Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had been watching Joyce Meyer on television for many years. Her background of abuse and emotional turmoil was something that drew me to her. Emotionally, I had no connections.
Not long ago I was in a season of emotional winter. Everything looked dark, cold and dreary. I had confessed many scriptures, read many books, but could not shake off my winter of discontent. I hate to admit it- but I was depressed. During this season I joined a book club and "Managing Your Emotions" was one of the books I selected.
When it arrived I was a little hesitant to open it because I did not know how it was going to challenge me. I started reading it and I was able to identify with some destructive cycles that I was going around in. I was always getting my feelings hurt, feeling rejected, feeling alone and unwanted. Joyce went through those cycles especially in dealing with her husband, Dave. As I read the book I started to realize that if she overcame all of those things then I could too.
There was no quick fix but she had to get in the word of God and start to believe what God said about her. She believed that God loved her and that he had good plans for her. She had to confess the scriptures daily and over a period of time she learned how to manage or take control over her feelings.
One thing that she mentioned in her book that was extremely powerful for me was the fact that God gave us these emotions but we needed to know when to express them. I learned that I could get angry, only I should not stay in anger because it produces bitterness. This book really helped me and reading it was like a therapy session.
Everyone who is breathing, has friends, families, children, co-workers etc. can benefit from reading this book. It might not be for you but it can help you to help someone else. It is information we all can use. (1-26-2004)
