Sabotage: How Insecurity Destroys Everything

by Trinity Jordan

Without proper respect for ourselves, we don’t really live connected with God and others the way God has designed. During fourteen years of pastoral ministry Trinity Jordan has walked with a lot of people through their struggles. What he has noticed is that THIS is really about THAT in their lives. The THAT is almost always rooted in insecurity. Our unlove, lack of confidence, and acceptance of ourselves have alienated us from God and others. When Jesus says the greatest commandment is to love God and love others as we love ourselves--the key in that verse is us loving ourselves. Insecurity sabotages the abundant life God has for us here on earth.  Sabotage deals with the root issues behind our insecurities, including comparing ourselves with others, lies we tell ourselves, discontent, and more. Addressing these issues will result in healthy relationships across the board--coworkers, church members, spouses, children, strangers, friends, family, and GOD.

There are some wonderful words of wisdom and self-learning in this book, and the second half is significantly better than the first, although the content is consistently good. The difference in the second half is that:

Trinity actually manages.
Finally.
To put more than five words together.
To form a single sentence.
And even to put two sentences together to form a paragraph.
Instead of single lines forming entire paragraphs.
Over.
And over.
And over again.

If you can get past this writing style, which is much better in the media of the spoken word of an orator rather than a writer, then the content is very refreshing.3.5/5

I gave it 3 stars because fortunately I didn’t relate to much of it. I do not grow up in a broken home and I never wanted or wore designer clothes ( still don’t) I never wanted to fit in I didn’t (still don’t) I was never part of the “in” crowd. I didn’t want to fit in I wanted to stand out. However the book has an interesting take on Jacob and Esau and good points especially the last 2 chapters. The book is well worth reading and I’d like the author to write another book about Joseph this time.

While I didn’t connect with all aspects of this book, I really appreciated the overall message of trusting in God.

Let Go and Let God.

Clear and concise ideas, that I think will help me in the long run. I do focus more on things that I really shouldn't, and get jealous of others for what they have. It's definitely a bad habit that I need to break and this book certainly reinforced my need to think and move forward.

I know God is on my side, I just have to pay attention to what's at hand, have humility and faith to be strong.

That said, his writing style was rather annoying. It was more suited as a speech than a book. It definitely needs some better editing.

Each of us has insecurity. This authors helps us live in the freedom of Christ. I found this book to be OK but not profound. Part of that may be because I am a senior citizen and have worked through most of what he writes about. For someone young and facing deep insecurities, this would be an encouraging book. I think it would be best read with someone else so the concepts could be discussed. See my complete review at http://bit.ly/1b2jOVy.
