I quite enjoyed this short little book. I have been reading a chapter a day with my normal Bible reading and devotionals in the morning and I liked it. This book is essentially about breaking down the way in which we compare ourselves to others, why we do it and how to stop it.
I think everyone has an issue with comparing themselves to others. Especially females. This book isn't a cure by any means - I don't think there will ever be one. But it talks about what God and the Bible say about comparing yourself to others - whether it's through pride and vanity as you see yourself above others, or through envy and despair looking up at others and yourself as a little nobody.
I found this book quite insightful. Not only do we compare ourselves with others based on our (and their) status, circumstance, appearance (my biggest one), but also with our spirituality and faith (for Christians).
I did learn a lot from this book, and I recommend giving it a read if you're a Christian struggling with CCS (compulsive comparison syndrome) - which, who isn't!? Even if you're not a Christian this will probably be worth a read as you will discover just how valuable you truly are! .. Much more than this world without God would have you to believe!
4/5
