From the Back Cover
Emotional health and spiritual maturity are inseparable: that is the premise of the award-winning book The Emotionally Healthy Church. This stand-alone workbook helps leaders and lay persons alike apply the biblical truths in Peter Scazzero’s revolutionary book to their personal lives, small groups, and churches. Eight studies take you beyond merely reading about emotional health to actually cultivating it as a disciple of Jesus. Step by step, you’ll discover what it means to have Christ transform the deep places hidden beneath the surface so that you might become more authentic and loving toward God, others, and yourself.

Customer Reviews

GREAT!
I bought this workbook after reading both of Peter Scazzero's other books on Emotional Health. This book is great if you are doing the book as a part of a small group. It has easy to read and follow sections. It is also good to use with the book for individual study. The discussion topics almost require that you have read the book. I added more questions to each section because it did not contain enough material to last the duration of my small group session. I LOVE all of his books on emotional health. I recommend buying this book so that you can complete your "library" on emotional healthiness. This is a definite buy!

An absolutely necessary change...
Do you have any doubt that there is a problem in the world of the church as it is? Then stay away from this product! This book starts with the assumption that there is a problem within the institution and this book acta as a means to help solve the problem.

By all means, read this book and put it into practice if you see a problem. The hard part may be finding peopl who agree with you. However, if you ae lucky enough to do so, then your efforts may be rewarded.

BTW, do not expect this change to take place overnight. It cannot be mandated, it can only be accepted by people who really do see a problem.
