An Exposé of the Self-Esteem Movement

In the highly acclaimed book "Don't Call Me Crazy: Understanding and Ending Our Gospel of Self-Esteem," author Josh McDowell and Dr. Bob Hostetler team up to unravel the dangers lurking beneath the self-esteem movement. This groundbreaking work challenges the widely held belief that self-esteem is the key to a happy and fulfilling life.

Unveiling the Gospel of Self-Esteem

McDowell and Hostetler argue that the self-esteem movement has become a "gospel" that promotes a distorted and ultimately harmful view of self. They expose the ways in which this gospel has infiltrated our culture, from schools and workplaces to churches and families.

The authors contend that the self-esteem movement has shifted the focus away from objective truth and morality, leading to a society that is increasingly self-absorbed and prone to mental health issues.

Biblical and Psychological Perspectives

"Don't Call Me Crazy" draws on both biblical and psychological perspectives to provide a balanced and comprehensive understanding of self-worth. McDowell and Hostetler show how the Bible offers a true antidote to the distortions of the self-esteem movement.

They highlight the importance of humility, gratitude, and service to others as essential elements of genuine self-worth.
