EMOTIONS

Everyone feels overcome by their emotions at times. The very emotions that were created as a gift from God often turn on us and wreak havoc in our lives. Rather than simply telling us to "control our emotions," Dr. Charles Stanley gently leads us through biblical truths that give insight into the root causes of negative emotions and guides us on the path to peace and joy.

Dr. Stanley deals with the five key harmful emotions--fear, guilt, rejection, bitterness, and despair--and leads readers to a new way of thinking and a dependance on the Holy Spirit and God's Word to help them overcome these crushing emotions and lead a life of joy and peace.
