Synopsis

Emotional Healthy Spirituality is a groundbreaking work on the integration of emotional health and contemplative spirituality that current models of discipleship fail to address. Many sincere followers of Christ, followers who are really passionate for God, join a church, participate weekly in a small group, serve with their gifts, and who are considered "mature," remain stuck at a level of spiritual immaturity—especially when faced with interpersonal conflicts and crises.
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality
offers a strategy for discipleship that address this void, offering powerful pathways to transformation that will help readers mature into a faith filled with authenticity and a profound love for God.

Scazzero (cofounder, Ctr. for Emotional Health & Spirituality) follows up the success of his 2003 book, The Emotionally Healthy Church, with this application of its insights for the individual churchgoer and believer. He grounds his work with the near-failure of his marriage amid a successful pastorship and warns against "using God to run from God" and "judging other people's spiritual journey," to name a few of the symptoms of spiritual unhealth he discovers. His solution includes a deeply contemplative spirituality, a welcome surprise in the conservative Christian field. For most collections. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
