Aprašymas

What do you think of when you hear "self-care"?

Let's be honest: most of us think of massages, steam baths, face masks, and indulging on a special treat while binge-watching Netflix. But is that really the kind of self-care that will sustain us in the long run? The truth is, it's a shallow, temporary fix at best.

In Good News About Self-Care, pastor and theologian Benjamin Espinoza takes us beyond the surface-level indulgences that dominate today's self-care culture. Instead, he presents self-care as a deeply Christian practice rooted in our relationships with God, others, and society. This book reframes self-care as an act of faithfulness and stewardship, showing us that true self-care is much deeper than just pampering ourselves--it's loving and caring for ourselves in a way that fuels our mission to love God and neighbor wholeheartedly.

Key Features:

• Theological framework Explores self-care as a Christian practice, connected to our relationship with God, society, and creation.
• Practical guidance Offers tangible steps for integrating self-care into a thriving, guilt-free Christian lifestyle.
• Discussion questions At the end of each chapter, these questions encourage reflection and group discussion for deeper learning and healing.

In a time when exhaustion, stress, and burnout are widespread--especially among Christian leaders--here is a timely and life-giving message. Espinoza bridges the gap between secular self-care and a Christ-centered approach, providing a sustainable, healthy, joyful, and theologically rich framework that helps readers live out self-care in a way that honors God and strengthens their ministry.
