About Overliked
Have you ever posted something on social media, thought it was the best thing ever (or maybe your best hair day ever), and then…nothing…crickets…2 lowsy likes! If you’ve been on social media, you’ve likely experienced that feeling of disappointment. Or perhaps, life isn’t going so great, but you post pics that make it appear like life is coming up roses for you. Again, we all may have been tempted at some point to change the optics of our lives to make it appear like things are better than they really are.
Where’s the authenticity in all of this? And why do we look to outward sources for inward peace and security?
In this book, Rob addresses more than the surface issues surrounding the comparison culture
Book Highlights
We have become a nation where the optics of everything trump the reality of anything. Discover how to move beyond the optics to authenticity.
Disposable love is not the kind anyone is looking for. Learn about the four types of love and how to surrender your heart to God’s crazy love.
Do you experience “stinkin’ thinkin’” in the middle of adversity? Learn how praise and gratitude can shift your doubtful attitude in difficult times.
Everything you are looking for in this life, in your relationships, in finding your purpose, is already available to you. Like the woman at the well, we all have hope for a new way of living.
Advance Praise for Overliked
It would be so easy today to bash social media and denounce it as the root of much evil. But not Rob. He gets to the root of the issue…what he refers to as optics. The issue isn’t social media but how we use it, and more so, how we need to let God touch and heal places in our lives. I highly recommend this book!

There’s something about Pastor Rob’s writing that makes me feel like I know him, and that he gets many of the things I have struggled with. In his book, I feel like I have a partner walking with me. The Change of Heart sections at the end of each chapter really bring it home for me, and I’m learning a lot about myself and God. Would I recommend this book? I already have!

I’m not an overly religious person, but I totally get where Rob is going with this. His writing is so real, and I can relate to the personal stories he shares. I’m working through some of the exercises now and I’m liking the changes I see in me. Thanks for sharing this book with the world.

This is a great book on many levels. It’s engaging and easy to read. Rob’s discussion of optics is eye-opening. The way he weaves King David’s story throughout the book shows me that this issue with optics isn’t a new one. This isn’t just a great book for those with a social media “problem,” but a great book for anyone just wanting to be all that God’s created them to be.

More about the Author
A pastor for over 27 years with a heart to reach the lost both here at home and across the globe, Rob has had ample opportunity to counsel people through many of life’s difficult trials and circumstances. And he’s seen firsthand how damaging social media can be to someone’s sense of self worth. While a proponent of social media (used properly), he wants people to really grasp that God loves what’s on the inside more than the outside, and wants people to find that clarity, confidence, and connection that comes only from a relationship with Jesus.
