Book recommendation

[Stanfi]

I would like to reccomend a couple of books by Neil Clark Warren. "Dating or Soulmate" and "How to Find the Love of your life". They really cause one to examine yourself and what you realisticly want or need in a marriage partner.

Tender Warrior by Stu Weber is a good book written for men about their role as a man and as the leader of the family.

I'm not a fan of Warren. My personal opinion is that he simply states the obvious, then tries to reduce love to a mathematical formula.

Is there a problem with Mathematical Formulas. (As wildthing a break from doing a physics problem) lol.

desperate single people sure fund a lot of writers' pocket books.

Oh no, mathematical formulas are very useful. I'm just saying that life and love aren't quite so logical.

Yeah, the answer must be out there!!!, in the self help section of our local book store.

Now come on, you don't have to be desperate to read the many books out on the subject. Just because others want to improve themselves, that doesn't mean you need to take potshots at them for doing so.

I concur. I think it's rather good trait that a person is willing to examine themselves from various avenues than someone who thinks they know it all and think they're okay where they are. There's always room for improvement.

The book we need to understand most for self improvement is the Bible. Oddly, its seldom the first place people look to.

Not disagreeing that point at all. However, it doesn't hurt to use resources available to us to help in areas where we might have struggles and pass what we have learned on to others. I think it was unfair for the generalizaton to be made that the OP or anyone reading these books were desperate. When did self improvement become desperation?

 

[Stanfi]

I agree that the Bible is the most important resource. However, I also feel that there are others book out there that can help us better understand ourselves. When choosing these books, it is important to pick a Christian author that will point us to biblical truths. I myselft have benefited greatly from books from Christian cousnelors and phycologist, I think they offter many great insights into ourselves and can help free us from many burdens that we bear in life. I think it takes great strenght to open ourselves up, and seek better understanding, and healing for our innner self.
