Emotionally Healthy Spirituality

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.

What Are You Missing?
Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can?t be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was 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

• Live without boundaries

Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health, a relationship with Jesus, and the classic practices of contemplative spirituality. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution, utterly transforming him and his church.
In this book Scazzero outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested ways to break through to the revolutionary life Christ meant for you. ?The combination of emotional health and contemplative spirituality,? he says, ?unleashes the Holy Spirit inside us so that we might experientially know the power of an authentic life in Christ.?
