the Parable of Carnival Relationship: Why Settle When You Can Select

Are you tired of relationships that feel like a carnival ride--thrilling one moment, terrifying the next, and somehow always ending up right back where you started?You already know the feeling: the same broken pattern, dressed up in a different face. The same excuses. The same red flags you talked yourself out of seeing.Apostle Sharmaine Thomas calls it the Carnival Relationship--and she's walked through every ride in it. The parking lot where the first warning signs appear. The rides that spin you in circles and never actually go anywhere. The clowns who refuse to grow up, and the fun house that distorts who you really are.Blending raw personal testimony with practical wisdom and Scripture, this parable-style guide names the patterns keeping you stuck--settling, trauma bonding, ignoring your own discernment---and shows you how to walk away with your dignity, your healing, and your faith intact.This isn't a book about fixing him. It's about finding you.If you're ready to stop settling for less than you deserve and start believing you can select instead, this book will meet you exactly where you are.Step off the ride. Your story doesn't have to keep going in circles.
