The Perfect Mold

If you’re tired of trying to be perfect, maybe it’s time to rest in someone who already is. Perfectionism isn’t about high standards; it’s about fear. Fear of failure. Fear of not being enough. Fear that unless you are flawless, you won't be loved. For many, it’s not just a mindset, it’s a form of shame-based survival. But Scripture doesn’t treat perfectionism with productivity. It treats it with a person — Jesus.

All human beings are made in God’s image, and so we are called not to idolize man, but to reflect Jesus. To reflect Jesus is to love like He does—both others and ourselves. The Golden Rule clearly says that we are to love: love God, love ourselves, and love others. (Matthew 22:37-39, Mark 12:30-31, Luke 10:27) But, how do you love God when you've lost everything? How do you love yourself when you know you've failed? How do you love others who have hurt you?

The Perfect Mold aims to be the most helpful guide to living the Golden Rule. We wrote this book because we needed something just like this. We hope that reading it blesses you.

You'll receive insight on:

- A Biblical view of the 7 Stages of Grief

- Questions to determine God’s will for your life

- Steps for rebuilding your life when everything has collapsed

- Insightful questions for major life decisions

- Guidance through tender moments of anger, betrayal, and hatred

Christians have debated the issue of perfection for a long time. This book focuses on settling this debate, and hopes to give you the connection to God, yourself, and others that you need.
