I’m Too Human To Be Like Jesus.
By Poppy Smith
I just finished your book, "I’m Too Human To Be Like Jesus." It was wonderful! I have recommended it to lots of friends. What an inspiration it has been to me. I feel so blessed to have had the chance to read it. Ruth A.
Among the heart cries that not-so-perfect woman, Poppy Smith, addresses are
• How Can I Be More Like You, Lord?
• Does It Matter What I Think?
• You Mean, I Have to Change My Attitude?
• How Can I Stand in Life’s Storms?
• Can My Stumbling Blocks Become Stepping Stones?
True, sometimes growing more like Jesus can seem to be frustratingly slow, at a bumbling-around, falling-down and picking-yourself-back-up pace, but inner change can happen. How? Not by lengthening the list of things you should be doing and heaping on the guilt. Nor by waiting passively for God to transform you by waving some kind of magic wand. Instead, spiritual growth comes by listening to God, taking hold of His power, and acting on what He says.
I’m Too Human to Be Like Jesus provides more than inspiration. It gives you practical ways to become the woman you long to be. With thought provoking questions throughout each chapter and discussion questions at the end, this book is ideal for group discussion or individual study.
Endorsement:
"Poppy Smith’s book is definitely a MUST READ for mommas…really for all women. Her book, I’m Too Human to be Like Jesus is a breath of fresh air for every follower of Christ who isn’t perfect—especially the ones who feel like they have to be. Poppy assures you that although you may not be the perfect mom, and although you may have an occasional mommy meltdown, God still loves you, does not condemn you and He still wants to give you the wisdom you need to be the best mom you can be for your children.”

"You have no idea how grateful I am for God bringing you into my life! You are impacting me and those close to me with your incredible words of wisdom and encouragement in the scriptures. I am sure you don't realize that I think of you as a mentor without actually meeting with you. You speak to me from the pages of your book which is so well written, and so absolutely perfect for where I'm at!"
"I was delighted to receive a copy of Poppy Smith's I'm Too Human to Be Like Jesus to review. Using her own vulnerable and transparent life examples, as well as those of others, Poppy helps us all breathe easier that we don't have to be perfect in order to be a follower of Jesus. Poppy assures us that maturing in our faith will always be a process, and she provides practical life-application tools and suggestions to help us grow more Christ-like. Reflective thought and discussion questions at the end of each chapter make this a perfect book to read and study in a Book Club or group setting. I especially enjoyed Chapter 10, "How Will Looking Back Spur Me Forward?" and I will be referencing it in the book I'm currently writing. An author quoting another author's work is always a sign of endorsement, and I certainly do endorse this book!"
