{"product_id":"2940157686512","title":"THE BEATITUDES: 9 STEPS TO AUTHENTIC SELF-LOVE","description":"\"Do you love yourself?\" It's a simple question that could be asked of anyone, regardless of whether you are a Christian or not. What is ironic is that answers could be similar to those in and not with the Christian faith, as authentic self-love has been replaced by concern for self and\/or concern for others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis has been a behavior that has continued to thrive over the centuries and was of high priority to Jesus when He spoke His Beatitudes into existence during His Sermon on the Mount. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany have forgotten the significance of these Beatitudes and how these biblical blessings can improve the lives of all, especially Christians, in profound ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his new advice book, The Beatitudes: 9 Steps to Authentic Self-Love, author Leonard Corcoran expounds on Jesus' desire for people to love their authentic selves, which would then allow them to love others without hidden intentions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis background in Transactional Analysis and leading workshops to improve the assertive skills of individuals help to craft a series of steps that will help people stay centered on developing true Christian mindsets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter covers particular Beatitudes of interest, beginning with separating, or \"detaching\", from focuses on self and\/or others to be replaced for concern for Christ. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs readers progress through the book, and learn to embrace their true selves, Leonard guides them toward harnessing their assertive skills in resemblance of Jesus' meek and humble, but firm, assertiveness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe results will not only improve readers' personal beliefs in themselves and what God has ordained for them, but will be means of encouragement to others and reinforcement of good Christian behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, do you love yourself? When you learn to love yourself, God can produce amazing miracles in your life and the lives of others.","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112625881328,"sku":"2940157686512","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157686512_p0.jpg?v=1764112279","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157686512","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
