About this listen

Help for those struggling with perfectionism and guilt in their Christian walk.

Many Christians, often without even realizing it, struggle with a type of Christian perfectionism. We strive to please God but are plagued with anxiety about making mistakes. We want to do God’s will but live with a self-berating inner voice even as we seek to serve him. We sincerely believe the gospel and love Jesus but struggle with never feeling good enough before God.

How can Christians wholeheartedly pursue God without an undercurrent of guilt, fear, or anxiety? How can imperfect people experience God's peace while seeking to obey his perfect standards?

Author Faith Chang addresses the struggles of her fellow "Christian perfectionists" through meditations on God’s character. With nuance and care, she writes for those who seek to grow in Christ and live for God’s glory yet live in fear of failure. She explores the Bible to show that as God deals with us as in-process people, he is far more merciful, righteous, and patient than we may have imagined. As we consider how he interacts bountifully with us, the weary and scrupulous Christian perfectionist will be freed to pursue God while experiencing his love and peace.

There are prayers between each chapter for specific situations Christian perfectionists face, such as “A Prayer for When You Feel You’re a Fake.” Reflection questions are included for those listening to the book in small groups or one on one.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Faith Chang’s Peace over Perfection is a well written, beautifully narrated, and concise book perfect for someone struggling with perfectionism in their faith journey. I found her writing very approachable and relatable and what she covers captures exactly what I needed to hear as someone trying to rely less on my own works and more on God’s grace. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic book for spiritual perfectionists

I was worried that this would be about “doing better” and “trying harder” (what perfectionists strive for). What I found was more of God’s loving character and his grace and kindness to hopeless sinners. This book is for every Christian and it is delivered with gracious words. This is the comfort and hope we all need as weary strugglers.
