Note: COMMENTS from Readers Book Dimensions: 13.5 x 21.5 cm. Comments from people who have used this material: "This book shows that emotions are neither an embarrassment nor an
impediment to spirituality, but the very stuff God uses as He shapes His
salvation in us." If we are to be rescued from the incessant tendency to phychologize
the gospel, then this book will be a good start. Dan and Tremper give
us not more psychological information, but biblical encouragement to be
faithful." |

OPEN A WINDOW INTO YOUR HEART So often we find ourselves caught between extremes. Either we feel too much or not at all. We tend to ignore our feelings or fight them off as if they were an enemy. But all emotion - whether positive or negative - can give us a glimpse of the true nature of God. We want to control our negative emotions and dark desires. God wants us to recognize them as the cry of our soul to be made right with Him.Beginning with the Psalms, Dr. Dan Allender and Dr. Tremper Longman III explore what Scripture says about our darker emotions. In this ground-breaking book they reveal that often our attempts to control our emotions - far from an attempt to be Christlike - are really a form of rebellion against God or an attempt to flee from Him.
