Why Bad Looks Good: Biblical Wisdom to Make Smart Choices in Life, Love, and Friendship

Overcome deception with biblical perception.
Have you ever misjudged a situation that appeared desirable but ended in disaster? Have you been betrayed by a friend, coworker, or love interest? We all face challenging, heartbreaking experiences that require us to make important decisions. Unlike worldly advice, God’s advice is perfect.
Why Bad Looks Good uses biblical wisdom to improve your perception of the people and world around you. Using relatable, real-life examples, career prosecutor Dr. Wendy Patrick teaches you how to:

• assess people and circumstances clearly and accurately,
• identify healthy sources of power,
• surround yourself with trustworthy people, and
• transform rose-colored glasses into reading glasses.

We are drawn to talent, wealth, and beauty, yet all of those things come from God. Apply his divine wisdom to live peacefully but proactively, compassionately yet carefully, and adopt a fresh, uplifting outlook on life.
