Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: Unleash a Revolution in Your Life In Christ by Peter Scazzero
5.0
This is my new favorite book on christian living, 10/10! I think this is a must read for every christian.
This book explains how many times in our christian communities we are taught to "deny yourself" by ignoring your feelings and robotically following the rules of your faith. However, inadvertently we are learning to detach from our humanity, stunting our emotional maturity and perpetuating a life lived in denial of who God made us to be. His main theme is that it is impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.
This book was extremely refreshing to me. I believe it would be a healing book for anyone who is dissatisfied with their christian life or has been predisposed to legalism. It is a liberating, balanced, and personalized approach to the christian life. I can not say enough good things about this book.
