Book Description

Publication Date: 19 Feb 2009 | ISBN-10: 0340954213 | ISBN-13: 978-0340954218
'There is an epidemic of insecurity in our society today. Many people are insecure and feel bad about themselves, which steals their joy and causes major problems in all their relationships.'

'The good news is that there is a cure for the approval addiction!'

APPROVAL ADDICTION asks why so many of us have an overwhelming need for acceptance from the wider world - and provides the key to breaking free from this addiction.

Joyce Meyer's groundbreaking book, now available with a new look for the B-format edition:
· Demonstrates that you can accept who you are
· Identifies the cause of our addictive need for approval
· Helps you to be released from the chains of past
· Guides you through steps to break the pattern for the future

Joyce writes from raw, personal knowledge of how insecurity and low self-esteem - stemming in her case from damaging childhood experiences - can leave us feeling constantly frustrated and lacking real peace or joy. It was through embracing the knowledge that she is unconditionally loved by God that she found inner security and the power to live her life to her full potential.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book may change your life for good 16 April 2006
By MicT
Format:Paperback
I was bought this book for mother's day by my husband - Approval addiction I thought? No, I don't have one of those. But hey, because I didn't want to upset him (approval addict that I actually am) I read it. Wow, this book is great. I realised that for ages I have been living in fear, when I should be living in freedom.

If you live your life trying to please other people - you need ot read this book. It tells you all about the only One you need to please - and contrary to secular teachings - it isn't yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 7 Mar 2008
By Eliza
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had never heard of Joyce Meyer before this book, but I am glad I found her now and have shared this book with many of my friends (Christian and non Christian alike)Not found anyone who didn't like it - all said it was good to have "life" examples rather than just theory, the non Christians thought it was a good insight into what Christians believe. All have recognised someone they know in the pages of this book in addition to some of their own personal traits and have found it changed their life in some way. I can see why the word "addiction" is in the title but don't be put off by it

3.0 out of 5 stars insecurity or blessings? 8 Feb 2011
By Christian
Format:Paperback
Joyce Meyer believes there is an epidemic of insecurity and low self-esteem in our society today which has led to people needing a `fix' of approval from others. She believes it is God's will for each of us to feel secure so that we can receive the blessings and joy God intends for us - that this security should be based on knowing who we are in Christ, in accepting God's unconditional love and in accepting ourselves with all our weaknesses and imperfections, recognising that when God looks at believers he sees the righteousness of His Son Jesus, not everything wrong with us or that we have done wrong. She states that insecurity comes from focusing on your weaknesses and this book aims to help readers to find their approval in Christ; to accept who they are; to deal with things that hinder walking with God and others; and find wholeness in God and be free from the addiction to approval.
The style of writing is quite `wordy', and uses lots of terms that would probably be unfamiliar to the un-churched though she does attempt to explain some of these, there are lots of Bible quotes with bracketed add-ins that prevent smoothness of reading.... Read more ›
