"I'm Not Good Enough"...and Other Lies Women Tell Themselves [Paperback]

Sharon Jaynes (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2009

It’s easy to be deceived and to become hostage to lies, especially those we tell ourselves:

• I am a loser
• Nobody loves me
• I don’t have time to read the Bible
• I’m not good enough
• I would be happier married to someone else
• My family would be better off if I were dead
• Without an education, I’ll always be behind

The list goes on.

Sharon Jaynes, popular author, speaker, and Bible teacher, says that just as Jesus countered Satan’s lies with truth from God’s Word, so women today must use the Scriptures to counter those falsehoods that all too easily creep into their thinking. In this book, Sharon looks at the common lies women tell themselves and shows them how they can replace those lies with Truth.

“I’m Not Good Enough”...and Other Lies Women Tell Themselves is a handy reference tool that will help women renew their minds and think God’s thoughts rather than be swayed by the enemy’s deceptions.

This review is from: "I'm Not Good Enough"...and Other Lies Women Tell Themselves (Paperback)

I'm Not Good Enough by Sharon Jaynes is subtitled And Other Lies Women Tell Themselves. It's a terrific way to silence the voices that women (I know I do) hear that tell them they aren't good enough, would be happier with a new husband, or are unloved. Those are lies I hear far too often in my own head, especially the I would be happy if... I've often thought that I would be happy if my rheumatoid arthritis went away, but Jaynes uses Scripture and anecdotes to show why all of those lies are untrue and separate us from God's truth. I read Nancy Leigh DeMoss ' Lies that Women Believe several months ago, and while the two books are a bit similar, they address some different situations, and I learned a great deal from both books. DeMoss can be a bit condescending to her readers, but Jaynes is always full of love and compassion assuring readers that she's walked in their shoes and can relate without judgment. This would be a terrific book to do with a group or alone.

This review is from: "I'm Not Good Enough"...and Other Lies Women Tell Themselves (Paperback)

This is a wonderful, Christian-based self-help book dealing mostly with lies a woman tells herself that lower not only her self-esteem, but limit her potential in all aspects of her life. Many of today's women struggle with their view of themselves and how they perceive that others see them. Jaynes points the reader to God's Word to see what God says about us and encourages us to start using Scripture to defeat the lies that so easily bring us down. It is a wonderful resource to share with others.

I love how this book ties scripture into the real life stories to explain God's plan for us. Life changing, positive reinforcement of a woman's worth.
