Description
Are you in 'The Comparison Trap'? Too often, women hold each other back, bad mouthing and making unflattering comparisons. Social media gives extra opportunities for negative comment.
What would happen, asks Helen Roberts, if women ceased to compete and compare? What if we settled our conflicts and resolved instead to champion one another? To celebrate each other's victories?
In The Comparison Trap Helen explores the complexities of female relationships in workplaces, families and friendship circles, using contemporary, historical, personal and biblical examples.
This book is for women who want to establish healthy habits, enabling their relationships to thrive. This will help them to live more confidently as the daughters the Father intends us to be, free from envy or comparison.
