Are you a people pleaser? Can you even begin to measure how the approval of others has shaped your heart and mind? Your faith and relationships? Your habits and identity?

From childhood to early adulthood, Jinger Duggar Vuolo followed the expectations of others, never taking the time to discover who she truly was. It wasn't until she asked herself the question, "Who am I?" that she realized she was a people pleaser. This realization led her on a journey of self-discovery and ultimately, to rely on God for her approval and sense of self-worth. Through her faith and reliance on God, Jinger began to break free from the need for approval and discover true freedom. This book is a guide for anyone struggling with people-pleasing tendencies and seeking to find their true identity and purpose in life. Learn how to: - discover the beauty of community and how we were made to enjoy others, - identify sin and how it can hinder your ability to be in community with one another, - diagnose yourself with ruthless honesty but without judgement, and - understand who you are in God's eyes. Jinger hopes this book will inspire others to embark on a similar journey towards freedom.
