Four Gifts: Seeking Self-Care for Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength by April Yamasaki
2.0
Read this one for Sarah Bessey’s Field Notes Book Club (sign up for her email newsletter!) and have to say, I sadly was underwhelmed by it. I wanted to love it, but I just didn’t really connect with the writing style (it felt super direct and not very personal, and I just didn’t really resonate or find it engaging). There are helpful thoughts here about self-care (focusing on heart, soul, mind, and strength as in Mark 12:30) that go beyond just massages and bubble baths into things like healthy boundaries, sleep, etc. Not a must-read, but definitely helpful for those needing to work out a better balance of loving God and others while still taking care of self.
