About this audiobook
We live in a culture that's all about self, becoming the best "me" I can be instead of becoming like Jesus. This me-centered message affects every area of our lives--our friendships, our marriages, even our faith--and it breaks each one in different ways. The self-focused life robs our joy, shrinks our souls, and is the reason we never quite break free of insecurity. In this book, Sharon Hodde Miller invites us into a bigger, Jesus-centered vision--one that restores our freedom and inspires us to live for more. She helps readers - identify the secret source of insecurity - understand how self-focus sabotages seven areas of our lives - learn four practical steps for focusing on God and others - experience freedom from the burden of self-focus Anyone yearning for a purpose bigger than "project me" will cherish this paradigm-shifting message of true fulfillment.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brilliant book with unique insights, I throughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone that would like a freah perspective on their own life, and thier life with God.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5For a book that is called Free of Me there is a lot of focus on the author. Let's focus more on Christ and His Person and Work.
I do know I have theological differences with the author and so the book just didn't appeal to me. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is amazing. It is challenging to read, just for the fact that it is so very convicting. Thank you so much for this book!
