This book was challenging and encouraging in a good way. I am not very in touch with my emotions and have troubles noticing, naming, and feeling. It is often easier to suppress them. I resonated with Jennie and how she shared that in the past she has been one to fix problems and have little emotions. It was encouraging to hear her share about how she has experienced this journey with her emotions over the past few years. I think this book was a great starting place and at times felt like it was written just for me. I think there is lots of opportunity to delve deeper into this topic.

This was an incredible book, I love anything by Jeannie Allen and this one did not disappoint. It was filled with depth and humor all while pointing you to God.

Love this book so much! Grateful for the reminders and the truth in this book!! I needed it so much! Looking forward to new releases from this author!

I am a long time fan of Jennie Allen. But her previous two books didn’t connect with me quite as much. Untangle Your Emotions was just the book I needed! In this book, Jennie spoke directly what I needed to hear. In the past 1-2 years I have come to realize how inexperienced I am in noticing and letting myself feel my emotions. I am good at numbing or going right into “fix it” mode. Learning to feel my real emotions and learn to honestly recognize them and acknowledge them has been life giving. High,y recommend,

I highlighted many passages and even sentences in this book. No doubt I will have more to highlight when I go through it again. The author touches on how to deal with and heal our emotions in a most practical way. What’s best is that she doesn’t leave God out of the equation as well. She also shares openly about her own emotional experiences as well as her husband’s.

What I felt could be covered more is when and how certain emotions can become sins, with biblical references.

A worthwhile read because we are creatures with emotions and sometimes we just need a bit of help with them.

4 stars from me.

So good! Such an incredibly useful work, as I have come to expect from this author. Very relevant and important perspective. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to read it.

This book is for everyone. Whether you push your emotions away or if you feel all the emotions. I love how Jennie takes a biblical approach to handling your emotions. When I read a non-fiction book, I love a good takeaway. I’ve walked away from this book knowing all emotions are good and have an important role in my life and Jennie equipped me a process to help me manage my emotions in a healthy way. Highly recommend!

Thank you for this arc!

I LOVE JENNIE ALLEN. I will always recommend EVERY book she writes. I always learn so much about myself, God, the way He created me, and how I can grow to be more like him, even as a sinful human.

In Untangle Your Emotions, Allen shows us that our emotions aren't all bad. So many times as women, we're described as "too emotional," or "an emotional mess," giving the connotation that emotions are bad. But they're not! God gave us emotions! And He gave them to us for a reason. Emotions help us know how we are feeling about something, or how we are experiencing a situation.

Not only does Allen use Biblical wisdom, but she also uses scientific research to back her claims that emotions aren't as bad as people make them out to be. In this book, she helps her readers to:

● exchange stuffing, dismissing, or minimizing your emotions for a five-step process to know what you feel and what to do about it
● debunk the myth that feelings are sinful by learning how emotional maturity leads to deeper connection with God and others
● live emotionally healthy by applying biblical wisdom and therapeutic research that works whether you self-identify as “emotional” or not
● sit with feelings that are confusing and painful by discovering the depth of God’s love and compassion for you

And much, much more!!

I was grateful for this book. As a perfectionist and fixer by nature, I find that, while I am VERY good at identifying the emotions of people around me, I struggle to able to identify and express my own emotions.

Jennie Allen hits this journey out of the park because she has been there!

I will read this book again.
#UntangleYourEmotions #NetGalley

This book is pure gold. We all need help understanding and yes, untangling our emotions. Jennie shares some simple steps for getting a handle on our emotions—who knew noticing what is happening in our bodies could be so novel and revolutionary for so many people? Jennie’s honesty, vulnerability, and humility that she brings to the table add to the authenticity and validity of the words. This a must read for any human!

I enjoyed the stories from Jennie's own life, but the 'teaching' portion? It's nothing new. As other reviewers have said, it lacked depth and didn't really talk about untangling your emotions (just "it's okay to feel emotions!!!). I've loved several of Jennie's earlier books (5 stars) and found such substance in them... this was a bummer and seems to just scratch the surface. One endorser within the book says it's worth thousands of dollars of counseling. Really??? If your counselor charges $500 per hour, maybe. But to me, and to many other reviewers I've seen, this just scratched the surface with a message of "emotions are good, it's good to feel them and talk about them, don't stuff them down." That's not actually untangling.

"Untangle Your Emotions" by Jennie Allen offers a transformative perspective on embracing emotions as a pathway to deeper connection with God and others. Allen's blend of scientific research, biblical wisdom, and personal narrative guides readers through a five-step process to understanding and navigating their feelings, leading to emotional health and spiritual growth. This insightful book challenges damaging beliefs about emotions, inviting readers to embrace their complexity and experience the profound love and compassion of God in the midst of life's ups and downs.

Absolutely in love with Jennie! I spent extra time reading this as I wanted to dive deep into my emotions as Jennie explained within the first few chapters. One thing about this book, you will gain much knowledge and understanding if you're willing to learn and move forward to a happier version of you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jennie Allen does it again! This book expertly weaves together science and biblical wisdom to explain how we can easily be ruled by our emotions, when they are simply meant to be messengers. As a Christian mental health counselor, this blends my two favorite things: psychology and faith. This book was not new information for me, but it was a good read and I will be sharing excerpts with my clients.

I am typically a pretty big Jennie Allen fan, but this one was not my favorite. I see Allen as such an authority on scripture and religious teachings, and while faith certainly intersects with brain science, I felt that her writing on the topic lacked the same confidence that I have gotten used to reading from her. I do not doubt that my own job and experience in this area contributed to the lack-luster feelings I felt about Untangle Your Emotions. I will still read anything new that comes out from Jennie!

Jennie combines biblical wisdom with research showing ways to be emotionally healthy. This book gives you permission to feel your emotions and discover what God says about them. The framework guides you through simple stages and allows you to dive deeper into truth that we were made for connection with each other and Christ. Jennie's words continue to be a gift for this generation.

I think many Christians have been taught to ignore their feelings and stuff them down inside rather than processing them and dealing with them. This is an excellent book, helping the reader to understand that feelings are part of how God made us as humans and providing practical advice on noticing, acknowledging and understanding our feelings more and learning to deal with them in a healthier way. Jennie Allen's style of writing is conversational and easy-to-read, and I appreciated the parts she shared of her personal story.

The author does a really good job of explaining feelings and telling how it is okay to have these feelings. We can all have good and bad feelings. The key to feelings is knowing how to express them in a positive way. I really enjoyed this book and found it to have many helpful hints.

Another win for Jennie Allen! I was hesitant to read this one because I am a mental health professional and feel pretty solid in my understanding and dealing of emotions, but within the first chapter, I was crying. This book is like therapy with a faith-filled friend. I highly recommend it, even if you think it won't apply to you!

My first “self help” book! This was interesting to read, and really gave me some things to think about. This book was super well written, easy to read/follow, and the personal anecdotes Jennie put in are relatable.

I’m honestly considering buying a physical copy so I can highlight and look back on things. After this, I would definitely read other books by Jennie Allen!
