Attention: Self-help does not replace God.
If you are struggling with depression and a sense of not belonging, self-help can do more harm than good to you.
Who reads the Bible, is reading much of what self-help gurus preach, but with the safety of the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
Self-help demands that you think of yourself more and not less, and the more you think of yourself, the more you hurt. It’s not safe.
My non-religious book is likely to be helpful in a practical sense. Just don’t expect any miracles. If you think you are too smart to be a Christian, read “Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis.
