MY REVIEW:
“Be free from toxic mindsets, destructive patterns of behavior, and lies that keep you bound.” This sentence jumped out at me from the back of the book.
In section 1 the author introduces the concept of the 60 day challenge and her personal story. “The Freedom Challenge” is designed to disrupt automatic negative and destructive patterns of thought, talk, actions, and reactions that have been programmed into your mind and are unconsciously pare of your worldview. As you renew your mind with God’s Word and daily focus on select meditations that bring truth and light, your personal metamorphosis will begin.”
The daily challenge consists of 7 parts: todays truth, declare, meditate believe accept, confess, affirm, explore, and extra memory challenge. There are also little sections to journal at the end of each day but I would recommend a separate journal since it’s not alot of room.
Then section 2 including chapters 3-10 which are days 1-53.
Section 3 includes chapter 11-13 for days 54-60 and afterward.
I could tell this author put alot of time and effort and research into writing this book. Very easy to read and apply. The challenge is to “untie the cords that bind us” including cords of fear, depression, negative emotions, control, and pride to name a few. If someone didn’t want to do the whole 60 day challenge, I feel like reading a particular chapter would still be beneficial.
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

More from Dawn
As a little girl, I can remember singing in church with all my heart “Blessed Be the Ties That Bind.” Those ties that bind our hearts to one-another in love and to Jesus himself, are indeed blessed. But what about ties that aren’t blessed?
Hi I’m Dawn and I’m super glad you stopped by today!
I’m a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. At 19 years old, I became a wife and very soon after, a mother. After years of abuse, I was also a victim of rage and bitterness. The childhood sexual trauma was over, but the abuse aftermath—anger, pain, and depression—continued to destroy me. The cords of unwanted bondage choked joy and life out of me.
Today, I live fierce and free and serve as a freedom-coach to help others do the same. I’ve been on a journey for over 25 years, seeking God’s freedom through his truth and learning how to empower others to do the same. The Freedom Challenge: 60-Days to Untie the Cords that Bind You, is the map God gave me to find my way out of bondage, and now I’m sharing it with you! I pray you will also experience God’s glorious deliverance.
And now some fun facts about me:
I have a wonderful husband named Paul. Together we pastor a church called Tribes—but here’s the deal, he’s the “Pastor’s Spouse,” not me.
I am a grandma of 11! It’s the awesomest—a word I use to describe it! I especially like what my grandson Colton calls me…Jam’ma.
I love animals—all kinds—and I’ve determined there are absolutely no germs in dog kisses.
I also have to admit, I adore anything that glitters or sparkles and someday hope to have a bling store.
Lastly, I love Jesus and I still sing my heart out in church!

Have you ever wondered why the wise men brought frankincense and myrrh for the baby Jesus? As a curious and highly enthusiastic child, health and wellness coach Teri Secrest asked everyone she knew and met, but no one could tell her. She grew up thinking it was just a nice little story…but never stopped wondering.
Teri Secrest is a health and wellness expert whose passion is to teach simple and proven methods for vibrant health to people around the world. That passion is rooted in her early experiences of learning about whole foods and herbs in her family’s organic garden and her mother’s passion for good food as the owner of a French cooking school. These early lessons guided Teri to a healthy path for herself and her own family, yet it was her first astonishing experience with essential oils as a young mother that ignited her lifelong passion for learning, practicing, and teaching people to take hold of God’s extravagant provision for their health.
A cowboy to her rescue…but she’s not who he thinks she is.
