Crosslink Publishing Announces the Upcoming Publication of New Christian Lifestyle Book 'The Paradox of Perfection: How Embracing Our Imperfection Perfects Us'

RAPID CITY, S.D., May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Crosslink Publishing announced the upcoming publication of a new Christian Lifestyle book for June 2019, 'The Paradox of Perfection: How Embracing Our Imperfection Perfects Us' by Jeffrey Reber, Ph.D., LPC and Steven Moody, LCSW.

"The Paradox of Perfection is an important book. As a pastor of a local church, I have seen firsthand what it does to people's souls when they try to attain the unattainable ideal of perfection. People in pursuit of this goal either end up becoming Pharisees or failures. The good news is that our failures can lead us to grace and the love of Christ. The authors do a great job of pointing us in this life-giving direction." —Scott McKinney, Pastor at CenterPoint Church

Synopsis:

Americans are wealthier, smarter, and more beautiful than ever before, but we are also more depressed, anxious, and lonely. How can this be? The answer for many of us is perfectionism. Perfectionists pursue flawlessness and often reach great heights as a result, but we ultimately fall frustratingly short of our ideal. Christian perfectionists turn frustration into despair, because Christ commands us to "be ye therefore perfect, even as your father which is in heaven is perfect." This seemingly impossible demand promotes feelings of guilt, unworthiness, and discouragement. Why would God put us in such a hopeless position?

The short answer is, He didn't. In The Paradox of Perfection you will discover that the perfection Christ commands of us is actually possible here and now in this life, but to achieve it we must learn a new, properly Christian language of perfection. Relational experts, Dr. Jeffrey Reber and Steven Moody, will teach you this language and help you learn that the perfection Christ commands of you is not individual flawlessness, but a form of relationship with Him that depends precisely upon your weaknesses and imperfections, which enable Christ's perfect love within you, your marriage, your family, and your church.

The Paradox of Perfection is currently available for pre-sale on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

About the Authors: 

Jeff Reber and Steve Moody are educators and therapists who specialize in relational approaches to issues at the intersection of faith and psychology. They have given presentations on perfectionism to audiences across the continent and have published scholarly articles, book chapters, and books on this and other important societal epidemics.
