Stop Telling Me To Get Over It -

Have you ever been told to “just get over it”?

Or maybe you’ve said it yourself, hoping to help, only to watch someone grow quiet or pull away.

Stop Telling Me to Get Over It is a compassionate and practical guide for Christians who want to respond to emotional pain the way Jesus did: with empathy, not easy answers.

Through Scripture and real-life examples, it reveals how true faith doesn’t ignore suffering. It walks through it with grace, honesty, and the presence of Christ.

Inside, you’ll discover:

What to say (and not say) when someone is hurting
How to avoid common spiritual clichés that cause more harm than healing
Biblical principles for listening, supporting, and walking with others through pain
How to reflect Christ’s compassion and truth in real-life conversations

What Readers Are Saying...

Well thought out, well presented, and filled with biblical truth.

A book that’s both biblically grounded and deeply pastoral. (But not TOO heavy where the average layperson couldn’t digest it.) It speaks to a real need in the body of Christ today.
