Description
What am I feeling?
Emotions can be confusing. One moment we're happy, content, and hopeful, and the next we're anxious, hurt, and overwhelmed.
But we don't have to live at the mercy of our emotions. In True Feelings, a mother-daughter team clears away common misconceptions and mixed messages about our feelings to offer us a biblical perspective on emotions-helping us understand how they work, why we feel what we feel, and how to develop good emotional habits. We will see that we don't have to ignore, excuse, or follow our feelings, but can instead learn to honor God with our emotions as an integral part of who he made us to be.
Written by a mother-daughter team with a large following as bloggers and authors
Encourages women to see their emotions as a gift from God rather than something they should ignore or excuse
Offers three habits women can cultivate to handle their emotions in a godly way
Contains an appendix on helping children handle their emotions
