Comparison Girl; Lessons from Jesus on Me-Free Living in a Measure Up-World by Shannon Popkin {Book Review}

When you read someone's first book and enjoy it, you tell your friends, "I love this book." When you read someone's second book and enjoy it, you say, "This was written by one of my favorite authors". That, quite frankly, is how I feel after reading Comparison Girl by Shannon Popkin.

It is so refreshing when an author is willing to share experiences from her own life that display her weaknesses, struggles, mistakes and insecurities--not in a way that makes the book about her, but rather creates an atmosphere that shows her desire to connect with you. Popkin uses biblical truths to expose Satan's lies and solidify who we are in Christ.

The layout of Comparison Girl is a chapter by chapter revealing of truth; stories taken straight from everyday life that are then examined through the eyes of Christ. The reflection and transformation as we let go of the bondage of Satan's lies comes because Scripture remains the sounding board. The personal response questions and For Meditation at the end of each chapter help the book not just be a feel-good read, but a "let's put it into action" resource.

Time to get away from the insecurities and the "keeping up withs" and get back to "Jesus's me-free way of living". And Comparison Girl is designed to help Christian women do just that.
