17 Self-Care Books to Nourish Your Soul

October 19, 2018 by Claire 4 Comments

self-care books title imageIf you know me personally, likely you know that I’m hopelessly obsessed with self-care and self-improvement books. While I do enjoy a good piece of fiction–you might also be familiar with my Lord of the Rings obsession–inspirational nonfiction is my jam.

Here's how we are changing our personal budget to reflect our faith.Earlier this year, we attended a pre-marriage finance seminar at my church. We all arrived with dark circles under our eyes, yawning, at 8:30 on Saturday morning for four hours of money talk. But despite the fact that we were exhausted from the previous day’s travel and marriage mentor dinner, I got so much out of that talk.

I don’t talk much about my faith on the blog, but I’d like to start talking about it more. Obviously being a Christian influences so much about how I see the world and make decisions.
