CHAPTER

The Balance of Self-Love and Humility

This chapter explores the biblical perspective on self-love, contrasting it with excessive self-worship and the societal push for inward self-worth. Through humor and critical analysis, the discussion addresses the shortcomings of modern self-help philosophies that neglect scriptural teachings. The importance of grounding self-identity in divine love rather than personal standards is emphasized, alongside a critique of contemporary interpretations of the prodigal son's parable regarding repentance and humility.
