Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ECPA CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD FINALIST • The author of Get Out of Your Head provides a revolutionary path to embracing a healthy relationship with your emotions, one that leads to life-giving connection with God and others as well as to a richer understanding of yourself.

“This book is worth thousands of dollars of counseling.”—Jonathan Pokluda, bestselling author and host of the Becoming Something podcast

How often have you heard, “Don’t let your emotions get the best of you”? But what if instead of ignoring our feelings, we noticed them, named them, and let God use them to draw us closer to Himself and others?

Many of us need to unlearn damaging messages about our emotions. We’ve been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy, when, in fact, God can use them to help us see where we need His healing.

In Untangle Your Emotions, Jennie Allen uses scientific research, biblical insight, and her own story to help you

● exchange stuffing, dismissing, or minimizing your emotions for a five-step process to know what you feel and what to do about it
● debunk the myth that feelings are sinful by learning how emotional maturity leads to deeper connection with God and others
● live emotionally healthy by applying biblical wisdom and therapeutic research that works whether you self-identify as “emotional” or not
● sit with feelings that are confusing and painful by discovering the depth of God’s love and compassion for you

Feelings aren’t something to fix; they are something to feel. As we discover how to name and navigate our emotions, we’ll learn how they can draw us closer to the God who built us—soul, mind, and heart.

I have really enjoyed Jennie Allen’s previous books and sermons at events such as IF:Gathering; and I deeply respect the work she is doing for the kingdom of God.

Goodreads review by Abbie on March 03, 2024

I'd like to start my review by saying that I think Allen's heart for this topic is so important. The American church has been known to belittle or even vilify emotions to a non-biblical extent. I'm rating this book 3 stars because I don't think there was anything inherently wrong in it. (Although I......more

Goodreads review by Carly on July 29, 2024

I first heard of this book and author upon watching the Candace Cameron Bure podcast. I loved the episodes with Jennie so much, and I'm glad I didn't skip reading this life-changing, super practical, and biblically supported bomb of a book. It was such a journey reading this with my Mom. We were bo......more

Goodreads review by Cole on January 15, 2025

Absolutely fantastic book! I’m not much of a feelings guy and neither was Jennie before she started working on this book. She is a “fixer” and I definitely am as well. She discussed how we can have more emotional maturity for those who wear their emotions on their sleeves, those who bottle them all......more
