All women want to feel is valued. But problems arise when we
seek confirmation that we are enough using the world's
standards. Almost from birth, we are trained to find the approval
and acceptance we crave in the eyes of family, friends, and even
strangers. The result is that we cannot believe we are who God says
we are--accepted, loved, beautiful, and treasured. We get tangled
up in the world's assessment and our own self-judgment.
With hope-filled writing and plenty of hard-won personal advice,
Carey Scott shows women how to untangle their self-esteem from the
world and anchor it in Jesus. She lovingly shows readers that God
was intentional in how he made them and that he is well pleased
with his work. Women will learn practical strategies to escape
unattainable standards and the performance-based measuring stick of
the world, and find comfort in the fact that they are not alone on
the journey.
