Faith-led books and practical tools for growing food with integrity, supporting seniors, and helping without being overextended.
"How to Help Without Being Used" is the official entry guide to The Grateful Hearts Method™. It was written for people who feel called to help, serve, grow, or give — but who do not want to do so at the cost of their peace, health, or integrity. Before planting gardens, feeding communities, or building systems of service, this guide establishes the boundaries, discernment, and mindset required for work that lasts. It gently helps readers determine whether this path is right for them and prepares them to enter the Grateful Hearts Method™ with clarity, steadiness, and wisdom rather than urgency or pressure.
