How God’s grace provides what we need to learn, grow, and live life well.

How can you live your best life, be your best self, achieve your personal goals, and make a lasting difference? There’s lots of advice out there, but does any of it work?

In her thirties, Tieler Giles moved to New York to build the life she dreamed of and become the person she wanted to be: one self-help strategy at a time. Several years later, exhausted, she discovered the gospel of grace in a powerful, new way.

In this book, she examines some of the ways in which our culture tells us to pursue happiness, power, identity, and love, and shows us how only God’s grace provides what we truly need to learn, grow, and live life well.

Whether you’re a Christian or exploring spirituality, get ready to discover how God has the power to renew our minds, heal our hearts and restore our souls.

What Others Are Saying

  • “This book offers nothing short of grace to the strive-weary among us. In its pages, Tieler Giles helps us all ease off our own go-go-go agendas and offers a road toward living as God intended.”

  • “All of us want to improve and grow, and the world offers no shortage of answers and products to try. Tieler Giles embarked on a journey to try ‘self-help’ and came up wanting. But in the process, she learned about herself, and more importantly about her relationship with her Savior. This book is the fruit of that journey, and it’s one that will serve anyone who has believed that self-help books and tactics are the answer to their needs. Giles has been in your shoes, and she is a friend who invites you back to God’s purposes for you.”

  • “With precision and skill, Tieler Giles identifies why self-help promises much but delivers little, and points us instead to the person of Christ in whom all things are done, not to-do. I appreciated her wealth of experience as a life coach; the acknowledgement of where self-help can have value; her honesty and her witty observations. This book is joyful, real, comprehensive and practical. Don’t just put it on your to-do list—read it!”

Tieler’s story is authentic, transparent, and ultimately full of the best news there is. If you’re tired of trying to keep up, then take up this book and find real rest.”
