Synopsis

Insecurity is easily the most pervasive struggle of women in America today. We have more ways than ever to compare ourselves to others--who are all prettier, thinner, smarter, more successful, and more put together than we are--and our sense of self-worth takes a serious beating on an almost daily basis. We're tired of simply commiserating with writers and bloggers who share their own struggles--we want real, workable solutions about how to find peace with ourselves.

This is what professional Christian counselor Donna Gibbs gives women with Silencing Insecurity. Drawing from her twenty years of experience counseling women, she exposes the many lies that produce insecurities in us starting from a young age, the result of letting those insecurities get the best of us, and, most importantly, the way out of insecurity--for good. Anyone who is tired of letting insecurity snatch away the joy from her life will welcome this practical and freeing book.

From the Back Cover

Say goodbye to insecurity. It's time to change how we think about ourselves.

We have more ways than ever to compare ourselves to others--who are all prettier, thinner, smarter, more successful, and more put together than we are--and our sense of self-worth takes a serious beating on an almost daily basis. It's not what God wants for us, and it's not what we want for ourselves. So why is it so hard to stop?

Drawing from her twenty years of experience counseling women, professional Christian counselor Donna Gibbs says enough is enough. In this practical book, she exposes the vulnerabilities and lies that produce insecurities in us starting from a young age, explores the result of letting those insecurities get the best of us, and, most importantly, shows us the way out of insecurity--for good.


"Comparison is a trap ensnaring many women. Donna Gibbs is a Christian counselor who understands this devastating struggle, and in her excellent book she offers encouraging, practical, biblical guidance to help readers find their way back to peace, wholeness, and security as women made in God's image."--Dr. Greg Smalley, vice president, Marriage and Family Formation, Focus on the Family

"Love this book! I'm in a very competitive environment where looks and comparisons play a huge role in being successful and 'making it,' causing us to see ourselves in a way God never intended. It's easy to get held back by insecurities, anxiety, and fear. Donna gives us real, practical tools to help us not let 'the thief' steal our joy of who God created each of us to be."--Meghan Woods, Nashville recording artist
