Untangling Emotions

Winner of the ECPA Christian Living Book of the Year Award 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. Explores several of the most challenging emotions, such as fear, anger, grief, guilt, and shame Teaches us to engage—rather than control—our emotions Features study questions at the end of each chapter
