Endorsements for Me, Myself, Lies
As women, we tend to do an awful lot of talking. Unfortunately, our thoughts and words do not always lead to blessing. Jennifer Rothschild has provided us with a reliable manual on how our words can bring life and health to the body, mind, and soul. This I know for sure: Jennifer has 20/20 heart vision.
Kathy Troccoli singer, author, speaker
I am crazy about Jennifer Rothschild. She communicates warmth, humor, and provocative thought, all within a few moments of being with her. We have giggled together, prayed together, and had soulish conversations together. I leave her presence always wanting more.
I had the opportunity of having more with Jennifer as I read her new book, Me, Myself, Lies. It too is filled with warmth, humor, and thought-provoking nourishment for our souls. She demonstrates how crucial it is that we kindly talk truth to ourselves. We come away uplifted and satisfied. I predict there will be countless thousands of her readers happily talking to themselves as they push their grocery carts, drive to work, or make their dinner. Soul talk will become the best epidemic to hit town. I recommend you catch it.
Marilyn Meberg author and one of the original Women of Faith speakers
For those of us that have perfected the art of self talk to the level of our own internal talk show, Jennifer s book offers sweet peace and quiet to our souls. Full of wisdom and depth, Jennifer is never afraid to get personal and honest; she writes like the wise and trusted friend she is.
Nicole Johnson author and dramatist with Women of Faith
All of us talk to ourselves. We tell ourselves what we believe, or what others have told us, about ourselves. Too often, we believe and feel things about ourselves that are untrue. We can change our false beliefs and feelings by replacing them with truth. Jennifer has learned how to do this, and her passion has led her to share it with others. This book is Jennifer s story, and it offers freedom and confidence for those struggling with habitual negative, degrading, and painful self talk. Her story can become your story.
Freda V. Crews licensed professional counselor
host of Time for Hope
A woman s brain is designed by our Creator to masterfully handle language and to connect memories, words, and feelings in very powerful ways. As a result, a woman s conversations with others and with herself tend to be infused with emotion and meaning. As Jennifer Rothschild will clearly show you in this enthralling book, God s wonderful words to women and His spectacular design of women can, when warped by the enemies of a woman s soul, become a dangerous, disparaging, and destructive force. This invigorating book is a prescription for a renewal of joy and peace in a woman s heart.

FOREWORD
BY ROBIN MCGRAW
T he night I spoke at the Women of Faith conference in Anaheim, California, all the speakers gathered in a small room for prayer. It s a tradition at these events-an incredibly awe-inspiring experience to be surrounded by motivational people just moments before heading onstage to share with tens of thousands of women what we hope will be powerful words.
May God be with Jennifer, someone prayed. I didn t know who Jennifer was and why we were saying a special prayer for her. It turns out I was sitting next to her at that moment; she would soon inspire me and move me to tears, and she would become my dear friend. Most importantly, I would soon understand that God is most certainly with Jennifer-and with all those who seek Him. You will too after reading this exceptional book.
My message at that conference, as well as in my book Inside My Heart and regularly on my husband s TV show, Dr. Phil , is that we all have the choice to live the life we want, to live with passion and purpose every single day. It s not always an easy choice, but it is ours to make. Of course we are born into legacies we wish were different, we grow up with baggage that can weigh us down, and with every challenge we face as adults, we can all too easily become paralyzed with self-pity, doubt, insecurity, and other self-defeating emotions. That s why the key to living a joyful life is all in the choosing-a choice Jennifer Rothschild has made with the utmost dignity, optimism, and grace.
It s easy to forget that Jennifer has not been able to see since she was 15 years old because she never lets her disability define her. In fact, she only references that she is blind a handful of times in this book. She has chosen -my favorite word because we all have a choice-to make blindness her friend and to focus on all she has gained and continued to nourish as a result of losing her sight, including a keen self-awareness and unbending faith in God. These are only two of the gifts that Jennifer now uses to empower every one of us to live with vitality, freedom, wisdom, and peace.
In this book, Jennifer strikes the perfect balance between sharing her own experiences and citing Scripture to awaken us to the possibilities of our own lives. Hope and happiness are choices Jennifer has made, and now she offers the tools and insights for each of us to also make room for more goodness in our lives. Jennifer is a blessing in my life and in the lives of all those she touches. You re about to discover why. Enjoy!
