You may hear, by inference, that Jesus is the most significant "self-help" guy in all of human history. You may hear that Jesus is full of wise words, illustrations, and anecdotes. You may hear that Jesus came to bless you with things you have always wanted in life and deliver you from the things you never wanted. After all, he blesses his children, and he is our deliverer.
