I wish this book had been around twenty years ago! I recognized myself in just about every chapter. Chris Thurman's work provides important insight into the struggles that often keep people from recognizing their full God-given potential and, better still, offers a remedy to put a stop to the "shoulding" game. Trust me when I say, you SHOULD buy this book!

"Should" is a word we've all said a million times, but Dr. Thurman insightfully helps us see how often it leads to shame, perfectionism, or a critical spirit that we need to let go of so we can become healthier, more loving people. If you want to break free from the shame and self-condemnation caused by shoulding all over yourself and experience a fuller taste of the abundant life, read this book.
