THE SMALL BOOKS SERIES – Edward T. Welch & Paul Tautges (New Growth Press, 2017-2021)

I love these little books. The format is, a small hardback-book covering a major issue that we all face to one degree or another.

A Small Book about a Big Problem is about anger; A Small Book for the Hurting Heart addresses loss and grief; A Small Book About Why we Hide is about tackling insecurity, shame and failure; and you can guess what the Small Book for the Anxious Heart is about!

One of the best things about these books is that they force you to go slowly. The books are divided into days, not chapters, and that’s intentional, because the authors know not only that we are designed to live out our lives in days, but they also know that in terms of our problems, even though we would prefer to sprint to a magical answer, our struggles are best engaged at a more deliberate pace.

Each day ends with suggestions that you can think, write, talk, and pray about; in other books, these kinds of exercises seem gimmicky, but here they are very helpful.
