by Cheryl Martin (Preface by)
For Women Who Want More Than Comparing, Competing, and Coveting
All of creation is content to be what it was made to be except us. Fish flourish in water. Ants are not worried about their size. But we waste time on the three C's--comparing, competing, coveting. We aim at the bull's-eye on someone else's board, pursuing a race we weren't equipped to run.
Cheryl Martin shows women how to develop their God-given uniqueness rather than becoming fixated on what they are not or do not have.
Distinctly You unveils the actions and attitudes that may be sabotaging women and explores ways women can engage and build up their unique talents, interests, and strengths. Readers will be inspired by examples in the Old and New Testaments of people who were exceptional for God's kingdom. As the author shares her ongoing quest to be distinct for his glory, readers see how God created them to thrive.
Includes end-of-chapter questions for individual or group use.

Free Yourself From the Burden to Compare and Compete
We've all heard the messages: "Aim for the top. You can be whatever you want to be." But being successful isn't just about achieving your personal goals and becoming the best at everything you set your mind to. Whether or not you win the gold medal or climb to the top slot at work, you will only find true success if you are distinctly you, the person God created you to be for His glory.
Cheryl Martin shows you how to thrive in your God-given uniqueness rather than becoming fixated on what you are not or do not have. You don't want to waste your life aiming at the bull's-eye on someone else's board, pursuing a race you were never equipped to run.
Distinctly You uses Cheryl's personal odyssey and close study of Scripture to unveil the actions and attitudes that both block and build your distinction.
Don't be fooled by internal and external doubts--God has prepared you for a unique purpose that only you can accomplish. Let this book clear the way for you to become all you were meant to be.
Includes end-of-chapter questions for individual or group use.
"
Distinctly You is an important book for today's woman. With personal vulnerability on her own journey, Cheryl gives a distinct road map to internal freedom, wholeness, and growth. I highly recommend women's groups use this for their study together."--
