Life simply isn't working for many people. They
need help with the many problems, challenges and stresses of
everyday life, but aren't sure where to turn.
You may not realize that most families already own the best
self-help book ever published. Millions of copies have been
published. Its words have been around for thousands of years.
This book is your Bible.
Although it's a perpetual best-seller, few people take the time
to read and study it. But those who do take the time find that
it's a timeless book, filled with practical, downto- earth advice
from our Creator. It records vital and profound lessons from
real people. It can help us see and avoid the pitfalls that
come with doing things our way.
It's filled with sound counsel on how to have happy families,
marriages and friendships, how to properly rear children, how
to manage family finances and succeed on the job, how to maintain
your health, and so much more. In short, it tells us how to
make life work.
In the booklet, Making Life
Work, we've gathered and summarized some of the
Bible's best advice on these topics. |
