The Relief of Imperfection, For Women Who Try Too Hard to Make It Just Right, Joan C. Webb

Book Review: I bought this book when I first started my membership with Crossings. I have read it. I really did not enjoy it, but maybe it is because I do not strive to make everything just right. If you are a women that is a perfectionist and have to have everything perfect or your day just does not go right unless it is perfect then this is a great book for you to read.

Book Synopsis: Dear Lord, I pray that all limitations, weaknesses, defects, pain, hurt, mistakes, embarrassment, and imperfection in my personal and public life, relationships and circumstances be eliminated. This book is for any woman who has ever prayed this prayer or for the one who has even thought it. Joan Webb, a self-proclaimed recovering perfectionist, knows how hard it is for determined and caring women to step into the relief of imperfection. And yet, this is exactly what God wants for us. The Relief of Imperfection encourages the reader to believe the truth about God, others, herself and her reality, thus eventually releasing her from the pursuit of perfection to relax in the relief of imperfection. Webb provides real-life stories, including how Jesus lived in the midst of imperfect surroundings, to show that it is OK with God to cease trying to appear perfect and have all the right answers all the time. Readers will find permission to stop pretending and start enjoying authentic, intimate relationships with others, with themselves and with God. Courtesy of Amazon.com
