Pleasing People: How Not to Be an Approval Junkie (Book/ Paperback)

Product Overview

Full of Scripture and challenging to the reader, Pleasing People takes aim at a problem common in all of us: the desire to be liked by others. But the book also wisely delineates when pleasing people is biblical. The penetrating exercises throughout the text will help readers see how this sin manifests itself in their lives. Pleasing People will be useful for both personal reading and group study.

"It is exciting to see Pleasing People come to fruition. I have personally witnessed Lou Priolo’s expertise in helping those enslaved to the popular lust of approval. From his years of counseling experience, he has developed a work that exposes many of its prideful manifestations, while also walking the reader through the biblical process of repentance from the heart. This is a book that God can use greatly to change lives." --Stuart Scott

"Lou Priolo has written an extremely biblical and practical book to help the “people pleaser.” Even if you think you do not have this weakness, you may be convicted that you do! The strength of this book are the biblical principles, the charts with wrong compared to right ways to think, and how to become a “God pleaser.” I am very pleased to have this resource to help people and I highly endorse it.” --Martha Peace Biblical Counselor and Author of “The Excellent Wife” and “Damsels in Distress”
