I really loved this book and was provided this copy from the publisher in exchange for being a member of the launch team.

We are all uniquely made but we all get so caught up in comparison. We are so hard on ourselves as women. Always looking somewhere else and trying to measure ourselves by those standards and gifts instead of what God put in each one of us.
The author does a great job of sharing ways to stop comparing and begin to walk in who God created you to be. We all need some wisdom and guidance in this area.
This is a must read for all women.
I received a eARC copy from net gallery and this is my honest opinion

This is a great companion to the bible study by the same name. I had never done a bible study on Jacob, Rachel and Leah before. I never thought deeply about their predicament and the relationship issues involved.

I liked that the author was transparent in what she shared in reference to measuring up to others. I found this insightful, helpful and had me look at this story and scripture with fresh eyes. I highly recommend this book and the bible study.

This book focuses on an area that can be a problem that we don’t like to admit that we have—comparing ourselves with others. This can affect even Christian women at all stages of their lives.

To help us understand this struggle more clearly, Nicki Koziarz leads us through the story of Leah and Rachel. As we study their lives in detail, it helps us to see more clearly how comparison can be a silent problem in our own lives. The author also uses examples from her own life in ways that she’s struggled with comparing herself to others, and gives encouraging steps to help us more clearly see God’s goodness and purpose in our own stories. I enjoyed reading this thoughtful study on this topic.

What a great book! I honestly didn't think I would find much value here as I am older and not so worried about what other people think. Wrong. I wasn't battling so much comparison about my kids and their kids, but more about why is my walk with Christ not like hers. This was a great eye opener with many many scriptures to show me how valuable I am in Christ. Thank you Nicki for a great book!

Why Her effectively covers why we compare ourselves to other women, why comparison is unnecessary, and how to stop! The author describes and offers help for this trap many of us walk into.

I loved, loved, loved the book. I have literally asked the question “Why Her?” many times. I struggle a lot with comparing myself to other so I’m so glad the book came out. I felt like it was written for me.

I appreciated how open and honest Nicki was about her own struggle with comparing herself to others. She reminded us that we don’t want to live her life. We have our own God-given assignment and she has hers I liked what she said that if we didn’t get something we prayed for or hoped for, it was not meant to be ours and it wasn’t something we truly we wanted. And she brought up one good point. Instead of competing against one another, why not celebrate one another? Why is there so much competition among women these days

This book has given me much to think about. I cannot recommend this book enough.

If success is defined in the eye of the beholder,
who are you letting behold your success?
Nicki Koziarz is confronting the comparison question: Why her?

Through two striving sisters in the Bible, Nicki uncovered six truths’ we need to hear when trying to measure up leaves you falling behind.
These six truths will help you:
• Stop staring at her success and find satisfaction in yours.
• Find contentment with your life without being complacent in who you are becoming.
• Gain godly wisdom to answer the Why Her silent question of your soul.
Someone will always be ahead. But that doesn’t mean you’re behind. Because Truth, like always, will set us free. And free women don’t have to measure up to anybody. Not even her.

“The reality is we may never understand why God does what He does. Trying to figure Him out will leave us frustrated. Trying to figure Him out will leave us fatigued. Trying to figure Him out will leave us faithless. The solution is to keep taking secure steps with God. Daily. Weekly. Monthly. Our entire lives. This process never ends. For even when circumstances look shaky, God is stable. We can believe He is securing our steps even when things don’t seem to make sense.” Nicki Koziarz, “Why Her”

This book will bless you and challenge you at the same time. It will encourage you to lay down the comparison struggle and pick up God’s peace and love instead.

“Life is going to try breaking us down. No matter how much we love God, there are going to be people, situations, problems and heartbreaks that come along which are still incredibly hard to handle. But when life breaks us down we always have two options.” (Bitterness or Breakthrough) -Nicki Koziarz; “Why Her”

These six truths are just what we all need to hear and take the heart. The truth sets us free. Nikki helps us understand how to not get caught in the comparison trap. We all struggle with this and Nikki helps us apply godly wisdom to our lives to know that we aren’t behind. A must read for every woman.

I received a complimentary advanced reader copy of this book from the publisher, B&H.

Let's face it. We have all experienced a season of Why HER? We have struggled with alone in fear that others wouldn't understand or that we were alone. Nicki invites us into the lives of two of the most revered women of the bible. We learn their biblical stories and how it applies to modern situations. Leah and Rachel both experienced intense seasons and we learn how each sister dealt with them. Nicki gives us six realistic truths that help us to stay in our own lane and be happy about it.

I LOVED this book! The author writes with an easy conversational style that draws the reader in. It's easy to relate to Nicki's stories, and the connection with the story of Rachel and Leah in the Bible is spot on. Good spiritual premise. A must read for anyone (and that's most women, I think!), who has struggled with not feeling "enough".

