How to Break Free from the Performance Trap E-Book
Break free from striving and discover the peace, confidence, and freedom that come from resting in what Jesus has already accomplished.
Are You a Dung Beetle? How to Break Free from the Performance Trap explores the exhausting cycle of trying to earn acceptance—from others and even from God—through performance, good works, and self-effort.
With biblical teaching, personal stories, and plenty of Dennis Capra’s trademark humor, this book challenges the performance-driven mindset and points readers back to the freedom found in God’s grace and the finished work of Jesus.
Dennis examines the difference between good works and dead works, what it means to be established in faith righteousness, and why our confidence with God should be rooted in what Christ has accomplished rather than what we accomplish ourselves.
Using the unforgettable picture of a dung beetle endlessly rolling its ball, Dennis illustrates what happens when we spend our lives collecting achievements, religious works, and accomplishments in an attempt to prove our worth. Instead, he invites readers to stop striving for what Jesus has already provided and begin living from a place of acceptance, grace, peace, and rest.
Throughout the book, you’ll explore themes including freedom from performance, grace, faith righteousness, identity in Christ, good works vs. dead works, confidence with God, renewing the mind, and resting in the finished work of Jesus.
If you’re tired of trying to be “good enough” for God, Are You a Dung Beetle? offers a refreshing reminder: your relationship with Him was never meant to be built on how well you perform.
