The Emotionally Healthy Church

Summary

The newly updated and expanded edition of the groundbreaking best seller The Emotionally Healthy Church features a fuller, deeper look at the six principles contained in the original and includes a crucial additional chapter: "Slow Down to Lead with Integrity". Our churches are in trouble, says Scazzero. They are filled with people who are: Unsure how to biblically integrate anger, sadness, and other emotions Defensive, incapable of revealing their weaknesses Threatened by or intolerant of different viewpoints Zealous about ministering at church but blind to their spouses' loneliness at home So involved in "serving" that they fail to take care of themselves Prone to withdraw from conflict rather than resolve it Sharing from New Life Fellowship's painful but liberating journey, Scazzero reveals exactly how the truth can and does make you free - not just superficially but deep down. You'll acquire knowledge and tools that can help you and others: Look beneath the surface of problems Break the power of past wounds, failures, sins, and circumstances Live a life of brokenness and vulnerability Recognize and honor personal limitations and boundaries Embrace grief and loss Make incarnation your model to love others Slow down to lead with integrity This new edition shares powerful insights on how contemplative spirituality can help you and your church slow down - an integral key to spiritual and emotional health.