This book addresses something that all women deal with, jealousy and that inate need to compete with other women. Nicki uses humor and deep honesty to give us 6 Truths on how to deal with these emotions that all women experience. This is a must read for every woman.

Wow! As I read this book, I felt like a mirror was held in my face. I have been struggling for a few months with “Why Her?” Issues but in reality, my entire life. Nicki’s transparency to her own life really opened my eyes to my own. Her 6 truths are ver applicable to our daily lives and will help us live the life God untended for us instead of her. Every woman needs to read this and pass these truths on to the girls in their lives. I plan to apply these truths to my own life and teach my daughter to be the best version of herself God created and not to envy other woman.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from B&H Publishing through NetGalley. All opinions express are completely my own.

In an age where comparison is encouraged on so many levels, the message of this book is clear, it is unhealthy to look at another from this perspective. Digging deeper into “Who I Am” and what gifts have I been blessed with by God, would be time better spent. Understanding your self-worth, what you can contribute and an abundance mentality, are better for all of those around us.

The author explores the story of Rachel and Leah from Genesis, throughout the book to illustrate the damage that seems inevitable when we choose to live our life from the perspective of, “Why her and not me?”

We have a choice, we don’t have to listen to the lies that can play in our heads. The author notes that “Comparison brings out our competitive streak, which eats away at our contentment, which then destroys our confidence until we are fighting to keep up with an unrealistic standard.” Another quote that resonated was, “When a woman learns to listen to her unwell soul clues, she will become much less likely to let the struggle of comparison ruin her.”

She outlines a soul care strategy made up of three components; 1. Identify your three Ns (the noise, the notifications and the nosiness), 2. Find your happy, 3. Catalogue your compliments.

Truths she encourages us all to embrace are; 1. You need to be honest, 2. See it like it really is, 3. You don’t always have to be OK, 4.Sometimes you didn't do anything wrong, 5. Her gain is not your loss, 6. Let the success of others encourage, not discourage you.

I hold onto these thoughts, “Never settle for the seed of comparison, my friend. You are more than this. You are way more than anyone could ever compare you to.”

This book aligned with others I have read. It is an enjoyable read that I can recommend.

With thanks to B&H Publishing Group, the author and NetGalley for my free copy to review.

In her book, Why Her?, Nicki digs into 6 Truths to help women overcome the comparison trap. Personally, Why Her? helped me come to terms with being able to dream God-sized dreams and at the same time accept when what I thought was a God- given dream wasn’t for me, after all.

Nicki is brutally honest in this book and forces the reader look at her own heart in order to get over the comparison trap. She uses the biblical examples of Rachel and Leah to uncover the 6 Truths we need to hear.

Do you compare yourself to others--especially other women? This is common among women today. We compare outfits, hairstyles, vacations, homes, children, and more often than not, we find ourselves on the short end of the stick. Nicki Koziarz's new book, Why Her, uses the Biblical story of Rachel and Leah to delve into the pitfalls and solutions to the comparison trap. Nicki discusses 6 truths we need to hold onto when comparisons get us down. Using personal stories, Biblical references, and challenging questions, Nicki takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery and a renewal of self-worth.

I found this book engaging and thought provoking. Nicki's writing style is that of a good friend sitting with you and discussing life over a cup of coffee. Her personal examples are sincere and heartwarming. I would highly recommend this book to every woman!

I expected "Why Her" to be good as Nicki Koziarz rarely writes a word I don't enjoy. What I didn't expect was for it to resonate so deeply with me and really challenge me to stop and think about where I am, what I have, how I think, and most important how all those things affect my relationship with God. There are some powerful, thought provoking things here. Tgis is provably one of my favorites: "We have to trust God so much that if he doesn't give us what we want, we don't want it." And it's all written in Nicki's typical down-to-earth style, that makes you feeling like you're sitting down with a friend.

I loved this book. I literally read it in a weekend because I couldn't put it down. This book healed me from comparison although I didn't know that I dealt with it. Great book, easy to read by a great author. I've already given copies away.

Why Her? takes the reader into the lives of Rachel and Leah, wives of Jacob, to examine how the act of comparing actually hinders the hopes of our hearts. Comparison, the act of looking at what She has and believing we Did Something Wrong or are Undeserving are lies we tell ourselves. Why Her? reassures the reader that there are Truths to tell and everyday, simple things we can do to be aware of what WE have been blessed with to avoid the trap of Comparison.

Will be doing the proverbs 31 online bible study to this book. Glad I got to read

What I loved about this book is how it took two relatable characters, Leah and Rachel, and looked at their stories from our 21st Century perspective. Knowing that the problems we have now were the same as many years ago actually helps the reader not feel so alone. The structure of the book really helps readers zero in on why this story and why now. So much love for this book. Feel blessed by reading it.
