description: Christians are called to be servants, caring for the needs of other people. But when these caregivers begin to forfeit their own God–given calling and identity in an unhealthy desire to please others, they move from servanthood to codependency. How can they get back on track? Readers will resonate with the real–life illustrations of people who no longer know what they think, want, or feel because they have unwittingly allowed other voices of other people to drown out the voice of God. Suggestions for redirecting unhealthy relationships will empower readers to rediscover their own value and personal contribution. Applications to the home, to work settings, and to the church will help them become more effective servants of God.
