It's Not About Self-Help
Dan Edelen on "9 Reasons Why Today’s Books on Christian Living Are Terrible." Example:
Most of the great Christian books I have read are not about what I need, want, or desire. They are about Jesus or the other. And not about the other in a "feed the hungry" sort of way, but a "they are more important than you" sort of way.
Just sayin'.
Christian books the other
Paid, professional pastors who write books about how normal people should live are NOT normal people.Fair enough, but for me, the bottom line is most of them are self-help books, not tomes on how to live like a Christian - you know, sacrificially.
