\u201cI can almost hear your question. The . . .\xa0what\xa0idol? Love Idol? How can love be an idol? Love was God\u2019s idea. We were created in God\u2019s image, and God\xa0is\xa0love!

Paul wrote to the Corinthians: \u2018These three remain: faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love.\u2019 Yet we take God\u2019s \u2018greatest\u2019 and contort it into an idol. We twist our desire for approval into a false god. . .

This book is for any of us who want to live content in God\u2019s perfect love, freed up from the wearying demands of the Love Idol.\u201d

\xa0Moving from an award-winning news reporter to farmer\u2019s wife, Jennifer found her need for other\u2019s approval followed her like a parasite.

She chronicles her journey of (continued) healing in her new book,\xa0\u201cLove Idol: Letting go of your need for approval\u2013and seeing yourself through God\u2019s eyes\u201d, which released last week \xa0(Get a copy here).\xa0\xa0

Can you relate to craving love so greatly it becomes the driving force to all your decisions and actions?

I definitely can.\xa0People pleasing consumes my thoughts, my time, and my energy. \xa0So, I\u2019m forever grateful to Jennifer for writing this fabulous book and for taking the time to chat about it on this week\u2019s GCM podcast.
