Our emotions are powerful. We experience them so tangibly that they can often feel all-consuming.nAt one time or another, we will all have experienced what Catherine Haddow calls ‘tears, fears andnsneers’ – those darker, harder emotions. We often don’t know what to do with them. Sometimes wenfeel helplessly controlled by them, unable to see anything other than the emotion.nIn this book, you’ll see that our emotions are vitally important as they are ‘spiritual smoke alarms’nthat can alert us to the state of our heart. Catherine presents her own model which helps us tonunderstand our thoughts, emotions and behaviours in more detail, each providing vital informationnabout the compelling desires flowing from our hearts. She then helps us to apply biblical wisdom tonwhere we’re struggling, inviting God to change and transform us from the heart of the emotion – thencore of our being.
