About the book:
When passivity and false niceness don't bring the abundant life Jesus promised, some Christian women try even harder to hide behind a fragile façade of pleasant perfection. Paul Coughlin and Jennifer Degler give women the empowering message that they have options far beyond simply acting nice or being mean--if they will emulate the real Jesus Christ and face their fears of conflict, rejection, and criticism. Brimming with enlightening information, thought-provoking questionnaires, real-life stories, and biblically based teaching from both the male author of the pioneering No More Christian Nice Guy and a female clinical psychologist, this book will motivate women to allow God to transform them into authentic, powerful women of loving faith.
No More Christian Nice Girl: When Just Being Nice--Instead of Good--Hurts You, Your Family, and Your Friends
As I read this book, I found the explanations accurate and the suggestions practical. Nicole, the stereotypical Christian Nice Girl (CNG), is a bit of an extreme example--but I think that most of the women who are inclined to pick up this book will see some of themselves in Nicole. I know I did.
I appreciate that No More Christian Nice Girl includes chapters on assertiveness in various situations (friendships, family relationships, work, dating, marriage)--because the same solutions don't necessarily work in all situations.

Sounds interesting...but as you say the title makes one want to shy off a bit.
ReplyDeleteThe title at first would be ahhh ... but it sounds like a great book and worth the read :)
