Publisher's summary

Read by the author.

Greatness and mediocrity are separated by one thing--how you respond to rejection.

People who crumble beneath the weight of rejection never realize their full potential, but people who learn to use rejection as a catalyst experience fulfillment in their lives.

Nona Jones has experienced her fair share of rejection. Some of her earliest memories are of her mother's rejection, and those feelings persisted throughout her schooling, her career, and her infertility journey. Things that seemed to come easily to others seemed unavailable to Nona--but what could have taken her down the path of failure actually brought her to her greatest achievements.

The secret? Seeing rejection as the gift that it is.

The perfect follow-up to her previous book, Killing Comparison, The Gift of Rejection is a practical guide offering a new, unconventional framework for rejection; instead of being a pain to heal, it becomes a teacher to learn from. Nona shares insightful research, practical steps, and powerful stories from her own life as well as the lives of Bible characters and modern-day trailblazers to help you:

  • Identify the root of rejection and how it's manifesting in your life
  • Pinpoint when the pain of rejection is triggering you and counter it with truth
  • Respond to rejection with resilience and resolve rather than fear and defeat
  • Anchor your identity in who God is calling you to be

Rejection is a gift that can help you build resilience, character, and success. The Gift of Rejection will teach you how.

The Gift of Rejection Positions You For Purpose

If I could give this book a million stars, I would. The Gift of Rejection has truly ministered to my soul. I experienced rejection at an early age, when my father walked out of my life. Rejection has appeared in my life in many different forms and before reading this book, I never knew how to deal with it. Nona Jones gives me the tools that I’ll use going forward to help me cope when I’m faced with rejection. She backs every word with scripture reference. Rejection is truly God’s gift and His protection. Thank you, Nona for helping me see my life of rejection as a gift. Thank you for sharing your story and allowing God to use you to help others.

This Book is Gift!

I cannot tell you how many times Nona Jones “Gift of Rejection” sermon popped up on my YouTube algorithm. The sight of it made me cringe and had me thinking “oh no I don’t want to go there” until now God has me here in a time of rejection!

This book is such a treasure. Nona does such a wonderful job with her stories and insight. Her words are brief enough to not make you feel like you’re not picking at a wound but soothing enough to assess it!

Thank you Nona for sharing such deep and personal insight into your heart and leading us to look up instead of down at our seasons of rejection. Blessings!!

Beautiful Mixture

The book is relatable while at the same time educational. There is a beautiful mixture of scripture and psychological analysis in the book.

This book is for everyone!

If you’ve ever been rejected by a person or a job, you need this book!
Nona’s story is so relatable and she shares many different examples of rejection that happens often in our lives.
I read the whole book in one day. I couldn’t put it down! She had me in tears as it stirred up my past rejections that I’ve been holding onto. I feel equipped to start using her OPEN strategy to evaluate them one by one.
God placed Nona on my heart at the perfect time. I saw her on the Bible App yesterday and read her 5 day devotional in one sitting. Then I quickly pre-ordered her book that released today. God knew I needed this message and he cleared my busy schedule so that I could read what He needed me to hear.
Thank you Nona for being so vulnerable and sharing your story! God bless you!
