The Disquieted Soul: Paths of Discovery and Deliverance

by Lane Cohee

CHANGE THE VOICE YOU HEAR We inhabit a world of Disquieted Souls, living lives of restless discontent. They are the souls who over-analyze, over-worry, over-perform, and over-protect. They are the souls running as fast as they can, trying to escape their own unhappiness. Perfectionistic extremes and addictive tendencies are their regular companions. Peace, stability, and harmony are not. We can do better than incessant disquiet. We can know more balance and tranquility, even in the midst of life’s demands. We can trace through life’s high and low tides, while remaining increasingly stable in their midst. We can increasingly live within the disharmony of life without being enslaved to that disharmony. Through the process of discovery and deliverance, we can learn—and relearn—to quiet our souls.

I was immediately drawn to Cohee’s book because I am one - a disquieted soul who longs for more freedom than I have. I know that I am not alone as I see disquiet all around me – in my neighborhood, at work and even in church. The Disquieted Soul elucidates and validates my experience of trying to “over-control” my circumstances and inevitably succumbing to a Cruel Master of my own. Cohee’s invitation is straightforward yet profound – he entreats us to stop and acknowledge the voice of shame in our heads and to reframe and replace it with truth and trust. The book invites us to confront the Demons of Disquiet that plague us and live with more hope, joy and freedom. I recommend it fully!”

This book will rejuvenate your heart! Lane Cohee’s writing is refreshingly insightful, offering epiphanies you’ll appreciate for years to come. He presents engaging real-life scenarios and a welcome path for quieting your soul and enriching your spirit. By the end you’ll gladly include meditation as part of your daily walk with God. Don’t be surprised if you pick up this book to read again and again.

Even those of us who are not type A's can relate and benefit from the author's perspective. It is well-written and a straightforward read. The author's Scripture references were well chosen and appropriate, adding credence to his struggles and victories.

It's the type of book I would read again and seek out in those "disquieted" times in life that we all have to some degree or another. It's a book I would eagerly share with others.

Cohee has a lot of good, helpful, true things in his book. In many ways, I appreciate the ways in which he points us the gospel and deals with important issues like discontent, self-pity, shame, and guilt. I didn't rate it higher because there are better books on issues of identity, assurance, and hope.

Chapters that I found especially helpful were in part 2 on Deliverance; Trusting, quieting, and meditation. The truths Lane wrote regarding identity were for me the underpinnings of it all. Who am I if I am God’s child and why does that matter.

Interesting book, makes you think.

The Disquieted Soul is one of the most insightful and valuable books I have read on personhood in our contemporary setting. The author's insights could benefit any reader, although he addresses himself particularly to individuals given to driven, performance-oriented personality traits. He provides both a solid theoretical framework for understanding these proclivities and practical guidelines for finding one's way out.
