Loving Yourself

This book explores how love for ourselves originates from God's love for us and asks how we can love ourselves in a way that is neither self-absorbed nor narcissistic. What is appropriate self-care? In this book Richard Frost engages with both the head and the heart, wrestling with some of the issues and offering kernels of wisdom gleaned from his own experience and from other people, as well as signposting practical self-help. There is honesty and profound insight in this writing that draws on personal experience and a wide knowledge of other writers and thinkers. The book touches on aspects of spirituality, identity and wellbeing and explores the human condition: what will help us to make choices between good and better or best, balancing love of neighbour, with appropriate self-care and love of ourselves? This book can be read comfortably at a single sitting, but it is a book to linger with, to mine and to apply to daily living and spiritual practice.
