Freedom from the Performance Trap (The Recovery Bookshelf) by David Seamand
A great book about how grace is meant to invade all areas of our lives. Grace will help us avoid the ‘performance trap’ and ‘perfectionism’ that pervades the church and causes the ruin of many Christians

Had to read this for a class at Cincinnati Christian University. It wasn't bad, and was not in anyway offensive or "wrong." I just didn't care - I don't particularly like his writing style, and didn't feel like he was saying anything particularly new. I would imagine there are a great deal of people who really could learn a lot from this message - but I think the way the church I'm a part of operates, that this isn't a huge connection point to how I actually live.

Not something I would read again..
Too involved in details.
Lots of charts etc which some might well find useful??

I recommend this book for anyone from a Christian background who struggles with perfectionism. Good solid counsel.
Quote from Zbigniew Stypułkowski about an interrogation during WWII:
"I never felt it was necessary to justify myself with excuses. When they showed me I was a coward, I already knew it...When they showed me a reflection of myself with all my inadequacies, I said to them, 'But gentlemen, I am much worse than that. ' For you see, I had learned it was unnecessary for me to justify myself. One had already done that for me..."

A good, easy-to-read, yet profound book. I would consider it to be essential reading for anyone who considers themselves to be a Christian.
