7 Attitudes Of The Helping Heart by John Christopher Frame

Adopt A Christ-Like Stance

7 Attitudes Of The Helping Heart by John Christopher Frame is a powerful little book that will aid your Christian walk as our eyes are opened to those around us.

Jesus About Exigency Of Loving Yourself by Mike McArthur

Love Because He First Loved Us

Jesus About Exigency Of Loving Yourself by Mike McArthur is a nonfiction book about learning to love yourself.

Once we love and accept ourselves, then we can love others. Once we know that we are God’s and we are loved by Him, everything changes. When we know God, we know love because God is love.
