This post is brief without a lot of details about Untangle Your Emotions, written by Jennie Allen. The reason for this is simple. The deeper into the book I get, the more I want everyone to read it.
Chapters Three and Four dive into what God, the Bible, and the church says about emotions. That’s all I am going to say as far as a synopsis of the two chapters. I am having difficulty restraining myself with my opinions, though. The only reason why I am not running on and on is due to my ongoing eye issues.
Put simply, I found chapters three and four of Untangle Your Emotions fascinating. Ms Allen’s assertions had me running for a Bible dictionary as well as Strong’s Concordance just so that I might gain a little more understanding into at least one of the Bible verses she references. Ms Allen discussed a passage that I have wondered about, but not enough to study it, even a small amount. Now, after hearing my spouse read it aloud (eye trouble, remember?), and Ms Allen’s discussion, both my spouse and I wished that the church leaders we’ve heard on the topic of emotions had Ms. Allen’s clarity and insight.
I am looking forward to the remainder of Untangle Your Emotions. Sometimes, I am a little frustrated with the speed of which I am getting through the book. If I were reading it on my own, I would be finished with it by now. This feeling of frustration is eclipsed by how grateful I am that my spouse is encouraging me in my reviews of Untangle Your Emotions by taking the time to read it aloud to me. I haven’t seen a word of print, and already my life has benefited by Jennie Allen’s latest book. I know that it will help many people.
