This book is meant to help "regulate emotions" of anxiety, anger, while also touching on the benefits of sadness, guilt, shame, and disgust. It talks about how these emotions can be useful and ways to work through them-like praying, journaling, being present, practicing stillness and silence, and trusting in the Lord.
One of the main things I took away from it was that emotions are a triad: thoughts, physical feelings, and behavior and that we have to be adaptive & aware. But when it came to scripture, I wish the author had actually explored the verses instead of just saying, "For more on this, look up C subject." It felt like a missed opportunity. The structure also wasn't great
-the topics jumped back and forth, especially with anxiety and anger, which made it hard to follow. It would have been better if each emotion had its own chapter instead of being mixed together.
Overall, this book felt very surface-level. I could see how it might be useful for a beginner, maybe in a group setting where people could discuss it together. But for someone who already reads the Bible regularly and follows Jesus, it just felt repetitive. A nice reminder, but not life-changing.
