Download or read book Journey Toward Christ Centered Emotions written by Lonnie Phillips and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every emotion you and I can think of such as; joy/excitement, sorrow, fear, anger and pleasure all have the element of the divine in them because God, who is Spirit, has all these emotions as well. Our emotions are not only an important aspect of our soul but is also vital in our relationship with God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Our emotions allow us to live life in abundance which Christ Jesus came to give us.(John 10:10) Now, for all of you who are thinking this guy is completely post-modern and is all about feelings, let me try to put your mind at ease. I am not speaking of being overly emotional or basing truth on emotion but I am saying that we who are made in Gods image will never enjoy the kind of communion God intends us to have with Him unless our emotions are a part of that relationship with Him. Our emotional and mental well being is vital to our relationship with Jesus.
Download or read book Back to Joy written by Toni Daniels and published by Geronimo!. This book was released on 2016-06-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever found yourself without the resilience you need in order to thrive? Is it sometimes hard to manage your emotions well, even though you pray, read your Bible, and serve others? Does God seem to be some illusive presence that you just can't seem to sense or hear?This practical and yet, intensely personal book will give readers a different model for dealing with their problems. Learning to sense God enjoying her, no matter what, turns out to be the beginning of an intimacy with the Creator that the author never dreamed possible. Joy, that feeling you get when someone is glad to be with you, has the power to manage all that goes on inside of us... when there is enough of it. Unfortunately, however, for many of us there is very little joy inside compared to the shame, fear, sadness, anger, and hopeless despair that swirl about. The result of this imbalance is emotional shutdown or meltdown, which leave us unable to fully connect with those around us. Depression and addiction run rampant when joy is lacking. And yet most of us are never shown healthy ways to deal with our emotions, to express them well, and to build the joy we need in order to endure the hardships of life. This is precisely what Back to Joy intends to do.Not a "how-to" that simply gives you steps to follow, Back to Joy: An Intimate Journey with Jesus into Emotional Health and Maturity actually shows you* What it looks like to sense God's enjoyment of you no matter what* How going back to your past can free you to fully live in the present* That your needs are valid and that God wants you to learn to receive* What suffering well looks like when you have been attacked* The radical mission God is on to seek and save all that was lost in your life and in the lives around you. By reading intimate journal entries spanning 18 years of her life as a Missionary, Relational Coach, Pastoral Counselor, daughter, wife, friend and mother you will see how Jesus has gently cared for the author, revealed His truth to her, healed traumatic memories, convicted her when she was stuck in harmful paradigms, and ultimately led her into health and maturity. Toni's book is an inspiring statement that you do not have to settle for a mediocre relationship with the Creator of the Universe. What are you waiting for? His delight in you can and will radically change your life as you let Him lead you back to joy.

Book excerpt: "Andrew Chornavka has found refuge from the demons of a long and tumultuous life in a stone monastery and a vow of silence. But the 21st century breaks into his idyllic existence. An archbishop descends upon the monastery and demands to know details about the life of Andrew's sister, Zoya. Rome is anxious that she be canonized as a saint. Astonished, confused, hostile, Andrew is forced to speak of his life, his family, and Zoya, the friend he always called Zo. He makes his way through the cities and forests of Russia and Canada, of Europe, Ukraine and America, through a world war, famine, revolution, great love and great loss, afraid of what the breaking of his silence may do, afraid of what others might see or fail to see, afraid of what kind of people, what kind of sister, may stand before him again in the clear light of day and demand to be heard."--Book cover

Download or read book Fierce Marriage written by Ryan Frederick and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.

You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
