I’m Not OK: Defeating the Root of Pride and Discovering the Grace of God

by Paul Chappell

We all prefer to think that the difficulties we experience are a result of our jobs, spouses, parents, or just a “thing” we’re going through in life. And so, we want help to fix the people around us, the circumstances which have befallen us, or the problems assaulting us. But fix us? No, we’re okay.

But what if our self diagnosis is wrong? What if we’re not okay?

Pride causes us to exaggerate our ability and underestimate Satan’s. It undermines relationships and makes us vulnerable to temptation.

In these pages, explore what God’s Word teaches about pride and discover how you can find freedom and peace by receiving the grace of God to deal with the pride that besets us all.

Reviews

[Susan Abbett]

Ouch...but a good ouch.

[Mark McElreath]

A quick little read that delves into the deceitfulness of pride. Too often pride is unseen, mislabeled, or just entirely overlooked, but this book helps to root it out and call it what it is.

[Cynthia L.]

Paul Chappell is such a great writer. His books are so easy to understand. This book was very convicting, but that is why I wanted to read it. Highly recommend!!

[Billy]

Very helpful book and points out everything I need to know how to overcome pride. Yes, pride is the most ugly thing to take notice. It does help to recognize that prides comes in every size, shape and form. Highly recommend.
