We live in a culture that's all about self, becoming the best "me" I can be instead of becoming like Jesus. This me-centered message affects every area of our lives--our friendships, our marriages, even our faith--and it breaks each one in different ways. The self-focused life robs our joy, shrinks our souls, and is the reason we never quite break free of insecurity.In this book, Sharon Hodde Miller invites us into a bigger, Jesus-centered vision--one that restores our freedom and inspires us to live for more. She helps readers - identify the secret source of insecurity - understand how self-focus sabotages seven areas of our lives- learn four practical steps for focusing on God and others- experience freedom from the burden of self-focusAnyone yearning for a purpose bigger than "project me" will cherish this paradigm-shifting message of true fulfillment.
we read this in my bible study group (roughly a dozen women) and every one of us were enthralled with it. every page felt like a revelation. i about highlighted the whole thing (im one of those). talked about it so much my not so religious boyfriend let me read it to him. and will be recommending it to about every person i know.
truly makes you realize the weight of worrying about yourself so much when we are always claiming to give it to God. it walks you through all the tiny ways you try to control yourself, your family, the outcomes and what that really does to the situation and your soul. but best of all she writes the ways we can lay it down by getting to the roots of it in such simple ways.
