Peer pressure, codependency, shame, low self-esteem; these are just some of the words used to identify how people are controlled by others' opinions. Why is it so important to be liked? Why is rejection so traumatic?
Edward T. Welch's insightful, biblical answers to these questions show that freedom from others' opinions and genuine, loving relationships grow as we learn about ourselves, others and God. This interactive book includes questions for individual or group study and is suitable for teenagers and young adults.
"... Ed Welch carefully, surgically, exposes people-pleasing for what it is. He lets it be ugly - all sin is ugly! - and offers a much more satisfying vision rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Whether you are young or old (but especially if you are young) you would do well to give this book a read."
