Self-Care Susan L Fink

If you can identify with any of the following, this book is for you!

- Me-time is selfish and time-wasting.

- It's easier to say yes to others than to myself.

- My work computer is part of my vacation luggage.

- My goal is to live the biblical definition of joy: Jesus first, others second, yourself last.

For many Christians, the concept of loving themselves sounds contrary to Jesus's words: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross" (Matthew 16:24 NIV). Does ''Love your neighbor as yourself" mean our earthly needs are as important as our service to others? Each chapter of Self-Care: Selfish or Sacred? An Interactive Guide to Myths and Misunderstandings looks at a myth about self-care, shares the author's personal struggle, and identifies misconceptions. Scriptural explanations, questions, and prayer prompts are included with blank spaces for interactive use. The book's easy-to-use format is conducive to personal or group study
