Even If You Were Perfect, Someone Would Crucify You: Stop trying to please people. Start pleasing God (Faith)

"In short, digestible chapters Shepherd shares several truths every human needs to know . . . You'll enjoy reading and laughing your way through this book!" (Terrace Crawford, nationally recognized speaker amp; author of Going Social ). He should have seen it coming. Anonymous letters are rarely good. On the day after preaching a sermon at his church, Rob Shepherd opened a letter filled with hurtful words and a very strong opinion about how awful his sermon was. On his fourth reading of the letter, Rob heard a still small voice say, "Even if you preached the perfect sermon somebody would crucify it." That thought began the process of setting Rob free from being a lifelong people pleaser. With humor, personal stories, and great conviction Rob shares his personal story of learning to care less about what people say and more about what God says. Even If You Were Perfect Somebody Would Crucify You uncovers what our real struggle is when it comes to pleasing people. You can be set free from the fear of saying no to people, win the battle with avoiding confrontation, learn the power of confession, and find your true identity in Jesus. "This book will nail you in regards to cutting out the paralyzing noises of life and opinions of others. Be ready for a tugging at your heart to rest and rediscover your identity FULLY in Him." #8212;Chad Johnson, director of the Catalyst Conference Nobody's perfect and yet we try so hard to be. The opinions of others matter so much that it drives many to become "people pleasers." The problem is that you are not perfect and even if you did something perfectly somebody would find a way to crucify your work. Since we can't please all people all of the time we should strive to please the only perfect person to ever live, Jesus
