I am hesitant to write this because I don't give negative reviews easily. I went in to this book coming from a time of feeling overwhelmed and looking for ways I might thoughtfully remove some portions of all I have on my plate. In other words I had positive expectations. Unfortunately, while I had a couple of "that's a good point" moments, most of the book left me feeling not only disturbed but sometimes downright angry.

Wow she knocks it out of the park with this one. I love the subtitle - "Stop Pretending Everything is Fine..." Oh, is that ever a timely statement for the church today. She's talking to Christians here folks. A friend told me about this book a year ago, but I just got it, and chapters like "Quit Lying," "Quit Denying Anger, Sadness, and Fear," "Quit Overfunctioning" (doing other people's jobs for them) are so rockin'! I read the whole thing pretty fast and steady. Although the concepts are defin...more
I Quit! Stop Pretending Everything is Fine and Change your Life by Geri Scazzero
This book is for those who think they have to live two lives: the Christian one and the other one. This book is for those who think they have to put on a Christian façade. This book is for those who think the Christian life is all about sacrifice. This book is for those who think the Christian life is fake. I also think this book is for adults with self-esteem issues.

Despite receiving this book back in October, I just finished it earlier this week. Not because of the length; this book is fairly short - just over 200 pages.
No, it took me so long because it was difficult reading. Not due to vocabulary or tone, but how close to home it hit.

I don't completely identify with the author's personality, but this book has many helpful tips that I think I might reference in the future. I think this is the type of book that I might re-read through different phases of my marriage & family life. I would most definitely recommend this book to Christian women married to busy men whether in ministry or some other career that overlaps home life (like military, etc.).
Love, love, love this book, so much so that I had our Women's Ministry Team read it as well as our Pastor's wives. Great reviews from all and great discussions within our WM team. I highly recommend it to all Pastor's wives and women in Ministry.
I enjoyed this look atsome of the things we do in our lives which are at least not helpful and at most self-destructive. I liked that while it was coming from a Christian perspective and the author is a minister's wife, I still felt that the message would be good for my non-churchy friends.
Very helpful book with some really good questions to ponder. Very useful to me.

Some chapters may make you take stock of your own life; others may not be so helpful.
This was a great book about how to change your life. She gives many practical ways to change your situation, your thinking and helps you recognize faulty beliefs that keep us from living the life God wants us to live. A must read for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life.
Este no en un libro solo para mujeres, en particular esposas de pastores, sino para ambos géneros. Se requiere una profunda auto evaluación, y rendición a Dios para vivir con brutal honestidad ocupado de agradar a Dios, amando a todos pero con la verdad
Great book about living your own life regardless of what others might think and expect. Loved all of the insight and empowerment to living the best, healthy, honest with MYSELF life!
Not sure if I'm going to like this as much as the other two Scazzero books, but I'm going to read it before I go to a conference with her in October....
Didn't really connect with this one.
enjoyed discussing it with a great group of women. different chapters grab different people...there is something for everyone.
