Comparison Girl by Shannon Popkin – Book Review
Are you in the habit of constantly comparing yourself to others? Do you measure your success, in part, by identifying the things you have achieved in life and assessing how they measure up to others? Do you strive to achieve perfectionism so that others will not be privy to your failures, shortcomings and inadequacies?
If so, you may be a “comparison girl”, but there’s good news – Shannon Popkin can help you break this destructive cycle!
Shannon, the popular author of Control Girl, has just released her follow-up book, Comparison Girl: Lessons From Jesus On Me-Free Living In A Measure-Up World. This easy-to-read book is full of biblical teachings that will take everything you thought you knew about comparison and turn it upside down on its head!
In this Bible study, Shannon focuses on six “red-letter” teachings of Jesus featuring Bible stories and comparisons that can help you to realign your thinking from the me-centered comparison traps of the world to the me-free mindset of Christ. As you move through the study, you’ll focus less on yourself and your inadequacies (which lead to a host of undesirable feelings and behaviors) and more on the unique gifts God has given you that you can use to serve others (which leads you to focus on others, identify their needs, and serve them with joy!)
Comparison Girl is a wonderful book to study on your own or with your friends. I appreciate Shannon’s authenticity and her transformational biblical insights into this topic!
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Thanks for the recommendation Michele – will have to check it out! 🙂
I need this book so that maybe I can learn to stop comparing myself to others which I know I shouldn’t do.
Can’t wait to give this one a read! Comparison is one of my biggest enemies.

Comparing myself to others is one of my greatest weaknesses and makes me feel jealous and down more often than not. Comparison is the thief of joy! It is a habit I need to break!
