PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this empowering manual, preacher Jones (From Social Media to Social Ministry) offers advice for boosting self-confidence. Jones draws on scripture and personal anecdotes to probe how insecurity and comparing oneself with others feed into each other. She tells how Jesus's disciples compared Jesus to John the Baptist, Elijah, and Jeremiah, and in doing so failed to recognize that Jesus was the son of God, leading Jones to conclude: "people's experiences of you is not who you are." The author provides a candid account of her struggle with body dysmorphic disorder and shares that in high school she believed that she looked unattractive compared to her school's cheerleaders, and developed a sense of self-worth tied to her weight. She posits that the "root of insecurity is when your identity is built on an insecure foundation" and encourages readers to live out their faith daily in order to ground their identity in God. Christian living readers will appreciate Jones's application of biblical principles to present-day problems, such as when she urges readers to distance themselves from friends who bring them down because Jesus said to "cut off every branch that bears no fruit." This affirms and inspires in equal measure.
