An excellent, thorough overview of a Christian lens for human emotions—and sensitive to mental health. I’d liken it to Dr. Curt Thompson’s books (Anatomy of the Soul, The Soul of Shame, and The Deepest Place) or Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazzero.
My biggest gripe is the formatting. I like other HR devotions I’ve read, there is literally no space to take notes in the margins, to reflect at the end of each chapter, etc.
It’s also worth noting that, while it is 8 chapters long, I wouldn’t consider it to be an 8 week devotional in that there are no recommendations for how much material to cover in each day.
I don’t know if I’d consider it to be a devotional at all when compared to the way other HR books are set up for engagement, but still worth the purchase and very engaging + a text I’ll revisit.
