A road map for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative.

Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was the pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do--avoid conflict in the name of Christianity; ignore his anger, sadness, and fear; use God to run from God; and live without boundaries.

Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health and the spiritual practice of slowing down and quieting your life for to experience a firsthand relationship with Jesus. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution in Scazzero, in his church, and now in thousands of other churches.

In this updated edition, Scazzero shares new stories and principles as he outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested steps to become emotionally mature:

• Become your authentic self
• Break the power of the past
• Let go of power and control
• Surrender to your limits
• Stop to breathe by practicing rest and Sabbath
• Learn new skills to love well
• Love Christ above all else

Great thoughts on what it looks like to live out faith and how to practically grow daily. Very challenging!

[Frank Denisi · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A good listen, I don’t agree too much with his dabbling with eastern monk’s philosophy though. However overall, this book is helpful.

Recommended by my church. However, I did some more digging. I can't trust someone who pretends to be an emotionally healthy pastor and drinks alcohol. That's called counterfeit comfort. We're supposed to have the Holy Spirit. That, and this whole system is based on yet another "gram". The only good grams I know that aren't satanic (inherently) are crackers & moms. No thank you
