Christian Newswire/ -- According to VeryWellMind.com, fear of rejection can have a far-reaching impact on our lives. It affects how we approach job interviews, dating, and even marriage. The article points out another sobering hazard: "Fearing that you will be rejected if you show your true self to the world, you may live life behind a mask. This can make you seem phony and inauthentic to others and may cause a rigid unwillingness to embrace life's challenges." *
Author Gail Porter understands fear of rejection well. She says, "I lived with this kind of fear during my childhood and most of my adult life. When God revealed my bondage to the power of fear, I was set free to come out of hiding and become who He'd created me to be. What I learned grew into a passion to help others experience the same freedom." She is offering this help through her new book, Will the Real Person Please Stand Up? Rising Above the Fear of Rejection. The book takes readers through a three-part process of identifying and acknowledging what is holding them captive, taking steps to break strongholds in God's power, and tasting freedom from bondage. It stands out from other works on fear in general and fear of failure in that it zeroes in on what causes people to devise strategies to stay hidden. Gail points out, "Another unique difference is that readers of this book will not only be able to identify their problem with fear of rejection, but they will receive hope that they can be set free to become a 'real' person."
Gail's hope is that those who read Will the Real Person Please Stand Up? Rising Above the Fear of Rejection will walk out of their self-made prisons, begin to live the abundant life God created them for, and stand up and say, "This is the real me."
