Self-Care: Selfish or Sacred by Susan L. Fink
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Covid brought the concept of mental health more to the forefront, but it doesn’t mean everyone has understood what self-care is all about or bought into the concept. Many ask, “Isn’t self-help just selfish?” Susan gives addresses this core question as well as many other myths Christians have about self-care.
Susan in this labor of love and service to the Christian church, cements self-care in the Scriptures and addresses common myths Christians might have about taking care of themselves spiritually, mentally, and physically. Susan challenges you to ask questions of yourself, journal your answers, and deliberately engage in both the Scriptures and prayer.
But if you’re not the journaling type, there are plenty of other tools you can use. The wide variety of approaches, penetrating questions, and dense content makes this a valuable resource for those desiring to better care for the body God gave them.
