Dr. Jay Adams evaluates the self-esteem movement and offers a truly biblical view of self.

Who am I?
Why am I here?
Where am I going?

Familiar questions in our day and age. But has our search for answers led us too far in the wrong direction: away from our true position in Christ and toward a dangerous emphasis on self?

The last 15 years has seen the rise of a powerful and influential movement within the church. Easily identified by labels such as "self-image," "self-esteem," "self-worth," and "self-love," this movement has one common denominator - the emphasis on self. Regardless of religious persuasion, everyone seems to be fighting what they perceive to be a shared enemy: low self-esteem.

Dr. Jay Adams evaluates the self-esteem movement and offers a truly biblical view of self.
