Bent Out of Shape

Why do so many people get stuck in anger, resentment, bitterness, and unforgiveness? Why are fear and worry so rampant these days? Have you ever felt immobilized by depression or discontented with your lot in life? What can we do about all of these distressing emotional states?

Everyone wants to experience love, joy, and peace more often-yet these desirable states of being sometimes seem elusive. Instead, we too often feel stressed, frustrated, beaten down, ticked off, or shaken up.

For Christians, these issues are especially pertinent because we believe the Bible promises us love, joy, and peace. Why then do so many Christians feel that life is such an emotional struggle? How are we meant to find and maintain sound emotional health, wholeness, and well-being? How do we move from our anger, anxiety, depression, and discontentment, to more love, joy, peace, faith, and hope? Where is God in all of this? What are we supposed to do and what does He promise to do for us?

To answer these questions, this book combines personal stories, stories of well-known Christians past and present, hundreds of Bible references, and insights from Christian doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and pastors, including those of Dr. Sam Henein. Whether you are a mature Christian, or someone interested in exploring the practical relevance of the Christian faith, this book offers help for how we really feel.
