When did the Bride stop honoring her vows?
We are the Church-the Bride of Christ. Called to be faithful, pure, and devoted to our Groom. But in a culture of entitlement, performance, and self-worship, we've become something else entirely: a narcissistic bride. Loud in praise but distant in prayer. Demanding blessings while avoiding obedience. Obsessed with the mirror, but avoiding the gaze of the One who chose us.
The Narcissist Bride is a raw, revelatory journey into the heart of God and the condition of His Church. With prophetic insight and deep compassion, this book exposes the narcissistic traits that have crept into modern Christianity-entitlement, manipulation, image obsession, unfaithfulness, ingratitude, and more-while pointing us back to the relentless love of our Bridegroom.
Each chapter is both a mirror and an invitation:
To repent.
To return.
To remember what it means to be His.
The Groom still waits. Will the Bride make herself ready?
