 Once again, Beth Moore has inspired me February 15, 2010

Review by Jill Williamson
I love Beth Moore. I've never met her, but I've done several of her Bible studies and had the privilege of attending one of her conferences. The woman inspires me. Why? Because she's real. She's suffered through life, just like the rest of us, and she refuses to let that define her. Praise Jesus for that! That, and her passion for studying the Word of God, draws me, and thousands of other women, to her like sheep to a shepherd. She is a disciple of Jesus. She teaches His truth in a wonderful, personal, life-changing way.
So when I saw this book, I knew I needed it. I've always had low self-esteem. And I am plagued by insecurity. The smallest little comment will send me into a spiral of woe. One example, I have the nasty habit of interpreting faces. I can read minds, too, you know. If someone looks at me funny, I know I did something to make them upset with me, and I can't stand it until I know everything is okay again. I've also trained myself to interpret email tones. I entertain my husband every time I read an email to him. He says I read every word with a negative, attacking tone, as if the author has a personal agenda against me--or someone.
One of my husband's most telling phrases is: It must be exhausting being you.
Well, ouch.
But he's right. It is exhausting being so insecure. I don't mean to do this to myself. And I'm tired of it. And a bit ticked off, as Beth was in the beginning of her book. Having read the book, I will say that I now have confidence that I can beat this thing. Insecurity distracts our minds from living the life God intends for us. It keeps us weak instead of strong. It keeps us distant instead of loving. It keeps us judging instead of reaching out and building lasting friendships.
Once again, Beth Moore has inspired me. I'm saying, "So long, Insecurity! You don't own this girl!" Whoo hoo! Now that's something to get excited about. If you've ever felt insecure, sit down and talk it out with Beth. And that's exactly what this book was. A nice, long, heart to heart with Beth Moore about a topic that plagues us. I highly recommend it.

Today Beth Moore's newest book titled "So Long Insecurity: You've been a bad friend to us" is released in stores. I had the privilege of previewing the book. Beth says in the opening of this book that this is as close to an autobiography as she's ever written. Her humble and open heart is spilled out on every page as she openly shares her own insecurities.
Beth defines insecurity plain and simply: "not secure". Then she goes further in each chapter digging down into the depths of insecurity from self-doubt to perfectionism to preoccupation with self - she reveals many types of insecurities we all deal with.
She reminds us that all we have to do is be born on planet earth to be insecure. A host of troubles are common to humankind. We should be careful who we covet or who we judge as "having it all". Nobody has everything! We think - well if I had that house or that body or that pretty face or that fabulous man or that degree I'd be secure too. But what we are saying is money, beauty, a great man, or prestige will make us secure. That is all false!
At one point she says "women use men like mirrors" to see if they are okay. In our media saturated culture, the bar for beauty has been raised to a standard that our grandma's did not have to deal with!
So what do we do with all these insecurities? Psalm 29:11 says "The Lord gives his people strength; the Lord grants his people security." There is nothing secure in this world - we must cling to Jesus for our strength and security. This book is a great reminder of God's truth on security.
Walk with the King!

I am reading this book along with blogging on the Living Proof Ministries (Beth's site) and have found the book very insightful. I never have considered myself insecure, but have found by reading this book that my insecurities are covered by my control issues. I would suggest this book to anyone.
Finally saying so long to insecurity!!! April 26, 2010

Beloved women's speaker and author Beth Moore's latest book, So Long, Insecurity (Tyndale), is her most personal book to date. Moore, who has helped countless ladies break free, get out of pits, and dive deep into Scripture with studies on Jesus, Paul, David, and Esther, is now combating a stronghold in the lives of many women--insecurity.
Moore describes So Long, Insecurity as "one woman's quest for a real, lasting, soul-changing security" in God, instead of finding that security in self or others. The first part of the book identifies insecurity by its roots stemming from instability in the home, a significant loss, rejection, dramatic change, personal limitations, personal disposition, our culture, and pride. Moore further explains these "roots of insecurity" and like always uses a ton of Scripture to build her case.
While the book magnifies a woman's vulnerabilities, particularly involving image, Moore urges women to "press through the discomfort" so that the reader no longer has to "live in denial and bondage." Being a woman who battles a ton of insecurity, I didn't just read So Long, Insecurity objectively; I took Moore's advice to heart. I saw myself in so many of her illustrations; I knew my heart was ready for a revolution.
Fortunately, Moore doesn't just identify and define all areas of insecurity and give us a look at a man's insecurities, she also offers practical advice saturated in Scripture that allows women to begin their journeys toward freedom. I cannot more highly recommend this book for every woman out there who hates her reflection in the mirror, who is exhausted from the illusion of perfectionism, who thinks she is unworthy of love, who was born on planet Earth.
So Long, Insecurity has tremendously impacted my life, the way I think about myself, and the way I know that God relates to me. Because of the life-changing content and prayer exercises, the book can take a while to read. But, remember, insecurity took years to take hold, so it won't just magically disappear overnight. Reading this book changed my life and had emboldened me to live a life secure in the love of God. If you are a captive in the prison of insecurity, then So Long, Insecurity is your key to freedom.

This book is a must read for every woman in the world. It's so awesome it's like taking a trip but not having to leave your house. You'll learn so much about yourself and feel so incredibly lifted. Quoting from the book, you'll be "clothed in strength and dignity." Thank you, Beth Moore for this wonderful eye opening book.
