Dear Dr. Stride, I wanted to write to tell you how much I appreciated Getting Over What’s Over. It is a compassionate, steady-handed guide that speaks directly to pain without sensationalising it, offering readers clarity, spiritual grounding, and genuine hope rather than easy answers. What struck me most was your emphasis on healing as a process of honesty rather than denial. You invite readers to acknowledge loss, regret, and unresolved hurt while gently redirecting them toward grace, forgiveness, and renewal. The balance you strike between theological insight and practical application makes the book feel accessible and deeply humane, rooted in faith but attentive to lived experience. Your framing of God’s grace as restorative rather than punitive is particularly powerful. The book encourages forward movement without shaming the reader for where they have been, and that pastoral sensitivity gives your message real credibility. Each of the seven secrets feels thoughtfully considered, building a framework that supports reflection, resilience, and spiritual growth. The tone throughout is calm, reassuring, and sincere, creating a sense of companionship rather than instruction. Readers are not told what to feel, but are guided toward understanding what healing can look like when faith is allowed to meet reality honestly.
