Yes, the lovely little story about 'Pollyanna', by Eleanor H. Porter really resonates with me and Jesus encourages me to read books like this to help me learn how to cope after a trial or a difficult season, as I was mentally and emotionally abused for years and it helps build a healthy self-esteem in me. In the story as you may know, Pollyanna's father is a Pastor and he teaches her to play the ' glad game'. 'The game was to just find something about everything to be glad about.' pg 36.
Furthermore, I am reading a book by Christian Author Philip Keller" Lessons From a Sheep Dog. It is another book that helps teach me and build my self-esteem. 'Woven through this simple parable is the profound spiritual truth that, just like Lass, we can be transformed into the magnificent beings we were created to be, if we will simply listen and obey the Master's voice.' The true story of transforming love.
''When Lass the sheep doggy came to live on the sheep ranch at Fairwinds, she was anything but. She was gaunt, angry and seemingly untrainable- a product of years in the hands of an unloving master. " "Phillip Keller tells of those first tense weeks with Lass and allows us to see Lass's dramatic transformation from a scrawny, enraged animal into the strong, vibrant worker she was bred to be. Through Keller's unwavering patience and love, Lass learned the lessons of trust, obedience, faithfulness and discipline. "
