How to Ditch the How-To

Book excerpt: How God’s grace provides what we need to learn, grow, and live life well. How can you live your best life, be your best self, achieve your personal goals, and make a lasting difference? There’s lots of advice out there, but does any of it work? In her thirties, Tieler Giles moved to New York to build the life she dreamed of and become the person she wanted to be: one self-help strategy at a time. Several years later, exhausted, she discovered the gospel of grace in a powerful, new way. In this book, she examines some of the ways in which our culture tells us to pursue happiness, power, identity, and love, and shows us how only God’s grace provides what we truly need to learn, grow, and live life well. Whether you’re a Christian or exploring spirituality, get ready to discover how God has the power to renew our minds, heal our hearts and restore our souls.
