WHY DO I CARE?
Answer to the Big Questions In life
By Edward T. Welch
OVERVIEW: Peer pressure, codependency, shame, low self-esteem--these are just some of the words used to identify how people are controlled by others' opinions. Why is it so important to be liked? Why is rejections so traumatic? Edward T. Welch's insightful, biblical answers to these questions show that freedom from others' opinions and genuine, loving relationships grow as we learn about ourselves, others, and God. This interactive book includes questions for individual or group study and is suitable for teenagers and young adults.

Goodness, I wish this book was around when I was young ... constantly changing and rearranging ... in an effort to be liked.
Still, I become a "chameleon on plaid" on occasion .. navigating workplace politics or the unfamiliar. Thank God(!) those days are further and further apart!
I so hope this book receives wide acclaim and the young people who "get" the message don't feel compelled to compromise!
