Are you obsessed? We can all feel that way at times--when all our thoughts, time, and energy are poured into something all-consuming. But for too many teen girls, obsession becomes a way of life.
In Obsessed, bestselling author Hayley DiMarco helps those girls leave behind the thoughts, actions, and stuff that so easily get between them and God. She challenges them to look at three key areas where it all tends to start:
obsession with losing (fear, worry, stress, busyness)
obsession with gaining (love, stuff, success)
obsession with numbing (addiction, cutting, eating, purging, controlling, comfort)
Obsessed helps girls to identify the unhealthy affections in their lives and points them to God to be set free from them. Life’s pursuits aren’t inherently bad, DiMarco reminds girls, but the level of devotion you give to them can make them bad for you. When you put God in his proper place, the other stuff goes to its proper place as well. And the result is a life rightly obsessed with God.
From the Back Cover
You were made to be obsessed.
Have you ever found yourself obsessed over something? So consumed with something that you can hardly even think of anything else? A relationship, a new phone, a perfect body, your reputation, good grades, the most unique style--anything can leave you obsessed.
But God wants you to be obsessed with him. And only him. With God, it’s all or nothing.
In Obsessed, bestselling author Hayley DiMarco helps you break free from the thoughts, actions, and stuff that so easily get between you and God. She helps you identify the life-draining desires in your life and shows you how to replace them with life-giving ones.
You were born to worship and to tell others about who (or what) you love. When you put God in his proper place, everything else falls beneath him. And the result is a life rightly obsessed with God.
