Love Idol by Jennifer Dukes Lee is NOT a self help book, nor is it your typical Christian Life book. Jennifer's words are brave and hard as she stands before us and God in transparent honesty, revealing how deep the need for approval has buried roots. This could be my story. This could be your story. The problem is so universal that every reader will see themselves reflected, not always in a flattering light.
I must admit I am having difficulty working my way through Love Idol - because I am holding the book in one hand and a highlighting pen in the other. There isn't a page that isn't marked with bright colour.
Yes, the words are that good. That good indeed! I know I will return to this volume again and again. Reading it is almost like a prayer of repentance and surrender.
Lives are changing as idols are exposed, thrown aside and smashed to pieces.

I so think I need to read this book! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like good reading.
Karin, I know what you mean about the reading of this book. I had to have a pencil in hand for underlining, and have every 10th page or so folded down on the corners. This book is about so much more than seeking man's approval--it's about all of our Christian walk. Good review.
