As a father trying to tackle these issues on a daily basis, I simply can’t wait to give John’s book to my own kids. It’s readable, relevant and real.

John is such a good guide for this common struggle. It turns out that we can do more than simply live with our insecurities and hope to hide them. Instead, we can listen to God, take a stand against them, and grow in wisdom.

Written for students, but useful for everyone! What Perritt does so vulnerably through his own story, is help us understand where our insecurities stem from. By identifying the sin driving our fears, he then helps us shift our eyes off of self and onto the One whom our security and rest is found.

Grounded in scripture, John’s words remind us where our true value comes from. It’s a lesson we can all take something from, especially today, in a world where self–worth is so closely linked with social media likes and comments.
