Emotionally Healthy Spirituality

Explore the connection between emotional maturity and a deeper life with Jesus.

Peter Scazzero learned the hard way that spiritual maturity and emotional maturity belong together. Even as pastor of a growing church, he avoided conflict, ignored anger, sadness, and fear, and lived without boundaries.

His journey led to a biblical integration of emotional health with the spiritual practice of slowing down and quieting life to experience a firsthand relationship with Jesus. In this book, Scazzero shares that journey and identifies signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality.

He outlines seven steps toward emotional maturity, including becoming your authentic self, confronting the power of the past, releasing control, accepting limits, practicing rest and Sabbath, learning to love well, and loving Christ above all else. This discipleship resource invites readers to consider how their inner lives affect their relationships with God and other people.
