Some Christian women have equated Christian submissiveness and 'dying to self' with low-esteem and self-rejection. Instead of walking with God, letting life flow from the Source she is deeply connected to, she ends up becoming weaker, by avoiding hard choices, being overly nice to keep the peace, and losing herself in relationships. She views the scriptures as a checklist for success, turning Bible verses into stifling legalisms as she tries harder and harder to be a submissive Christian woman.

But the gospel offers new life in Christ to whosoever will come to him. It holds out hope and freedom to all those who will live truthfully, in joyful submission to Christ above everything and everyone else. It embraces humanity and imperfection instead of success formulas, and it describes a life of personal holiness and purpose, achieved only through trust, obedience, and a fierce yieldedness to the One leading the way.

Discover the subtle myths that may be holding you back from walking, skipping, or dancing in step with Christ. The author shows readers how to identify and exchange their wrong beliefs - the myths - for the truth. She concludes by explaining what dying to self really means, and how to become alive to God. The book provides questions for reflection and study at the end of each chapter for those who want to dig deeper, and group guidelines for those who want to discuss this topic further in a group.
