Synopsis

"Why do I feel this way?"

Sometimes life is a mess and we get overwhelmed by all sorts of conflicting, difficult emotions. We might be stressed or weary, anxious or fearful, paralyzed by insecurity or crushed by pain. Worse yet, some well-meaning people invalidate our feelings and tell us to just cheer up and forget our worries.

Rather than bypass the reality of our feelings, we need to enter into them and listen to what they're telling us. Psychology professor and personal development coach Dr. Peace Amadi helps us navigate the complexity of our emotions, from discouragement and hurt to trauma and depression. She explains the dynamics underlying what we feel and gives practical resources for living through our emotions in healthy ways.

With insights from both psychology and Scripture, this book offers you a clear plan to get your peace and freedom back and find your joy again.

Goodreads review by Laura on May 29, 2021

It's an excellent compendium of psychological theories with a focus on relationships and specifically how actions or core beliefs from our past direct our current day relationships. It includes a lot of biblical references, but even if you aren't particularly religious there is a lot to take away an......more

Goodreads review by Kelsey on January 21, 2023

I am always skeptical of books that are written by Christian authors and address mental health challenges or emotions. This is due to the fact that I’ve seen many Christian authors tell people that they need to “have more faith” and “not be angry, sad, irritated, etc”. But this book surprised me and......more
