Description

“I don’t deserve to watch TV today,” whispered our six-year-old daughter through her tears.

Andrea was crushed; she had two mistakes in an inch-thick stack of school papers, the first papers she brought home. She is not alone. Many expect perfection. Grace’s Mirror: Healing for Perfectionists takes us on a journey to search for a mirror that will make the perfectionist happy. Dr. Dan Ferguson offers sound Biblical and psychological advice, leading the perfectionist to healing and recovery. Mirrors of performance and appearance won’t do the trick. Mirrors of our serving and God’s grace can triumph over perfectionism. Enriched by many anecdotes, this book shares practical, down-to-earth guidance to help the perfectionist overcome.

Perfectionism cuts a wide swath in our culture. One study by David Stoop discovered that 84 percent admitted to having perfectionistic tendencies. Perfectionists, along with those who live with them, will learn and benefit from this book. Excellence is a worthy goal, but we often go far enough to expect perfection and, consequently, pay a high price for it. Dan Ferguson has dealt with perfectionism going back to his ancestors, who landed at Plymouth Rock on the Mayflower to some in his own family to hundreds he has counseled.
