Why does jealousy so often get in the way in woman to woman relationships? How can we avoid the comparison trap?

Are you in 'The Comparison Trap'? Too often, women hold each other back, bad mouthing and making unflattering comparisons. Social media gives extra opportunities for negative comment.

What would happen, asks Helen Roberts, if women ceased to compete and compare? What if we settled our conflicts and resolved instead to champion one another? To celebrate each other's victories?

In The Comparison Trap Helen explores the complexities of female relationships in workplaces, families and friendship circles, using contemporary, historical, personal and biblical examples.

This book is for women who want to establish healthy habits, enabling their relationships to thrive. This will help them to live more confidently as the daughters the Father intends us to be, free from envy or comparison.

Helen is an inspirational author, speaker and leader. Healed from cancer in 1999, her life is now invested in encouraging people to grow in spiritual maturity. She serves part-time as Senior Leader of Wellspring Church (Watford), alongside a ministry in the wider community serving churches near and far. She has been married to Tim since 1994. They have three children and have lived in the Watford area since the mid-1990s. Since 1998 Helen has shared the joy and challenges of leading Wellspring Church with a passionate commitment to see their vision to bring transformation to communities become a greater reality. She is also active in the civic sphere, working with community leaders to establish a new groundbreaking charity. Helen is an inspiring communicator who loves to help people step into greater freedom as followers of Christ.
