Book: Loving Yourself

Loving Yourself by Richard Frost, published by SLG Press.

St Paul in Corinthians 13:13, teaches us that faith, hope and love abide, and the greatest of these is love. While most people know that looking after ourselves is an important concept how many people really love themselves as they should?

Many of us do our best to love others which is not always an easy task and while loving ourselves might sound easy and in some cases it really is, doing it in the first place and indeed getting it right is something that can often be overlooked.

In his book Loving Yourself, Richard Frost explores the fact that God loves us all and through his own thoughts and the thoughts and ideas of others the author provides a great deal of material for the reader to ponder on on this important concept.

From some practical suggestions to exploring the idea that loving ourselves is not a narcissistic approach to life, Richard Frost demonstrates how through loving ourselves we can in fact show greater love for others.

Quite often in life individuals can be hard on themselves and strive for perfection, becoming disillusioned when perfection is not achieved. We all need to remember that God alone is perfect; that we should not be too hard on ourselves and that if we value ourselves it will enable all of us to show love and respect for God, who demonstrated that to us through the ultimate sacrifice on the cross and continues to do so each and every day.
