I never read her book but my friend was an ardent follower and discussed with me why she like what she had to say. I did not like the effect her books had on my friend's life. They seem to make her more selfish and self centered. It seem to become a me ism with her.
I believe in God and the unity of The Holy Spirit. The Church is one body in Christ Jesus. There is more to life than just what makes us happy. The real purpose of life is to please God. We revolve around him. It is the reason we were created.

“They seem to make her more selfish and self centered”
Jesus came to save the individual. He made each one of us “Priests before the Father”. So, in this perspective Rand’s me-ism is very Christian. Liberals (collectivists) treat each person not as a person but just another piece of the collective. This is decidedly NOT Christian.
Does this explain why Rand’s writings are appreciated by Conservatives whether Christian or atheist?
