About the book:
Women compare constantly—on social
media, in their neighborhood, at church, even in the school drop-off lane. They
glance sideways and ask themselves, "How do I measure up?" All this
assessment feels like a natural way of finding a place in the world. But it
pulls them into feelings of inferiority or superiority, guiding them into a
trap of antagonism by the enemy.
Satan would like women to
strive to measure up, constantly adding to a tally sheet that can't ever be
balanced. The way of Jesus is completely upside down from that philosophy.
Instead, he says the last shall be first--and the greatest are those who empty
themselves, lay down their lives, and serve each other.
Through conversations Jesus had
and parables he shared, Shannon Popkin has created a seven-week Bible study to
address this tendency to compare and judge ourselves and others. Each chapter
is divided into lessons, allowing women on a time budget to read a Bible
passage, engage in a complete train of thought related to the topic, and then
make the content personal--all in one sitting. And the informal teaching tone
will make women feel like they're meeting with a trusted friend.
Suited for both individual and
group study, Comparison Girl will guide women to leave their
measure-up ways behind, connect with those around them, and break free from the
shackles of comparison!
