A spotlight on great new Christian books, here's our pick for Eden Book of the Month
January is a rollercoaster of personal growth. We start the month making lofty, inspirational resolutions that will completely change everything. We'll be fitter, smarter, more organised, more disciplined. We'll be better.
By the end of the month, though, we often end up back to our usual selves.
What if, instead of feeling glum for failing your resolutions, you ask what it is that actually makes you happy?
January’s pick for book of the month is all about asking those kinds of questions, and how today's culture doesn’t always supply us with the best answers. Both striking and fascinating, January’s book of the month is:
Be True to Yourself by Matt Fuller
“Our culture tells us that the way to be happy is to "be true to yourself". It's posted on social media, promoted in adverts, taught in schools and, even, expressed in churches. But what does that mean, and does it actually work?
Matt Fuller explores how true happiness, wholeness and freedom can be found in embracing who God has created us to be; allowing ourselves to be shaped by who the Bible says we are, rather than our own fluctuating feelings, or the voices around us. In the process, this book draws on a broad range of fascinating research and examples to give us a fresh biblical take on some of today's biggest hot-button issues.
By cutting through the confusion and showing us something better, this is a book to help every Christian live with confidence in today's culture.”
