Tailor Made

One of the things I love about this book is that Alex so tenderly shares portions of her own story ans creates a solidarity with her readers in it. Her honesty will leave you nodding even though your story looks drastically different. Because at some point, we’ve all believed less about ourselves. We’ve all believed lies about who we really are & purposed to be. We’ve worn false labels, living life as knock-offs of what we are called to be & seen as by the Creator. This book helps you recognize wrongful thinking rooted in an inaccurate view of God, insecurities, unforgiveness & more.But it doesn’t end there and that’s one of the other things I love about this book. It doesn’t take you through the Spirit-led process of identifying false labels and leave you to pity them or yourself. It doesn’t give more attention to the past and the limitations of lies than it gives to the One who has called you forth in healing and purpose. It calls you forward in kindness and truth.You’ll not be left unchanged holding the flat pages of this book. Because I believe it has the power to bring about a holy internal combustion over the lives of those who really read it.

What’s so great about this book is that it’s Alex’s heart, her freedom journey, her passion for leading other people into freedom, in completely plain and simple language. Her writing style is like her preaching style: she gets to the point and is always pointing to Jesus. After hearing her preach so many inspiring messages, to get a glimpse into the life of Alex the little girl, Alex the ministry novice, and Alex the newlywed, is such a gift. She makes herself relatable. Sometimes we see preachers so free and on fire on the stage and think, “I could never have that. I could never be like that.” But because Alex lets us into the struggles that plagued her before she learned to silence the lies of the enemy, we see that it’s possible for any of us to find the kind of joy and freedom her life exudes.I read the book over the past few days, and I can honestly say I’ve lived (over the past two years in recovery from brokenness) the part of life where you have to break off lies that you aren’t good enough, the lies that keep you stuck in comparison, the lies that keep you cut off from the people who could really speak love and wisdom into your life. I loved the organization, authenticity, and authority of the writing in Tailor Made: the chapters all contain part of her story, practical tools for diving deeper into freedom from insecurity and lies, plenty of beautifully suited and applicable scripture, and a prayer at the end for talking to God from wherever the reader is in her faith.I especially connected to the parts of Alex’s story about her relationship with her mother, the ways she felt unwanted and had negative words spoken over her. My mother and I have struggled in the past with these same kinds of issues, but I’m happy to report that we have been healing our relationship. Generational lies and curses can keep us stuck and trapped in unfulfilling relationships and tumultuous cycles. The people closest to us and the people who came before us have a lot of power over how we think about ourselves, but Alex reminds us that it’s what God thinks about us that solidifies our identity as sons and daughters. I actually can’t wait to give my own mom (or “mum” if you’re Alex) a copy of this book. She will love it and will definitely relate.

I first heard Alex speak about the book through an online sermon at Fresh Life Church. I knew I had to read the book and I am forever grateful. Although our stories are different, as I read her story I felt as if she was reading mine to me. She experienced the same feelings and hurts as I did and learning about how she conquered them brought me hope. This book has taken mine and Gods relationship to a whole new level as I allow Him to go to my deepest hurts and heal me. Not only a must read, but a must to apply to your life.

Pastor Alex has truly changed the way I view Christianity (after attending The Belonging). I am so glad that she put her words on paper for us all to have!! This book has a life changing message that everyone needs! Pastor Alex speaks truth always and this book is no different. Thank you Pastor Alex for writing this book! So many lives will be changed!

If you are needing to really know why you are here and what’s your purpose...then this is the book for you! Alex’s love for God and everyone made in His Image is the best dose of hope you could ever ask for. She’s an incredible, compassionate teacher of God’s word. Go buy this book. It will do your heart a world of great good.

I know God lead me to this book! Little did I know when I picked up this book I would be lead in a journey of discovering who I am and how precious I am to God. I related to many of her examples and learned that I am truly unique and so greatly loved. I had no idea when I started reading that it was written by s woman that I had heard at a church near my home in Nashville, that is so God to create that detail also! Thank you for writing this book at this specific time and for sharing your life to help someone like me. If you read this book be ready for a transforming process to take place. It has been an amazing journey!

Tailor Made is powerful from beginning to end! I didn’t understand how much I had been living under the shadow of the words that had been spoken over me throughout my life... this book has helped me get free of those labels! This book is a highly recommended read!

Loved this book. The author's authenticity and honesty and along with the many promises and truths found in Scripture make this a must read for anyone struggling to find their identity and place in this world.

Fantastic book. Such revelation about who we are and what God has spoken over us. Written in such a way to make you believe greater things of God are within your grasp. Would highly recommend it.

Es un libro que TIENES que leer para entender que eres una pieza única. La manera en que está escrito genera mucha identificación. Es un libro inspirado.

Alex Seeley! Yess!
