What a blessing this was. I have my own stack of “self-helps” —from hormone issues—to weight loss—and getting back my body after 40! (no such thing!)
BUT you are right on target…the Self-help of our lives is ONLY found in the one and only Word of God! The Bible!
Someone once told me the BEST translation to read…is the one you read the most.

I loved this post Iris!

Iris, I am so thrilled that you are addressing this subject and am really looking forward to your additional posts. It is most definitely time that we get back to the basics!

Happy Sunday!

Amen to that! The Bible is the ultimate book and is really the only thing we need when we need help, advice, guidance, encouragement, and truth. I agree with you that too many people turn to other books when they should turn to the Bible. We need to know the Word of God, so that when we read stuff does not line up with the Word we will be alerted immediately because we know the Word!

Blessings!

Iris,

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by! Hey, don’t put too much pressure on yourself to keep up with everyone. You’re a SUPER SWEET lady and I KNOW that none of us expect that from you. =-)

I also appreciate the compliments on the pictures I posted. I too LOVE the black & white. ESPECIALLY when it’s a little girl that’s photographed! (I mean, it looks GREAT on all photos – there’s just something EXTRA SWEET about a B&W photo of a darling little girl! =-)

Have a GREAT weekend!
Love you!

This was very refreshing!
You are right…it is time to get back to the basics. There are books that contain things that can help us move forward….but I think we forget that anytime we get something other than the true source we have actually taken in milk instead of meat. (my opinion) I think the danger is that we then revert to a child like hunger…we can become lazy. We want to be fed and don’t want to have to work for our meal. In the end we loose the satisfaction (maybe not the most accurate word) we would have gotten by going to the word ourselves.
You put it out there……it really is sad the amount of books that claim to have what we need to get to some specific place in our relationship with God. AND you only have to pay 19.95 to get the secret. Kind of sad that they are selling what they got for free. Yikes! I had better stop now.

My father is a Pastor, & he is forever telling the congregation that the Bible has every answer for every life problem. People try to stump him with issues, but he finds an answer from the word for them. It is awesome how the Bible has stood the test of time. No other book can say or will do that. It is the only book that is guaranteed to work everytime. Thank you for your words of truth!
