Helpful for People Pleasers,
By Linda Born (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting Off the Niceness Treadmill (Paperback)
Carol Noren Johnson has learned that being nice is not always the equivalent of being godly. She says, "Now I dare to care not whether my giving is recognized or even outstanding. Why have I needed that glory! Off the treadmill! I surrender to the Lord and His glory" (p.64).This book helped me to take a careful look at my motivation for the "good works" I perform on behalf of others.

Where is the voice of nice people? Too seldom are they able to speak up for themselves or articulate what they are really feeling. Getting off the Niceness Treadmill is a thoughtful collection of memoirs that both exposes and illuminates the inner voice of the nice person. I enjoyed reading the reflections of the lessons learned in Carol's relationships with others and the humor she brought to these stories! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your heart in both how your motives were impure and how you have matured to offer others a gift out of your pain.

This review is from: Getting Off the Niceness Treadmill (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me since I often found myself in situations where I was being taken advantage of. I had this notion that to be a christian I just had to suffer the wrongs that others caused me and that I shouldn't stand up for myself. As a result, I found myself becoming a pushover and was often hurt by both unbelievers as well as christians within the church. The author does a good job of showing that biblical kindness does not mean that as Christians we should be trampled upon. She uses both Scripture and her past experiences to demonstrate what true kindness looks like and that we can and should stand up for ourselves at certain times. She includes many touching stories and situations that anyone can relate to. If you are someone that finds yourself being taken advantage of, and often feel the need to be "nice", I would highly recommend this insightful book for more wisdom!
