The Spiritual Dimensions of Self-Esteem - Softcover

The fact that we are made in the image and likeness of God provides us with a solid basis upon which to build a healthy self-esteem. This spiritual dimension of our lives is explored here in depth from both a biblical and a psychological perspective keeping in mind that growth in self-esteem is a journey of the spirit led by the Spirit of God and not a destination.
