No More Christian Nice Girl: When Just Being Nice - Instead of Good - Hurts You, Your Family, and Your Friends Review
Authors: Paul Coughlin & Jennifer D. Degler
Publishers Summary:
Be the Strong, Confident, and Caring Woman You Were Meant to Be
Tired of doing all you can for others while your relationships remain stuck in neutral--or headed in reverse? Paul Coughlin and psychologist Jennifer Degler show how being nice can harm you and drain the life out of your relationships. They explore the keys to fulfillment at home, work, church, and even in the bedroom. You'll discover that emulating the real Jesus is the key to transforming from a Christian Nice Girl into an authentic, powerful woman of loving faith.
My Thoughts:
Are you a yes woman? One who always says YES to everything regardless of whether or not you want to do it, have time or energy to do it? This book will appeal not only that type of lady, but also anyone who has a tendency to be "NICE" sometimes while sacrificing your own wants. I choose to read this book in order of the chapters that appealed to me. So I read it a bit out of order and enjoyed it that way. So it's one of those books that if you need a bit of added courage/advice from a non-judgemental friend, pick it up and jump to the chapter where you want to be that Strong, Confident, Caring Woman God created you to be and not just the YES Lady. Personally I know I'll be headed back to the chapter on Dating soon. The ones on Family and Relationships and Work were also interesting. The appendix at the back citing examples where Jesus wasn't always nice and gentle, but often assertive and firm was a nice addition.
