Self-Help vs. God-Help 

There are some crazy self-help books out there. Here are 3:

  • 15 Minutes to Your Best Self is the playful but sophisticated reference busy women can turn to over and over again for ideas, advice, and solutions
  • Weight Loss for the Mind
  • Simply your Life in 6486 Steps

Let's be discerning! Some self-help books are only "helping" the bank account of the author.

So how can we pick a good one? There are a lot of books that can offer some band-aids to someone's problems, but real, authentic help takes heart-surgery...the kind God does. Only God knows the heart and only God can transform that heart. So strengthen your heart; look to God.
