Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God Esteem, Not Self Esteem Summary It seems that "self esteem" is a household phrase nowadays. But for those who have low self esteem it's more than just a phrase. It represents real pain. Trying to boost your own self esteem, at times, is so difficult. Good self esteem can be very fragile. People or circumstances can really shake our feelings of self worth. Too often life seems to control us by shaping our feelings. We all desperately want to find approval, acceptance, hope, and comfort. Life seems so hard. We just want relief. We all want to discover our true value and purpose. But we can't always control situations or other people. So what can we do? The answer lies not in what we do, but in how we think. The challenge is to change how we think. Rather than focusing on how much we esteem ourselves, we should focus on God's esteem for us. Complete contentment results from considering how much He loves us. At the core of God esteem is an intimate awareness of God. He who created the universe created you - not by mistake, but by loving design. God esteem is the knowledge that there is One who loves you unconditionally even when striving to please others fails. He loves you when everyone else rejects you or betrays you. He forgives you and still loves you when you fail or sin. He demonstrated that love when He sent His only Son to die for you. God esteem involves an assurance that you have a purpose in life. There is a confidence that God, who esteems you so highly, will take care of you (even through difficult times). It's a matter of shifting focus and trusting in Him. Shifting from self esteem to God esteem results in relief from the hidden, helpless feelings of inadequacy. As you relinquish your need to control your self esteem and allow God to minister to you, He will guide you through life. Trust the Lord to minister to you and heal those emotions we refer to as poor self esteem. In this book you will find promises that the Bible has for you. As you read them you will gain an assurance that God will complete the good work He has begun in you. He is faithful and He loves you. The entire thrust of the book is to help you transform your thinking about self esteem. Practical suggestions are offered to address feelings typically referred to as poor self esteem. They include: Shift your focus to God. Shift your focus to helping others. Be a God pleaser and not a man pleaser. Pray for God to reveal His will for you and to enable you to do it. Work hard. Change your expectations. Expect tribulation rather than accept the popular belief that we are all entitled to a life of complete comfort. Ask God to reveal your gifts and talents. Periodically do a "reality check." Look around and see that problems are all relative. We all experiencing difficulties. Life doesn't seem so unfair when we consider what others have to deal with. Our challenges in life sometimes pale in comparison to the ordeals of others. We can always find someone who is worse off. Welcome mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than viewing them as failures. It's at those times we see God working the most.
Download or read book Christ-Esteem written by Don Matzat and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-25 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you having problems in life? You must need more self-esteem. Confused about your purpose in life? Perhaps you need to search for self-fulfillment. Depressed? Maybe self-analysis is your only hope. People today are desperately looking inward, trying to find the answers to life's difficult questions. Yet, many of us have looked and come up short and frustrated. Instead of finding answers, the quest only adds to our confusion. Going against the tide of psychology, Don Matzat says to forget self-esteem and instead learn to love, honor and esteem Christ Jesus. If within yourself you find emptiness, get to know Jesus instead. When the search for your personal identity comes up empty, find your true identity in Jesus. In "Christ-Esteem" you will discover that Jesus Christ is the singular solution to the human dilemma.
Book Synopsis Self-Esteem Without Selfishness by : Michel Esparza
Download or read book Self-Esteem Without Selfishness written by Michel Esparza and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By Fr. Michel Esparza We’ve all been exhorted to cultivate self-esteem and nurture a positive self-image. That sounds appealing. But we also know that God calls us to humility. And many well-intentioned Christians have it in the back of their minds that being humble means living their lives in a haze of discouragement, anxiety, and preoccupation with their own sinfulness. After all, the only alternative our culture seems to offer is a vacuous “I’m OK, you’re OK” relativism: the false peace that this world gives. We know that can’t be right. So how can we attain the peace God wants for us if we’re mired in self-contempt? How can we spread Christian joy if we don’t have any ourselves? In Self-Esteem Without Selfishness, Fr. Michel Esparza leads the way out of this conundrum. A lively sense of a Father who looks on us with delight and unconditional love, together with a fearless acceptance of our own wretchedness, is the key. Fr. Esparza teaches us how to cultivate that “humble self-esteem” which neither strays from the truth about the person nor fosters discouragement at our failures. Bringing together the best of classic spiritual wisdom and the insights of contemporary psychology, he distinguishes between self-esteem in the shallow, pop-psychology sense and the rightly ordered self-love that is anything but self-centered.

