Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Workbook, Updated Edition: Discipleship that Deeply Changes Your Relationship with God

This course takes some commitment and work- - there's a book, workbook, and devotional book, plus a course DVD. We asked the class to commit to attending all the sessions as far as possible. The challenge for us was that each session was planned for 1.5 hours, so we had to figure out how to split it up for shorter classes. But most of the material was eye-opening, especially in our evangelical context in which we are inclined to view emotion as an iffy source of mostly questionable choices. EHS reminds us that not only are our emotions part and parcel of what and who we are as human beings in God's image, but that God may speak to us through our emotions, and we need to recognize, acknowledge, and respond to our emotions in the right way - examine and triage, as it were. EHS tries to get us to slow down and, first of all, "be" - be with God. Spend time with God. Be silent before him in order to receive, but also just to enter more deeply into relationship with him. Let go, trust more, let your actions and ministry flow out from this being and depth.EHS also helps us deal with "The Wall" - events or seasons when we are undergoing a period of intense struggling with life and faith - reminding us that these are expected, and, if we can push through them, treasures await on the other side, not least of all of which is a closer relationship with God.I felt the least helpful exercise was genogramming our family tree, but maybe that was because I don't know enough about my family to do so. It will probably be helpful to those who do know enough to complete it with more detail. Also, the emotional maturity evaluation on their web site needs fixing - the "results" were far too broad; more granularity is needed. As it was a couple of months ago, it looked like it was just calculating an overall score and lumping you into large categories, then saying what you're like based on every attribute of that category.In the end, though, this was a great course with many life lessons and skills to consider. One participant urged us to teach this to the teens, said she wished she had been taught this material when she was younger. I agree, it's a course everyone should take.

The series of three books contains excellent information and topics for discussion and healing of emotional "baggage". What I like best about the course is the insight and depth of resources that relate to each concept as it is clearly explained. What I would recommend for enhancement of the course would be to combine the workbook and devotional into one book because the devotional has you consider question on how certain concepts relates to your life, and the workbook brings up many relevant topics and then has you write the answers to the questions; consolidation would make it easier for us to track our thoughts by providing more simplicity and continuity.

Terrible. Just another Pastor trying rewrite the Word and sell a book. Every few years a book like this comes around, the whole church gets behind it, rally’s the sheeple and everyone buys into it. Huge money grab!! The only book you need is The Bible. Read it and your life will be transformed.

I would highly recommend this book! Everyone has had troubles in their life and that is OK. This book helps you take a look at how life has scarred you and how to become more emotionally healthy and enjoy your relationship with God and others more truly and genuinely. It is also just helpful for living a healthier and more fulfilling life free of emotional baggage.

This is a book for all believers to read. Far too often in Christian circles giftings are promoted when character and emotional health are lacking. Author Scazzero shares vulnerably about his own lack of emotional health. Unless we are emotionally healthy, we cannot be spiritually healthy. I am in a small group that is studying this material. I highly suggest the book, workbook and devotional books.This material WILL change your life - for the better.

Don't start this unless you are ready to take a deep dive into WHY you are the way you are and are looking for a true change. This is an amazing workbook and would refer to anyone!

I get tired of Christian self help books that tell me to basically pray harder...this book told why I feel that type of advice doesn't work.

This book is a must have for anyone looking to change his/her life for the better. It makes one think very deeply about changes that need to be made in order to become more Christ-like. In order to change for the better, we need to dig deep, practice, and look at our past to move forward in the present. I recommend this book as an amazing study.

Love this, me and my friends are doing the study and it has helped us be vulnerable and connect in a deeper level

Amazing book. Very helpful

Absolute great condition!

Total waste of money. It’s Not about Spirituality at all ! It’s complete Rubbish. Don’t waste your money !!

Fantastic
