Self-esteem is a problem for many people today, including Christians. Low self-esteem can hinder people from achieving their potential and prevent even the most dedicated from fulfilling God's purpose in their lives. Properly understood, the gospel provides an important answer to low self-esteem, for the heart of our confidence lies in the cross of Christ.
In this important book Joanne McGrath, a psychologist and Alister McGrath, a theologian, explore a number of crucial questions including:
What is self-esteem?
Are Christians allowed to have positive self-esteem?
What about sin and humility?
Are psychological approaches to counselling anti-Christian?
How can I nurture a proper confidence in myself and in other people?
