One of my favorite Christian books

This is one of my favorite Christian books in regards to how it is so practically helpful! I think it talks about stuff that we as people are dealing with throughout our lives no matter what age we are. For me personally it really spoke to me about how God cares for me and wants the best for me in my everyday life. It also talks about dealing with sin/unwanted behaviors by going over the heart issues as the Holy Spirit can work in your life, instead of just powering through on your own willpower. I'm going to read it again and go through it more slowly.
