In I Tried Until I Almost
Died, Sandra McCollom explored her journey with struggling with trying to be
perfect, she obsessed over eating healthy, and she believed her household must
follow all of the right rules. She eventually received a revelation from God on
January 2, 2012 and she realized that God loves her because of who she is and
His love doesn’t change even when she falls short. She also discovered that
Jesus was never hurried, afraid, or stressed out. She began to dig more deeply
into God’s Word and she studied about the power of grace and living free from guilty
about not being perfect. Throughout the book, she shared tons of scriptures
that helped to set her free from condemnation and she revealed personal stories
about how God changed her life around.
I would recommend this amazing eye opening book to anyone
who is struggling with perfection and feeling guilty because of your mistakes
and flaws. This book taught me what the scriptures declare about receiving
grace for our countless failures. I especially liked how Sandra McCollom shared
stories from own life about how she overcame her addiction to perfection and
how God helped her to break free. I immensely enjoyed how many scriptures verses
she included throughout the book. I learned about my righteousness found solely
in Christ and my true identity and this is something I need to be reminded of
every single day. I also loved how the book contained a special section
entitled, “God’s Promises to Live By” and she shared powerful scripture verses and
she explained what it meant. If you’re seeking an encouraging book about
finding freedom from feeling like you have to be perfect for God to love you,
then read this book!
