FIND YOUR STRONGEST LIFE book review

A note: I am a Thomas Nelson book review blogger and got this book free, in exchange for a review posted on my blog.

When I first got the book, Find Your Strongest Life, my first thought was, what’s so Christian about it and why is Thomas Nelson publishing it. I even twittered the question and @ThomasNelson wrote me back saying: “we publish all kinds of books that are from a Christian worldview, some aren't overtly Christian subjects.”
I continued reading with this in mind, but in the end, I still feel the same way. This book is decisively NOT from a Christian worldview. It’s not offering anything different, as a solution, than “the world” has to offer (and you have to wonder if the author did, would he be promoted by Oprah?).
The book is good and smart if you want more of the same --- a self-led checklist of how to improve your life and be more satisfied. In its defense, it does concentrate on a person’s unique gifts but it still doesn’t include your Creator’s role in your quest for satisfaction. It’s just another book to teach you how to attain the goals that the world has defined for you. The book is targeted to women, and doesn’t question the feminist values that women have grown up with and evaluate those values and goals from a biblical perspective. That’s what I would expect from a book about finding your strongest life published by a Christian publisher.
