An Eight Week Study on Pleasing God Above All Others Do you worry about what people think of you? Do you commit to obligations without thinking? Do you often convince yourself you're not upset but feel bitter later? Do you avoid conflict? Imagine what life would be like if you were concerned only with pleasing God and not with winning the approval of others. The root of people-pleasing is fearing man more than God. In this book, we discuss how to covercome fears of exposing your true self, not fitting in, and experiencing negative reactions from others. In turn, you will discover the freedom of complete truth and vulnerability and the joy of deep, meaningful relationships. God wants to offer you complete inner peace, replacing your guilt and fear with confidence. Amanda Kelsch has led campus, singles, and marrieds ministries on two church plantings.
