Do you struggle with anger, fear, anxiety, depression, addictions, or other out-of-control behaviors? Do you fear failure or the rejection of others? Do you live feeling that God is not pleased with you or that those around do not love you? Are you frustrated because nothing you've tried seems to help? It may be that you have been going after the fruit without getting to the root of the issue. Rejection Exposed demonstrates that rejection is at the root of most struggles in your life. Rejection is a spiritual force from the enemy of your soul that seeks to bring separation and make you believe you are less than perfectly accepted and loved by God and those you love. From personal experience and years of ministry, Anthony Hulsebus has discovered there is way to defeat this cycle in your life. You will learn how rejection works in your life and how you can live free from the fear of rejection, fear of failure, and fear of being alone. You will learn, for perhaps the very first time, how to truly be a son or a daughter of God and not just a servant. Rejection is a powerful spiritual force, but there is a greater spiritual force: the love of your heavenly father. Also see the Rejection Exposed Workbook, which takes an action-oriented approach, helping you to put into practice what you learn in Rejection Exposed.

The papers in this volume focus on some of the ways in which God's people have been rejected and exiled throughout history so as to become a diasporic people. They also discuss the ways God's scattered people have had to deal and cope with the resulting alienation as they have sought after God. Articles and responses treat exile and diaspora in the Old Testament, in Second Temple Judaism and Jewish Christianity, and in the Acts and the writings of Paul, paying attention to insights from the emerging discipline of diaspora studies. A final section offers a case study of the modern Filipino diaspora phenomenon, including the mobility of Filipino Christians, and discusses the implications of such diasporas for the mission of the church in the world today.

Interpersonal rejection ranks among the most potent and distressing events that people experience. Romantic rejection, ostracism, stigmatization, job termination, and other kinds of rejections have the power to compromise the quality of people's lives. As a result, people are highly motivated to avoid social rejection, and, indeed, much of human behavior appears to be designed to avoid such experiences. Yet, despite the widespread effects of real, anticipated, and even imagined rejections, psychologists have devoted only passing attention to the topic, and the research on rejection has been scattered throughout a number of psychological subspecialties (e.g., social, clinical, developmental, personality). In the past few years, however, we have seen a surge of interest in the effects of interpersonal rejection on behavior and emotion. The goal of this book is to pull together the contributions of several scholars whose work is on the cutting edge of rejection research, providing a scholarly yet readable overview of recent advances in the area. In doing so, it not only provides a look at the current state of the area but also helps to establish the topic of rejection as an identifiable area for future research. Topics covered in the book include: ostracism, unrequited love, betrayal, stigmatization, rejection sensitivity, rejection and self-esteem, peer rejection in childhood, emotional responses to rejection, and personality moderators of reactions to rejection.
