All My Knotted-Up Life: A Memoir
Winner of the 2024 ECPA Book of the Year
New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and Wall Street Journal bestseller!
An incredibly thoughtful, disarmingly funny, and intensely vulnerable glimpse into the life and ministry of a woman familiar to many but known by few.
"It's a peculiar thing, this having lived long enough to take a good look back. We go from knowing each other better than we know ourselves to barely sure if we know each other at all, to precisely sure that we don't. All my knotted-up life I've longed for the sanity and simplicity of knowing who's good and who's bad. I've wanted to know this about myself as much as anyone. This was not theological. It was strictly relational. God could do what he wanted with eternity. I was just trying to make it here in the meantime. As benevolent as he has been in a myriad of ways, God has remained aloof on this uncomplicated request." - Beth Moore

Beth Moore touches on difficult topics such as abuse, and the role of women in ministry. I love how she speaks of her 3 mentors.
One of my favourite quotes : God appears robustly committed to disproving human formulas.
“The threads of other people’s lives are inevitably knotted into ours even if only by their conspicuous absence. Who, after all, plays a bigger part in our story than one who…didn’t show up?” For me, all the ingredients were there: “Nothing makes the four of us collectively happier than making” an Erickson bundstaad. Mom and Dad, two slices of English toast; the two sisters the tuna, the brother in the middle the golden cheese. And truth was “just a wooden spoon in a shaky hand to stir up bits and pieces of compassion stuck to the bottom of a pan of thick stew.”
“All my knotted-up life I’ve longed for the sanity and simplicity of knowing who’s good and who’s bad…It wasn’t so much three steps forward and two steps back as it was ten thousand steps in circles and cycles…I was accustomed to a miserable social order of perpetual musical chairs…There are some things all the sitting in the world in someone else’s seat can’t tell you. You’d have to sit in the same skin.”
As for me, “I could not keep my act together. Somehow in the mess of it, Jesus stayed…more real, more vivid and alive, more utterly conscious, engaged, and energized right here among mortals in the briars and thorns than anyone we could see…I was as good as done, sinking to the ocean floor, and he who walked on water plunged his hand beneath the churning brine and brought me forth from the belly of the sea…Through a chain of endless storms, pocked by furious tornadoes, my sanity mocked in the darkest of nights, Jesus had held.”
“I needed neatness from God. What I got was a tangled-up knot…Somewhere inside the balled-up, walled-up mass of tangled strands in the life of faith, the inscrutable God of heaven and earth has the loose ends tied…Every inch of this harrowing journey, in all the bruising and bleeding and sobbing and pleading, my hand has been tightly knotted, safe and warm, with the hand of Jesus…Blest be the tie that binds.”
