I’M SUCH A MESSTERPIECE

Shattering Stigmas, (Re)Framing Our Fears, and Finding Ourselves Fully Loved

Life is not without suffering, but suffering is not without hope.

Have you ever felt the tension of loving Jesus while living with anxiety, depression, trauma, or chronic illness? If so, you’re in the right place, and you’re not alone.
God tells us in His Word that we are chosen, beloved, and divinely crafted to do good works. But fear can send us into a shame spiral where we feel like too much, not enough, and beyond repair. So how do we grab hold of the freedom Jesus offers us when we feel like a prisoner in our own body?

In I’m Such a Messterpiece, Andrea M. Nyberg shares her struggles in hopes of bringing awareness and solidarity to others who are facing a crisis of faith, identity, and mental health. With tools from her time in therapy and insight from Scripture, Andrea invites us into the deep work of being renewed, restored, and rebuilt—just as it says in Isaiah 61.

This book is an invitation to (re)frame the fears that hold us captive by considering that pain and hope can hold hands, a mess can still be a masterpiece, and the God who created us will be with us, will strengthen us, and will love us no matter what.

Birthed from her own journey, Andrea offers solidarity in the struggles, prayers for the battle, and tangible tools to (re)frame our mindset. Even in the middle of the mess.

A must read! Andrea keeps it raw and real as she takes us through the real-life issues of mental health. Her beautiful story of redemption points us to hope. She encourages us to be honest about our struggles and reminds us that Jesus will love us no matter what.

Andrea Nyberg skillfully draws her reader into her story of a life that is hard and sometimes messy. Like a warm blanket for those caught in the cold reality of their own mess, Andrea’s words bring hope. As someone who has struggled with the shame of depression as a Christian, I think this book is invaluable.

The church has long encouraged the integration of our emotional and physical health, even in the midst of sickness and suffering, alongside our spiritual health as a means for flourishing. However, we’ve not often taken this same view of mental health. In fact, we’ve often pushed mental health to the side or largely ignored it. That is why I’m Such A Messterpiece is such a welcome book, because it walks us through how to integrate our mental health alongside our emotional, physical, and spiritual health so that we can flourish as followers of Jesus without having to leave any part of us behind or neglected. I believe Andrea’s offering will serve the church well for years to come!

Dealing with mental struggles in a Christian context has often been restrictive and can be more weighty than helpful. Andrea graciously invites the reader into her struggles with anxiety and depression as well as everyday mental battles in a way that breaks down the isolating shame these feelings bring. Then she gives many tools, along with reminders of Godly truths, to help silence the lies. Read this book as fast or slow as you’d like, but be sure to slowly, reflectively, work through the applications she gives.
