Great women's Bible study!

Jesus Himself commanded us to "Love one another AS we love ourselves." But Christian women today seem to have a problem in this area - either falling into temptation to embrace the world's view of self-esteem or what they were taught by the world is humility (but is really self-depreciation). This book leads the way to study "proper self-love" which begins and ends in Christ. It is appropriate for all levels of the Christian walk. There are even sections which explain how to use Bible resources (concordances, dictionaries, etc.). Reading lists at the end of each chapter are suggested for additional indepth study for each topic covered. We used this book as one of our studies in a long-standing weekly women's Bible study. I particularly liked the way it was organized to help you dig in deeper to the Scripture references and help the leader to facilitate the group discussions. We not only discussed what was outlined for us, but we used it as a jumping off point to examine ourselves, with the loving help of our sisters in the group.
