You! The Journey to the Center of Your Worth is an inspiring look at the interconnected nature of self-esteem and Christian spirituality. As the author states, many Christians mistakenly believe that looking within and working on one’s own issues of self-esteem is a selfish act. They worry that if they focus on themselves they will become selfish and forget to give praise to God. The author states that although selfishness can lead Christians away from God, becoming all that you can be not only shows your appreciation for His gifts but also allows you to fully live and share His message.
There are a few things very unique about this book. Very few (if any) books have been written that acknowledge let alone address the very prominent Christian worry about becoming self-centered. Moreover, the author has the unique ability to explain concepts using stories and analogies and then related these concepts back to the issue at hand. He then goes even further to back up everything he says with quotes from the bible. I expect that these abilities and methodologies make the author a very popular, entertaining, and effective minister.
