Him Not Them is a faith-centered devotional and teaching book that calls readers to trust God's voice above the noise of opinions, expectations, and rejection. Through honest reflection and biblical truth, Phyllis Harrington challenges readers to release the need for approval and walk confidently in obedience to God's calling. This book is a reminder that when God says yes, no other voice has the power to override His purpose.
What happens when following God costs you relationships, approval, and comfort?
In Him Not Them, Phyllis Harrington delivers a powerful, transparent message for anyone who has wrestled with people-pleasing, rejection, spiritual isolation, or the fear of man. Written with a blend of personal insight and biblical wisdom, this book guides readers through the reality that obedience to God often requires choosing faith over familiarity and conviction over consensus.
Across twenty-one thoughtfully developed chapters, Harrington explores themes such as divine rejection, quiet obedience, spiritual preparation, surrender, endurance, and unwavering trust in God's direction. Each chapter reads like a devotional teaching-deep enough for study, yet accessible for personal reflection-encouraging readers to remain faithful even when their choices are misunderstood.
Rather than offering surface-level encouragement, Him Not Them speaks honestly about the cost of obedience and the peace that follows it. The book reminds readers that God's approval is not earned through performance or popularity, but through surrender and trust. It challenges readers to stop explaining their calling, stop shrinking their faith, and stop waiting for permission that God has already given.
At the end of the book, a dedicated reflection section provides Scripture, guided reflection, prayer, and action steps for each chapter, along with space for personal notes. This makes Him Not Them ideal for individual devotion, small-group study, leadership development, and ministry settings.
If you have ever felt overlooked, questioned your calling, or struggled to trust God when others walked away, this book will remind you of one unshakable truth: when you choose Him, you never lose your way.
Because at the end of the day, it's Him-not them.
