Bible Note: Dear Humbled, I would like to add my recommendation to Mommapbs. This book has been used in our church for several years. It is indeed biblically based. Not only have I read the book, but I have also gone through the workbook. It is all about getting over your issues because it isn't really about you, it is about Jesus. We were created by Him for Him. [Col. 1:16] We are hear to show forth the praises of God, [I Pet. 2:9] bring Glory to Jesus [2 Thess. 1:12] and advance His kingdom in the earth. [Mark 16:15] If we are all hung up on our own issues, we aren't going to be very effective. This book is one tool to help people refocus on what's important and work through those issues that are keeping them from fulfilling their purpose. If this book helps you in building your relationship with Jesus and fulfilling the purpose he created YOU for, then it is a good book. If it doesn't, then it isn't. But you will only know by checking it out for yourself. What works for one may not work for another. Hope this helps. Bows44 |
