Seven reality-tested ways to harness the power of an authentic life
Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was a pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do:
• Avoided conflict in the name of Christianity
• Ignored his anger, sadness, and fear
• Used God to run from God
• Lived without boundaries
Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health, a relationship with Jesus, and the classic practices of contemplative spirituality. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution, utterly transforming him and his church.
In this bestselling book Scazzero outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested ways to break through to the revolutionary life Christ meant for you.
"The combination of emotional health and contemplative spirituality," Scazzero says, "unleashes the Holy Spirit inside us so that we might experientially know the power of an authentic life in Christ."
