Synopsis

Audie Award Finalist 2023, Christian Book Award - Finalist 2023!!!

How do you feel about how you feel? Our emotions are complex. Some of us seem able to ignore our feelings, while others feel controlled by them. But most of us would admit that we don’t always know what to do with how we feel. The Bible teaches us that our emotions are an indispensable part of what makes us human―and play a crucial role in our relationships with God and others. Exploring how God designed emotions for our good, this book shows us how to properly engage with our emotions―even the more difficult ones like fear, anger, shame, guilt, and sorrow―so we can better understand what they reveal about our hearts and handle them wisely in everyday moments.

Este libro debería ser leído por todos aquellos que luchan con sus emociones, o bien, por aquellos que aún no saben cómo identificar y nombrar sus sentimientos. Me ha encantado, pero más aún, me ha ayudado y bendecido. ¡Librazo!......more

Goodreads review by Amy on May 10, 2020

An eye-opening read to help me view all emotions (“positive” and “negative”) as a gift from God that we can engage in a way that honors Him. There are good and practical questions at the end of every chapter that were helpful for both counseling my own soul as well as counseling others!......more

That last chapter was my favorite thing. It was a light ready and thick to read through if that makes sense?......more
