they tossed her aside.
