Living Beyond Your Feelings: Controlling Emotions—So They Don’t Control You

Joyce Meyer. FaithWords, $21.99 (288p) ISBN 978-0-446-53852-7

Evangelical Christian author and speaker Meyer explains in her typical straightforward style how controlling emotions can be when they take over an individual’s life. Meyer is known for her bold delivery and in this work maintains that standard, offering readers plain truth on taking back a life that has been ruled by emotions for too long. The author recounts generously from her own life episodes of comical (or otherwise) moments when she allowed her emotions to overrule her better judgment, with disastrous repercussions. Readers will resonate with Meyer’s ability to relate biblical principles to daily life as she tackles the gamut of emotions: anger and resentment; sadness, loss, and grief; fear; guilt, and regret. Meyer focuses on learning to think biblically, speak biblically, and then see lives and emotions transformed. Her many fans will not feel disappointed in her latest work. (Sept.)
