Insecurity is something all humans struggle with. Young and old, male and female, across the globe – insecurity has no boundaries. While it is a commonality among humanity, it doesn’t mean it’s something you have to live with.
Insecurity is painful for many, but there is a greater fear to drown out this lesser one. Scripture tells us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It is in this greater fear, that we learn how to grow, live, and, possibly defeat, our insecurity.

As a father trying to tackle these issues on a daily basis, I simply can’t wait to give John’s book to my own kids. It’s readable, relevant and real.

There may be no bigger problem in the lives of today’s young people than insecurity. The shame, awkwardness, and embarrassment of insecurity are perpetual and paralyzing. John Perritt gets it. With wisdom, transparency, and faithful maturity, he helps students combat the ugly feelings of insecurity with gospel grace.

Grounded in scripture, John’s words remind us where our true value comes from. It’s a lesson we can all take something from, especially today, in a world where self–worth is so closely linked with social media likes and comments.
