"How God Helps Those Who Help Themselves: The Sufficiency of Grace and the Responsibility of Effort" We all struggle. Some of us overcome; others are pulled under. Some of us find help; others have no idea where to turn. Perhaps the most painful, pain-filled aspect of our struggles is when we feel we are all alone, that no one understands, and we have no other options but to endure. In these darkened moments when troubling questions come faster than answers can satisfy, when we feel we have done all we can do, we search for spiritual meaning to make sense of life. An anchor in these times is the belief that God helps those who help themselves. Even non-religious people believe it to be true, and despite our flaws and frequent mistakes in life, we believe God ought to help us. After all, isn't that God's job? People frequently ask, "How do I get God to help me? I can't do this alone." Then comes the response, "You have to help yourself." And we hear that interminable, nagging question echo through our suffering, "Yes, but how?" So how do we help ourselves? How do we access this divine assistance, especially when we've made a mess of our lives and find ourselves in those dark corners of despair? In, "How God Helps Those Who Help Themselves," author, teacher and pastor, Grant Gillard shares a little-practiced concept of positioning, the solution to helping ourselves receive God's help. Believing, God helps those who help themselves, ennobles our belief in self-sufficiency and strongly suggests that if we are faithful to do our part, we can count on God to do his part. God's help does not come without conditions, however. God does not honor the slothful or the foolish person. God helps those who sincerely desire, and are willing to help themselves. God helps those who have initiative and take responsibility for their actions, even when they mess up and fail big-time. Even for the non-religious person, our culture holds a perception that God is good, that God ought to help us in our struggles, and we hope God will. Likewise, we feel God should reward us for our hard work, or bless our good efforts, as imperfect as they may be. But how do we persuade our loving God to jump in and give us a hand? Is there something we can do to persuade God to help us? The answer is, "Yes," and it's called positioning. Americans pride themselves on their self-sufficiency and the high ideals of their work ethic. Yet we struggle to attain the level of success that satisfies our material need and secures our financial future. We all need a little divine assistance to enhance our efforts. Culturally, we believe in a benevolent God who empowers us to succeed and allows us to bask in the results of our hard work. Our fallen world is constantly burdened by sin and ignorant efforts by well-intentioned people, but thanks to God's unfailing love, our world is unceasingly solicited by grace. There is always hope because there is always help. Irrespective of their religious persuasion, almost everyone accepts the secular proverb, "God helps those who help themselves." Surveys show 80% of evangelical Christians incorrectly believe it to originate from the Bible. Even the nominally religious are able to quote it without chapter and verse. One of the unique contributions of this manuscript is how the author takes a secular proverb, and with an extensive public acceptance, explains it through the applications of stories and illustrations from the Bible. Though written from a Christian perspective, it appeals to the nominal believer as well as the faithful follower. The material makes us want to be better, more productive people, and demonstrates how God blesses us when we follow his ideals for our lives.

"Where does poverty come from? What am I supposed to do about it?" These questions are driving a new generation of Christians to take action on behalf of the poor through social and political action, global partnerships, and financial generosity, as they desire to become the generation that ends poverty forever. But in pursuit of this goal, they risk losing sight of a fundamental reality: the root cause of poverty isn't found in material or external circumstances. The root cause of poverty is sin--and sin is not a problem we can solve. But Jesus can. In Awaiting a Savior, Aaron Armstrong reminds readers that even as we are responsible for pursuing biblical solutions to poverty, our hope for truly resolving it comes not from the good we do, but from the return of Christ, who will once and for all put an end to sin, suffering and death as he brings about the new creation.
