MORE ABOUT THE RELIEF OF IMPERFECTION
PRAISE FOR THE RELIEF OF IMPERFECTION
- "In The Relief of Imperfection, Joan throws a life preserver to women drowning in the undertow of trying to perfect themselves (and anything and anybody they touch) at the expense of their health, sanity, relationships and spiritual welfare. Grab it!" Pamela Heim, Founder, Dean of the BGC School of Women's Ministries
- "I do believe that Joan's message will help a lot of women to breathe, and that's important, I hear. Just read the title--THE RELIEF OF IMPERFECTION. Doesn't it cause your shoulders to relax? Wait until you read the rest of this book. You might just get up and dance." Nancy Kennedy, Author of When Perfect Isn't Enough
PERSONAL INVITATION FROM JOAN
Perfectionism has many faces, includes all personality styles, and cuts across cultural lines. It has to do with unreasonable expectation--how we belittle ourselves and others for having human (we translate that word as weak) thoughts and emotions, inconsistent faith or less-than-excellent plans, accomplishments, families, bodies or dreams. I invite you to join me on this exciting adventure of learning to relax as we realize that everything doesn't need to be so difficult and that some things can actually be easy, fun and smile-able. What a relief!
