La Trampa de la Comparacion: Como Celebrar la Manera en Que Dios Me Ha Creado
Resumen del Libro
Oh, Lord, I breathed as I sat on the platform at a meeting. "Look at that chic speaker three chairs down. Why did I wear beige? They won't be able to see me against the curtains!" I've always struggled with comparisons. I had a sister I adored and I wanted to be just like her. I had a friend with cute freckles on her nose and I wanted freckles too.
