Your emotions are not a burden. They're a path back to God's heart.
An excerpt from the foreword by Joni Eareckson Tada: "With the book you are holding, you have stumbled upon the best of guides. I should know. I first read The Cry of the Soul decades ago when I was still sorting through a lot of hurt and frustration connected with my quadriplegia (yes, I read it on that music stand holding a mouth stick). The Cry of the Soul showed me what to do with my anger and hurt-not stuff it under the carpet of my conscience, or minimize it, but actually do something good with it."
All emotion-whether positive or negative-can give us a glimpse of the true nature of God. We want to control our negative emotions and dark desires. God wants us to recognize them as the cry of our soul to be made right with Him. Beginning with the Psalms, Cry of the Soul explores what Scripture says about our darker emotions and points us to ways of honoring God as we faithfully embrace the full range of our emotional life.
With gentle wisdom and biblical guidance, Dr. Dan B. Allender and Dr. Tremper Longman offer a roadmap for:
- Processing your God-given emotions-even the dark ones-in a healthy way
- What the Psalms teach about wrestling with pain, suffering, and brokenness as a Christian
- The positive and negative sides of anger, fear, jealousy, and despair, and what they reveal about God's character
Discover how emotions are not a hindrance to a deeper relationship with God-instead they're the cry of our souls for His restoration.
