About the Book
Book: Long Live Love: Walking Out Freedom From Painful Generational Patterns
Author: Rena Roberts
Genre: Spiritual Memoir
Release Date: May 6, 2023
While utterly broken and at the end of herself, Rena Roberts broke free from spiritual bondage…and you can too.
In real life, victory over destructive generational patterns is rare. Psychologists have studied pathological family patterns for decades, trying to discover why they persist but to no avail. Part memoir, part psychological education and application, and part Christian living, Long Live Love is an invitation and opportunity for self-reflection and healing from family-of-origin issues.
Rena Roberts grew up in a profoundly dysfunctional home and set out to create a healthy, loving Christian family of her own. But when her daughter began to rebel in her late teens, Rena found herself stripped of her faith and everything she counted on from God. It was then that He began to radically transform her as she surrendered to His will and word, no matter what.
Rena’s approach to overcoming deep bondage and spiritual darkness will embolden others to go after freedom recklessly and bring the power of God’s supernatural love to their family line. This journey of freedom from generational jail is told in three sections: Longing, Living, and Loving. Each chapter ends with spiritual growth and reflection questions to examine the longings we have throughout our lives, how we try to live differently from our family of origin, and how we can truly love those we never thought we could.

I wouldn’t say there’s anything fun about my book. It’s intense and raw and very real. It has been super fun to receive feedback from readers! They love it. They are inspired by it. They all thank me for writing such a vulnerable book. They love the reflections questions..I think my chapters on forgiveness are most inspiring to my readers and
some have applied the practices I encourage and report to me that it has been life changing, saved their marriages, etc. That’s super fun!
I also realized that I love to write and that I am a writer. I did not know that prior to this project. I hope you enjoy it. I look forward to your thoughts.

My Review
Long Live Love: Walking Out Freedom from Painful Generational Patterns is a wonderful book to read from Rena Roberts. I admire her bravery in telling her story. I related to it so much and am grateful to seeing her how she was able to overcome her past. I was inspired and it is a beautiful reminder why I should embrace the faith during difficult times.
Long Live Love: Walking Out Freedom from Painful Generational Patterns will be getting five plus stars from me. Readers who need inspiration on finding a way to escape toxicity and dysfunction in their lives and seeking more of a relationship with God.
I received a paperback copy of Rena Roberts’ Long Live Love: Walking Out Freedom from Painful Generational Patterns from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
I am really excited to check this book out.