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.

But has our search for answers led us too far in the wrong direction: away from our true position in Christ and toward a dangerous emphasis on self? Recent decades have seen the rise of a powerful and influential movement within the church. Identified by labels such as “self-image,” “self-esteem,” “self-worth,” and “self-love,” this movement has one common denominator—the emphasis on self. Regardless of religious persuasion, everyone seems to be fighting what they perceive to be a shared enemy: low self-esteem. Now well-known biblical counselor and noted author Jay Adams brings much-needed clarification to the area of self-esteem and offers the church and every believer a truly biblical view of self.

Book excerpt: As Christians, we know we're supposed to be holy, set apart, and different than the world.

The question the devout are seeking today is, what does it really look like to follow Christ in a culture of darkness?

Book excerpt: It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. An enduring relationship begins with the first step of effective communication. Because of the power of verbal communication, Charles Gerber urges Christians to carefully monitor their speech. He reminds us that communication can be used for either good or evil purposes. Words will ultimately reveal the heart of the speaker. Knowing the tremendous impact spoken words can have on any relationship, Gerber encourages speech that embodies New Testament teachings. Examples from Scripture -- of both positive and negative effects of speech -- clarify the picture of what godly speech should or should not be. Jesus Christ himself is examined as the greatest communicator of the Bible. Christ's teachings and conversations provide a perfect model for all Christians. Engaging anecdotes present the effects of spoken words in a variety of settings. Gerber offers concise, realistic suggestions for improving communication skills and quality in any conversation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DEFINES YOU? WHAT IS YOUR IDENTITY? How you answer those questions affects every aspect of your life: personal, public, and spiritual. So it’s vital to get the answer right. Pastor and best-selling author Mark Driscoll believes false identity is at the heart of many struggles—and that you can overcome them by having your true identity in Christ. In Who Do You Think You Are?, Driscoll explores the question, “What does it mean to be ‘in Christ’?” In the process he dissects the false-identity epidemic and, more important, provides the only solution—Jesus. “This book will give you an unshakeable, biblical understanding of who you are in Christ. When you know who you are, you’ll know what to do.” —Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv and author of Soul Detox, Clean Living in a Contaminated World “I spent years in ministry for Christ without understanding my identity in Christ. I know now that I was not alone. When, by the grace of God, we understand who we are in Christ, everything else can crumble and we will still be standing. I highly commend this book to you.” —Sheila Walsh, speaker and author of God Loves Broken People

Book Synopsis It: Identity Trespass by : Dr. Jacqueline DeLaney
Download or read book It: Identity Trespass written by Dr. Jacqueline DeLaney and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-01-30 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every human being has an innate call to be truly known as significant and loved by others. God has created and set this longing within us to be known for who we are. Knowing you is to know that your identity is in Jesus Christ because you were created in God’s image. An individual’s lack of this knowledge can result in a sociopsychological identity crisis and role confusion as characterized by social psychologist Erik Erikson. To know your identity is to know whose you are and how you came to be you. Therefore, much of our emotional pain, turmoil, and dysfunctions in our personal lives are predicated on not knowing our true identity. Essentially, we make an effort to behave according to our self-concept and self-esteem, which are based on the versions of reactions we have received from others. Consequently, self-esteem points toward the distinction between one’s perceived self-concept and with one’s ideal self. Our sense of worth is initially tremendously impacted during our early years because we develop a vision of ourselves through the expressions we received by the significant people during those early years. Loving affirmations promote good self-identity, and being rejected can be the basis for a negative self-image later in life. Due to such unprocessed emotionally trauma from our early years, many of us experience deficits in core longings. Also, these unprocessed emotional wounds impact our relationships with God, self, and others. Consequently, we need the aid of a structure that promotes the truth of God esteem and to position us for emotional healing that positively impact our identity in Christ. This book presents elements of a spiritual formational approach, which incorporates the knowledge of core longings, self-fulfilling behaviors, and emotional wounds into a personal healing structure that impacts our Christian identity.
