Approval Addiction
Overcoming Your Need to Please Everyone

By Joyce Meyer
Read by Pat Lentz

     "Knowledge leads to deliverance." - Approval Addiction by Joyce Meyer

     In Approval Addiciton, Joyce Meyer asks her Christian audience if they "live under a burden of guilt and condemnation, feeling unrighteous, unworthy and insecure while looking for the approval of others." If this sounds like you, then Meyer has the spiritual answers to help you regain your personal joy and become a better person.

     Meyer tells us the "need for approval and acceptance from others affects your personal relationships, your prayer life and your personal ability to be promoted in life."

     Her three-part program on conquering approval addiction starts with "accepting who we are in Christ, understanding we aren't perfect and that it is okay." The second part is addressing "specific addictions that hinder our walk with God and how we can overcome them." Part three contains the general truths about "our wholeness with God and where we're heading in our lives." Through personal examples and relative scriptures, Meyer shows God's people how to improve their lives and please God without selling out to others. The more Meyer personally grows in Christ, the stronger her messages to fellow believers become. I highly recommend this inspiring, self-help book to all true believers.

     Actress Patricia Lentz narrates the audio version of Approval Addiction. She recently read In Pursuit of Peace, also by Joyce Meyer. Lentz's calm voice takes listeners quickly through the book and on to a better walk with God.
