SO GOOD. And I love how short it is. The message isn't new, but I need to hear it every day.

Short and concise, this booklet breaks down 1 Corinthians 3:21-4:7 and applies it to issues of self-esteem, worth, pride, identity, and value. Don't rely on what others think and don't rely on what you think either: trust in what the Lord thinks of you.

This book took me 30 minutes to read. I wanted more from it than it offered. It introduces a great idea, but it stops short of fully fleshing it out. I'm a big underliner when reading books and I only underlined two sentences and wrote "Great Point!" next to another (CS Lewis' definition of pride). Other books by Tim Keller provide so much food for thought. So this book introduces a good idea. Hopefully Tim Keller will finish the idea with a full size book later.

I dunno if I'm really in the headspace for this book to feel super impactful, but it's a succinct reminder of many good things.

Great book to help push me closer to my reading goal at the end of the year—HA, that’s a joke (kind of). But actually, this is a very short book but packs a lot of punch at the deep seated pridefulness present in our hearts. Keller encourages us to quit the endless pursuit of others opinions or even our own opinions. The verdict is in and we are justified in Christ. We need to get out of the courtroom in our heads and live in the freedom of self-forgetfulness. Lord, help us to do so.
