ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Your emotions are not something to suppress or ignore. They are meant to be felt, examined, and shared--and in this revolutionary book from the bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head, you'll learn how embracing a healthy relationship with your emotions can bring freedom and healing in every area of your life. Through personal experience and countless conversations, speaker and Bible teacher Jennie Allen has come to realize that most of us need to unlearn some deeply damaging messages about our emotions. We've been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy when, in fact, they are a gift from God to help us notice what is wrong and where we need to heal. In this transformational look at our inner life through the lens of science and Scripture, Allen shows how, instead of managing and minimizing our difficult emotions, we can intentionally notice, name, and connect with our feelings in ways that lead to deeper connection and lasting health.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - ECPA CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD FINALIST - The author of Get Out of Your Head provides a revolutionary path to embracing a healthy relationship with your emotions, one that leads to life-giving connection with God and others as well as to a richer understanding of yourself. "This book is worth thousands of dollars of counseling."--Jonathan Pokluda, bestselling author and host of the Becoming Something podcast How often have you heard, "Don't let your emotions get the best of you"? But what if instead of ignoring our feelings, we noticed them, named them, and let God use them to draw us closer to Himself and others? Many of us need to unlearn damaging messages about our emotions. We've been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy, when, in fact, God can use them to help us see where we need His healing. In Untangle Your Emotions, Jennie Allen uses scientific research, biblical insight, and her own story to help you ● exchange stuffing, dismissing, or minimizing your emotions for a five-step process to know what you feel and what to do about it● debunk the myth that feelings are sinful by learning how emotional maturity leads to deeper connection with God and others● live emotionally healthy by applying biblical wisdom and therapeutic research that works whether you self-identify as "emotional" or not● sit with feelings that are confusing and painful by discovering the depth of God's love and compassion for you Feelings aren't something to fix; they are something to feel. As we discover how to name and navigate our emotions, we'll learn how they can draw us closer to the God who built us--soul, mind, and heart.

New York Times Bestseller. Utsedd till en av årets bästa böcker av Cosmopolitan. Har du tvångstankar i stil med: Jag kommer aldrig att duga. Andra har bättre liv än jag. Gud kan inte älska mig på riktigt. Jennie Allen vet hur det känns att snurra runt i en negativ spiral av nedbrytande tankar, men hon vet också att vi inte behöver sitta fast i skadliga tankebanor. Av egen erfarenhet vet hon att Gud har gett oss ett sätt att ta oss ur den nedåtgående spiralen. Vi upplever befrielse när vi vägrar vara offer för våra tankar och inser att Gud redan gett oss kraft att gå segrande ur striden om vårt tankeliv. I "Vinn över dina tankar" inspirerar Jennie oss och ger oss förutsättningar att förändra våra känslor, vår inställning till livet och till och med våra omständigheter när vi tar kontroll över våra tankar. Fienden är fast besluten att påverka vårt tankeliv för att vi ska känna oss hjälplösa, nedtryckta och oförmögna att uträtta något för Guds rike. Men när vi överlåter våra tankar till Kristus fylls våra liv på ett märkligt sätt till brädden av Guds löften och godhet. Det är i tankarna allt tar sin början, och utifrån det blir allting möjligt.

Stopping the spiral of toxic thoughts by learning how to become imitators of Christ. Are your thoughts holding you captive? Jennie Allen--the visionary behind the million-strong IF:Gathering--knows what it's like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, and she knows that from those thoughts, beliefs begin to form: "I'll never be good enough." "Other people have better lives than I do." "God couldn't really love me." We spiral down and down. Changing the way we think seems nearly impossible. And yet the apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Philippians that conforming our minds to Christ is possible, and it's the ultimate goal for every follower of Christ. In Get Out of Your Head, a six-session video Bible study (DVD/streaming video sold separately), Jennie gives us tools from the book of Philippians to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances, by taking control of our minds. We can find freedom from the downward spiral by:Taking every thought captive to make it obedient to ChristShifting the focus of our minds from our circumstances to GodFighting toxic thoughts with weapons of humility, silence, and delightEscaping our comfort zones with weapons of connection, intentionality and gratitudeLearning to forget what's behind so we can move aheadDefeating anxiety with a mind like Christ'sOur enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways. The Get Out of Your Head Study Guide uses projects, stories, and Bible study in the book of Philippians to engage the mind and heart. Sessions include:Introduction: Spiraling OutMake the ShiftWeapons We Use, Part IWeapons We Use, Part IIA New Way to LiveA Mind Like ChristDesigned for use with the Get Out of Your Head Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.
