In the style of C.S. Lewis, Brett Glover's inspired parables humbly invite you to encounter spiritual truths about our time. They show you how grace (God-esteem) and self-esteem are in conflict. As you read, you will discover the true nature of self-esteem and your definition of success will change from a focus on one's self to a kingdom-of-God worldview. You will see how striving to be a hero will make you into villain, why hunting treasure will cause you to lose true riches, and why dressing up as eye candy will turn you into a devil! This book explains why violence and abuse is on the increase, why depression has skyrocketed into an epidemic, and what causes our global suffering.

:Modern relationships often focus on high or low self-esteem. I hear it all the time: "I have low self-esteem; that?s why I am a doormat!" Or, "She has it all together. Look at her self-confidence. It makes her so sexy!"
Yet before the 1950s, social problem-solvers didn?t consider high or low self-esteem as important. It is fascinating now to find complete diagnoses based on low self-esteem. Raising self-esteem seems always to be the solution.
I happen to believe that self-esteem is a social fabrication; it exists only because we give it meaning. It has no basis in truth or objective reality. Self-esteem is nothing short of an invention to try to give people meaning and value without God. excerpt from page 69
