FOUR GIFTS ~ SEEKING SELF-CARE FOR HEART, SOUL, MIND, AND STRENGTH BOOK

FOUR GIFTS - SEEKING SELF-CARE FOR HEART, SOUL, MIND, AND STRENGTH by April Yamasaki Back Cover: "Take Care Of Yourself!” We say it to each other often. But what does taking care of yourself even mean? Is self-care different from being selfish or self-indulgent? Is it the same as caring for your soul? And what does self-care look like in light of following Jesus, who called his followers to deny themselves? In Four Gifts, pastor and author April Yamasaki addresses these and other questions about self-care. Drawing on the ancient scriptural command to love God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength, Yamasaki weaves together personal stories, biblical and theological insights, questions for reflection, and practical ideas for self-care. Feeling overwhelmed by the pace and stress of daily life? Find respite from superficial definitions of self-care and move toward deeper engagement with God. "In my soul's journey into self-care, I have looked to April Yamasaki as a trusted guide. I read everything she writes!" -CHRISTENA CLEVELAND, author of Disunity in Christ "Just what I needed, just when I needed it." -CHRIS MAXWELL, author of Pause with jesus "The most thorough and thoughtful exploration of self-care I have ever come across."
