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.

The local church is meant to function as a healing and helping community that cares for God’s people. But what if, instead of grace and care, someone experienced harm and hurt?

Grief can be so debilitating that it blinds you to God's presence. Many who grieve struggle to face the sudden loss, much less embrace it and rest in it. In this remarkably honest book, Sharon Betters tells us the story of her teenage son's sudden death in a car accident. Excerpts from Sharon's journal express her raw grief, anger, and hunger to understand how God can be good and loving and still take away her youngest child. Sharon Betters draws listeners to a passage from Isaiah that carries God's promise to provide treasures for his people in the very midst of darkness and trouble.

Nous n’avons pas été créés pour surmonter seuls les épreuves de la vie. Dieu nous a donné son Esprit et nos frères et sœurs pour nous aider. Cependant, nous avons souvent peur de nous immiscer dans les problèmes des autres. Nous nous sentons incompétents et nous préférons laisser cela à des experts et des spécialistes. Toutefois, l’aide qui peut être apportée par les amis est précieuse et elle ne doit pas être négligée. Dieu se plaît à nous voir grandir et à nous transformer grâce à l’aide d’individus ordinaires qui ont été transformés par Christ.

Even though emotions are not uncommon to the human experience, we lack the language to fully understand and express them. This failure to understand can often lead to frustration and broken relationships. In The Path to Wholeness, Dr. Mark Mayfield teaches listeners how to slow down and explore the way our emotions develop.

In CCEFs Recovering from Child Abuse: Healing and Hope for Victims by David Powlison, you'll learn how to express your experience to God by composing your own personal liturgy.
