Summary of A New Day

* Can I break free from my eating disorder?
* Why do I struggle with such anxiety?
* Where can I go with my shame and despair?
* Does my life have to be like this?

'I'm controlling and insecure and desperate to prove my own worth,' admits Emma Scrivener, and then goes on, 'I'm a Christian, but I don't always feel like it.'

There are lots of how-to books out there. In terms of the practicalities of recovery, they're brilliant. What they don't address is the spiritual dimension. However, even when writing about 'spiritual recovery', the author confesses that it's tempting to offer some sort of programme or strategy.

'But I don't think I've got one,' she says. What she does offer are practical suggestions for how to apply core gospel truths to practical circumstances.

With honesty and examples from real life (including her own), Emma connects with her reader. She shows how the gospel can speak to every heart and every addiction, equipping readers with confidence in Christ's sufficiency and the power of his Word and Spirit to bring change where change seems impossible.

Press Reviews

Brilliant. Packed with wise thoughts and advice.

- Evangelicals Now

An invaluable resource.

- Inspire Magazine

A remarkable and unique book… Emma has shown great courage yet again in writing about her own pain and brokenness in order to speak into a huge range of personal crises, but she does so with creativity, deep pastoral sensitivity and clear gospel conviction. This is a rare book that can truly speak into the darkness of our pain without any judgements, at the same time as holding out the genuine hope of lasting change.

- Mark Meynell

Emma’s humility, gentleness and confidence in God weave through every page as she encourages fellow strugglers to move from darkness to light.

- Helen Thorne

Emma shares her scars… And if we groan “me too”, then we need to take time not only to see our chains, but also rejoice in the real, grounded, hard-won, tear-stained, Christ-centred answers Emma so wonderfully holds out to us.

- Rico Tice

Shows the ability of the gospel to connect gloriously with raw life, pain and need.
