My Own Worst Enemy by Janet Davis show women how to stop sabataging themselves and learn how to "shine". the book is composed of three sections-"Many Faces", "Many Phases", and "Choices Along The Way". In each section are several chapters dealing with ways women so often stop themselves from doing or saying what they really want to out of fear and/or a feeling of unimportance, thinking no one would really want to hear their opinions and ideas. Janet Davis takes examples of select women from the Bible as well as women today and their stories and ties it all together. She also includes the readers, asking them to tell their own stories by listing questions for them to answer and encouraging them with quizes, etc., to overcome their own self-sabatoging ways. She includes her own story as well of how she has been a self-sabatoger. Each chapter is begun with a saying, a poem and/or a Bible verse which gives the reader a sample in an interesting way about the chapter's content.
I really enjoyed the book because it is not only an easy read but is inspirational and let's the reader know their situation is not hopeless, that they can indeed be a success in their lives and truly "SHINE" as God intended them to. The reader is encouraged to realize that "shining is not pride" and "hiding is not humility".
I recommend "Our Own Worst Enemy" to any woman who has difficulty in coming out of their shell so to speak and make known the positive things they have to share.
I received this book from Bethany House Publishers in return for an honest review. The words are my own.
