Emotionally Healthy Spirituality

Book • 2017
In this book, Peter Scazzero shares his personal journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality.

He argues that emotional health and spiritual maturity are inseparable and provides seven biblical, reality-tested steps to achieve emotional maturity.

These steps include becoming your authentic self, breaking the power of the past, letting go of power and control, surrendering to your limits, practicing rest and Sabbath, learning new skills to love well, and loving Christ above all else.

The book emphasizes the importance of self-knowledge, contemplative practices, and the integration of emotional health into Christian discipleship.
