You Have Permission to Be You

 Have you ever struggled with people pleasing?  Have you ever felt like you didn’t have the permission to be you? I know these struggles well.  Joyce Meyer, in her book Authentically Uniquely You:  Living Free from Comparisons and the Need to Please, shares biblical concepts for overcoming these issues.

Synopsis: 

“God has given you gifts so you can fulfill His purpose for your life, but if you're like a lot of people, you may not have recognized your talents yet. Start asking God to show you something special about the way He's made you.

To some people, He's given a very tender, compassionate heart, and some He has wired to lead others effectively. Others, He has given a gift of being able to communicate clearly, to teach, to make scientific discoveries, or to write beautiful music. Only you can discover all the dynamic gifts He's placed in you.

Become Authentically, Uniquely You because God is never going to help you be anyone but yourself. He loves you just as you are. Let God use you, with all your strengths and weaknesses, and transform you from the inside out to do something powerful beyond your wildest dreams.” (amazon.com)

My Thoughts:

Joyce Meyer always encourages people to study the topics they need to grow.  Having said all of this, I found this book very useful, and it addressed areas that I have struggled with.  I used both the book and the study guide.  I would recommend this book and study.  I have learned a great deal, and I have also seen evidence of my progress.   The book is easy to read and has very relevant chapters.
