Description
"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-focus. Anyone yearning for a purpose bigger than "project me" will cherish this paradigm-shifting message of true fulfillment"--Page 4 of cover.
