       If one is lead to believe otherwise, to accept things that contradict the Scriptures, then that person’s faith wasn’t really rooted and grounded to begin with, was it? Perhaps it’s a test for the individual self to see where one stands. If one is easily lead away, then that may be an indication that they really aren’t rooted in the beliefs they say they have in the first place. So, me, myself, I like to get varying perspectives on things. Generally, I like to agree with an author at least 2/3 of the time to spend a lot of time focusing on their work. But, I will read those with whom I agree less with, but probably won’t spend a lot of time with them. But I think it’s important to consider the views of psychologists and self-help teachers who are outside the faith because, often times, they can teach us life skills that we cannot get anywhere else. They can teach us important things that usually aren’t in Christian books. I don’t see anything wrong with this at all. It’s important for us to be as sharp as we possibly can be, and as long as we aren’t following sin, I don’t see anything bad about self-improvement from those who don’t come from where we come from.
