Self-Esteem Gift from God

Improved self-esteem leads to a true evaluation and acceptance of others and ourselves. Ward challenges us to discover our uniqueness and to enjoy who we are. She encourages us to discover our God-designed temperament type in order to arrive at healthy self-esteem and self-worth. This self-acceptance automatically raises our level of understanding and lowers tension in every arena and age of life, making it “fun” to celebrate differences rather than feel obligated to think and function according to another's rules.

Self-Esteem—Gift from God answers our questions regarding the differences in people by using quizzes and real-life examples sprinkled with humor. Readers will painlessly and proudly discover that their personal preferences, though perhaps very different, are normal and “ok.” Encouragement to join hands with God by using our special gifts to improve our spiritual confidences forms the foundation of self-esteem.
