Healing for Damaged Emotions: Workbook
Past problems can run rings around you.
Have you ever seen a cross section of the rings of a giant sequoia tree? Each ring of the tree reveals its developmental history. For example, one ring might represent a year of terrible drought while another ring shows signs of being struck by lightning. Some rings will probably show normal years of growth, but you may discover that a forest fire almost destroyed the tree.
That's the way our lives are. Just below the protective bark--the concealing, protective mask--are the recorded rings of our lives. In the rings of our thoughts and emotions, memories are recorded that deeply affect our concepts, our rings of our thoughts and emotions, memories are recorded that deeply affect our concepts, our feelings, our relationships.

This was great. The wording felt a little outdated at times, but if you're looking for a workbook to accompany your prayer time or just your life, this is a good one to consider. It's rooted in Scripture, but it also legitimizes mental health in a way that the Church, sadly, does not most of the time. I learned so much about myself and really do feel like working through this book was instrumental for my own healing. Good stuff.

Good for entry level counseling of those from a highly pietistic, holiness, and performance-based Christian background.

Takeaway: if you have big reactions to small things, journal about it.

One of my favourite books on Christian counseling so far. Not "overly spiritual" but honest, practical and down to earth.

Oh, what a balm for my troubled soul. This book brought me to tears many times as the words spoke to my heart of my need for emotional and spiritual healing.

This book changed my life. It helped repair relationships, boost self image and esteem, gave me a better insight of the Lord and what he wants of me, and I could go on and on. It took me a 5 months to finish it because it was working intensely for me. It is important to to it with the workbook.... It will change your life:). I never understood that God actually does love me until now. I've given it to family and friends.
