Rather than encouraging self love, this book promotes the manatra "Let Go and Let God" and where this makes perfect sense to any Christian, at the same time I'm thinking to myself "Well, I'd like to think I have a little control of my life". It's nice to know that you shouldn't expect perfection from yourself because God doesn't and loves you just the way he made you. The problem is when that little voice in your head tells you "You're not good enough" because when you hear that enough from other people, you start to believe it. It made no sense to me when the book said you don't have to get rid of toxic people in your life, because from my personal experience, really you do.
This book also covered several sins that are considered acceptable to society, abortion, gender identity, racial superiority, and tore all these topics to shreds. The author described in great detail why these should still not be acceptable, because they are sinful and not the way God intended. I think more people need to read this book for that very reason because we are really losing touch with reality and each other, especially this year of 2020.
Overall, this book was okay, just a different approach to the self help books I typically read. Did it make me feel better? Some, but most of us like to feel like we are at least a little bit in control of our overall happiness. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to review another book.… (meer)
