    About this ebook

    Our me-centered culture affects every area of our lives--our friendships, our marriages, even our faith. The self-focused life robs our joy, shrinks our souls, and is the reason we never quite break free of insecurity.
    Now churches and small groups can together heed the call to a bigger, Jesus-centered vision of life--one that restores our freedom and inspires us to live for more. Free of Me helps participants

    - identify the secret source of insecurity
    - understand how self-focus sabotages seven areas of our lives
    - learn four practical steps for focusing on God and others
    - experience freedom from the burden of self-focus

    Anyone yearning for a purpose bigger than "project me" will cherish this paradigm-shifting message of true fulfillment.

    Designed for use with the Free of Me DVD.
