Pleasing People

Author: Lou Priolo

Are you a people pleaser? Are you addicted to approval? from others, and would do just about anything to get that approval? Biblical counselor Lou Priolo exposes all the prideful manifestations of this problem and, as always, offers solid, systematic Biblical solutions! Even readers who feel that they do not have this problem should read this helpful book, because what you dona€t know can and will hurt you and others.

“Lou Priolo has written an extremely biblical and practical book to help the ‘people pleaser.’ Even if you think you do not have this weakness, you may be convicted that you do! The strength of this book are the biblical principles, the charts with wrong compared to right ways to think, and how to become a ‘God pleaser.’ I am very pleased to have this resource to help people and I highly endorse it.”
