This book puts it finger on some good things...such as the general state of unhealthiness that is found in many evangelical churches, and that the incarnation of Jesus can be the model for healthy ministry. It is always a mystery to me that Christians, of all people, are so slow in admitting their need and sin when our gospel is one that proclaims that this is true of us, and that God loves and saves us from it.

I feel like I've read lots of nonfiction books like this one. The idea is basic, and all of the chapters are simply different anecdotes and examples of the idea. Here the message is: vulnerability = godliness. If you already agree that it's important to be honest and open with yourself and others, then this book is probably going to feel like it's much longer than 200 pages.

This is an excellent book--especially for anyone in discipleship/leadership roles. Peter Scazzero also wrote Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. I think it is similar just not geared as much towards leaders.

Pastor Pete does an amazing job at promoting emotional health as it relates to personal growth toward God and the growth of the entire church. I especially loved it because I absolutely believe how our emotional health is spun together with our spiritual and physical health.

Reading this through my small group at New Life Fellowship; also a good way to have insight to my church since my pastor write it. Addresses a lot of areas of personal growth and maturity and how that makes for an emotionally healthy church.

A relatively well-written book and interesting to read. However, it seemed much more "emotion" driven - as the title implies - rather than Biblically based (I term it psycho-babble), and so not one that I would reference.
