When I started reading this book I knew that it would be a challenge to my belief system. The title "It's Not About You" troubled me, but it was what I needed to hear. This book reminds us that the world does not evolve around us! God has the big picture in mind.

Although we may go through many trials and tribulations, God is the same yesterday, today and forever. The author did a great job reminding us that God is not surprised about what is going on in our lives. He is in control and He cares!

I guarantee that once you start reading this book, you will be encouraged. You will gain more knowledge on how to have joy in times of adversity. This book is a must read!

This is the first book outside of the Holy Bible that TRULLY spoke to my spirit. I've just begun reading the book [I'm currently on page 57] and I can't seem to get enough of this TELL IT LIKE IT IS reading.

If you are at a season in your life where you feel like
"There's Got To Be More to Life Than This" then this is the right book for you.

I'm very grateful that the author was obedient to the Holy Spirit and wrote this book for this season in my life.

The author does a great job of explaining and giving examples on how "we" CAN uncomplicate matters in our lives by simply giving it over to God.

I personally understand that it can be challengning to give it over to God because my mind has not been fully renewed in this area. This book is helping me to make a decision to throw off my old mind and put on His New.

Quite frankly, many of us "Strong Black Christian Women" and I use this phrase loosely are missing the mark. This book is an excellent tool in helping "us" sisas begin to understand life from God's perspective.

God desire's much more for us than a husband, 2.5 kids, and a phat house with money. He HAS So much more for us!

As a result of this book, I'm challenged to take a good hard look at my inward man. To be honest, there's some stuff that I'm seeing that I don't like and needs to be corrected.

If you trully want God to Do More for you in 2004, I highly recommend that you purchase this book. You're eyes will be enlighted and opened. You'll get the AHa!!! on the situation.

Meditate and constantly chew on this book. You'll get something fresh out of it everytime you pick it. Excellent choice for a Book Club.

Could Christians be selfish, self-absorbed and self-centered? But we love God and sing hymns like "I Surrender All." Surely we don't have the me-disease?

Popular conference speaker and best-selling author of Chosen Vessels, Rebecca Florence Osaigbovo (www.cvmi.org) challenges women, especially "strong black women," to get God's perspective on life. This radical book is not a "feel good" message but an in-your-face book that burns up any narcissism in your soul.

She motivates women to know the beauty and power of a totally surrendered life to Christ.

"When a strong black woman becomes a Christian, she has to lean on God. She has to see strength from a different perspective...God is going to use the woman who delights in her weakness but walks in the strength of the Lord and the power of His might. It's really about God," writes Osaigbovo.

This book will surely be the talk of every urban beauty shop - especially to those women who find themselves looking in the mirror and getting a revelation that "it's not about me - but up to me." Osaigbovo inspires women to take focus off themselves and become powerful partners with God.

Gotta give it up to Mommy, her new book is quite
thermal. It is entitled "It's Not About You," by
Mommy--I mean--- Rebecca Osaigbovo.
She's funny, and she cuts to the heart of one of the
biggest strongholds we can have- pride. Its also very
encouraging, because in it she shows how God can use
our trials, struggles, and infirmities for His
Purposes.
Its targeted at black women, but everybody should read
it; even if she's not your Mommy.

An excellent, life changing book that helps you to align your perspectives and priorities in God's will.

There were moments of saying to myself I've been there and done that. It is great to read your own thoughts thru another person's action. I loved reading this book. The author mentioned other books she used as reference. I'm plannning to purchase those books also.

This book is not just for SBW's!! I am an SWW and this book is OUTSTANDING for everyone, male or female! I was attracted to the title, "It's Not About You", because I recently have actually learned (what a concept) that: when someone is yelling at me for whatever reason, it's not about ME, it's about THEM (and what they're feeling or going thru at the moment) and I've learned to take things a lot less personally...What freedom there is in that!

But, going even further, it's not about me because, as the author also says in her title, "it's about God". Period. He's in control, I am not. He is strong, I am not. It's about God, not about me. All of it. And "no matter what happens, I'll be OK" because it IS all about Him...and not me...

I cannot recommend this book enough! Wonderfully insightful and full of Truth.

I found this book to be very simple in its explanation that it's not what God can do for you, but what you can do for God. It's His will that one needs to seek in order to undstand what He requires of us in order to glorify Him.
