Examining Difficult Positive and Negative Emotions: A Christian’s Perspective on Promoting Emotional Well-Being

By Amanda Libbers

Image dealing with the difficult positive emotion of happiness. What would that look like to you? Or how about Depression or Sadness? Or even Peace? These are just some of the topics covers in Examining Difficult Positive and Negative Emotions: A Book that promotes Emotional Well-Being--A Christian's Perspective. People may not oridnarily think that happiness is difficult to deal with or that peace is an emotion because it is a state of being. Emotions can be states of being, and no matter how difficult they are we all seemed to get caught up in them sooner or later. This book discusses some insightful information about each emotion discussed, and then it says what the bible says on this topic. It then interperts what the bible says on the topic and ties it back to the original insightful information on whatever emotion is being covered in that chapter. But that's not all this book will do for you! This book has journal entries on the different emotions covered to help you resolve your own issues with the emotion being disscussed. Think of the growth you'll have once you've answered the journal entries. If you are looking for personal growth in an insightful, bibical, way, this is the book for you!
