review 1: This book had me captured from the first page. I grew up much like the author--in a home full of love and security. Even so, like her, I had made other people's love and affirmation and high opinion of me into an idol until keeping up the perfect facade became a terrible burden for me. Soon after that "love idol" of mine led to what could have been terrible consequences (but wasn't, thanks to God's grace) I found this book. It has helped me (is still helping me!) to find my affirmation in Jesus, to see myself through God's eyes, to know that because I'm loved by Him and because His love is a FREE gift ("through grace you have been saved, not by works"), I am free to simply live for Him without running over everyone else's approval. Love this book! Every Christian wo... moreman should read it!
review 2: This book was a cut above. Simple as that.I've never read a book like this in my whole life.At first I thought it was going to be some of thosetypical self-help books or those super christian booksthat thinks they're going to change people's lives,but no, I was wrong. This one was an exception. It's like Jennifer has read allpeople's diaries. This book won't change you in whole, butthis book will make you realize that there's no approvalfor anything and that the one you were seeking forwas already yours. less
