Synopsis
A compassionate and biblically grounded look at perfectionism that invites readers to move from pressure and self-reliance to the freedom of God’s grace.
In Picture Perfect, counselor and author Amy Baker explores our culture’s mixed view of perfectionism—celebrating high achievers even as perfectionism fuels anxiety, anger, burnout, and paralysis. Rather than simply advising perfectionists to relax or lower their standards, Baker challenges the common narrative and turns to Scripture to show that the real issue is deeper and more hopeful.
Drawing on twenty-five years of counseling experience, she helps readers uncover the beliefs, fears, and desires that drive perfectionism and reveals how Christ’s perfect work reshapes our motives, expectations, and goals. By pointing to God’s grace and the transforming power of Jesus, Baker offers a path that replaces the relentless ache of “never enough” with the confidence and rest found in him.
- Addresses perfectionism at its root rather than offering surface-level fixes or clichés.
- Shows how Christ’s perfection reframes desires, motivations, and expectations in everyday life.
- Offers hope and freedom from self-imposed pressure through the truth of God’s grace and the sufficiency of Jesus.

Softcover/Paperback. Condition: Fair. Your Perfectionism Isn't Enough. Striving for our lofty goals is supposed to be helping us achieve more, but does it? Do you ever feel like your perfectionism is actually getting in the way of your achievements? The terrible truth is that perfectionism is a crushing burden that can leave us angry, anxious, and paralyzed. The impossibly high standards we set ourselves are actually bringing us down rather than lifting up. The core issue is that the quest for perfection will never transform a heart. Amy Baker examines the root and purpose of the longing for perfection to show how God's grace transforms the of not achieving perfection into the overflowing abundance of Christian faith.

Paperback. Condition: New. As a culture, we have a love-hate relationship with perfectionism. We reward perfectionists for their insistence on setting high standards and their tireless efforts to achieve them. But psychologists link perfectionism with a host of problematic behaviors ranging from eating disorders to risk aversion to workaholism. Perfectionism is a crushing burden that can leave us angry, anxious, and paralyzed.Is the solution just to "lighten up"? In Picture Perfect, counselor and author Amy Baker challenges the popular notion that perfectionists need to lower their standards. After carefully examining Scripture and drawing from twenty-five years of counseling experience, Baker concludes, "The problem is not that our standards are too high and we just need to lighten up. The problem is that God's instruction to be perfect in Matthew 5:48 doesn't lead us to see how desperately we need him and drive us to our perfect Savior."Helping readers to dig beneath the frustration of perfectionism, Baker exposes what drives our perfectionism and shows how Christ's perfection changes our motives, beliefs, desires, fears, anxieties, and goals. Readers will discover that only God's grace can transform the aching "not enough" of perfectionism into the overflowing abundance of faith. Seller Inventory # LU-9781939946379
