True Discipleship Integrates Emotional and Spiritual HealthNew Life
Fellowship in Queens, New York, had it all: powerful teaching,
dynamic ministries, an impressive growth rate, and a vision to do
great works for God. Things looked good--but beneath the surface,
circumstances were more than just brewing. They were about to boil
over, forcing Peter Scazzero to confront needs in his church and
himself that went deeper than he'd ever imagined. What he learned
about the vital link between emotional health, relational depth,
and spiritual maturity can shed new light on painful problems in
your own church. Here are refreshing new insights, and a different
and challenging slant on what it takes to lead your congregation to
wholeness and maturity in Christ.Our churches are in trouble, says
Scazzero. They are filled with people who are-unsure of how to
biblically integrate anger, sadness, and other emotions-defensive,
incapable of revealing their weaknesses-threatened by or intolerant
of different viewpoints-zealous about ministering at church but
blind to their spouses' loneliness at home-so involved in "serving"
that they fail to take care of themselves-prone to withdraw from
conflict rather than resolve itSharing from New Life Fellowship's
painful but liberating journey, Scazzero reveals exactly how the
truth can and does make people free--not just superficially, but
deep down. After offering a new vision of discipleship and a
revealing, guided self-assessment of your own spiritual and
emotional maturity, The Emotionally Healthy Church takes you
through six principles that can make a profound difference in your
church. You'll acquire knowledge and tools that can help you and
others - lookbeneath the surface of problems - break the power of
past wounds, failures, sins, and circumstances - live a life of
brokenness and vulnerability - recognize and honor personal
limitations and boundaries - embrace grief and loss - make
incarnation your model to love others.Written in a personal and
passionate style, The Emotionally Healthy Church includes hands-on
tools, discussion questions, spotlights on key points, and story
after story of people at New Life whose lives have been changed by
the concepts in this book. Open these pages, and find out how your
church can turn a new corner on the road to spiritual maturity.
