A road map for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative.

Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was the pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do--avoid conflict in the name of Christianity; ignore his anger, sadness, and fear; use God to run from God; and live without boundaries.

Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health and the spiritual practice of slowing down and quieting your life for to experience a firsthand relationship with Jesus. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution in Scazzero, in his church, and now in thousands of other churches.

In this updated edition, Scazzero shares new stories and principles as he outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested steps to become emotionally mature:

  • Become your authentic self
  • Break the power of the past
  • Let go of power and control
  • Surrender to your limits
  • Stop to breathe by practicing rest and Sabbath
  • Learn new skills to love well
  • Love Christ above all else

Plus, check out the full line of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality books dedicated to many different key areas of life. Workbooks, study guides, curriculum, and Spanish editions are also available.

The media could not be loaded. My husband and I read this book prior to our day at the altar and it is truly life changing. We share this book with many couples and have bought 4 extra copies to gift to others. So good.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Missing Element Of Biblical Discipleship

D.D.P.C. · April 26, 2017

The two ministry points that I'm most passionate about are biblical preaching and making multiplying disciples of Jesus Christ. I have been discipling men for over thirty years and I have found that the missing element in most discipleship curriculum and workbooks is the whole area of emotional health. Peter Scazzero's books (he's also written The Emotionally Healthy Church and The Emotionally Healthy Leader) are like Biblical Discipleship 201, 301, and 401. It is essential to know how to study the Bible, pray, share one's faith, etc. However, the emotional health of Christians is often ignored, neglected, and never addressed. Along with other discipleship oriented books - Emotionally Healthy Spirituality will help make a Christian disciple truly whole and holy.As a pastor for the past thirty years In four different churches I have seen many elderly people who have been Christians for many years, but instead of being mature emotionally, many of these people have simply plateaued at the age of 10, 20, or 30 and have lived stuck in their immaturity emotionally for years. Instead of being Christians for sixty years it's more like they have lived for sixty years as a ten-year-old Christian.In this book Scazzero addresses the emotional make-up of people using a plethora of biblical and practical applications. He also draws on historical figures that have much to say about biblical emotions. He also addresses the ramifications of generational sin, familial dysfunctions, and cultural distractions that get between us and our walk with God.The first seven chapters primarily deal with the problems associated with emotionally unhealthy spirituality and the last three chapters give hope through solutions. Using a variety of spiritual disciplines and personal examples Scazzero helps the Christian identify emotional unhealthiness and easy cures based on the Scriptures. For anyone who is passionate about transformation, liberation from bondage, and following in the steps of Christ this book is a must read. It's extremely beneficial to read this book in a small group along with the workbook and DVD that are based on this book. I have taken five groups of men through this book and several of the men have described this book as "revolutionary," "paradigm-shifting," and "life-transforming."I highly recommend Scazzero's books be read along with their workbooks in small groups (men with men; and women with women) for maximum transparency, accountability, and transformation into the likeness and image of Christ.

I needed that...

P.M. · September 1, 2022

A powerful read that challenged me to go deeper and tend to the most important things of life. In this book I was forced to face all the pain and frustration of my faith. As I unpacked the disappoinment and was encouraged to considered my emotional health, I found a new way of living out my faith. A way that brings the emotional and spiritual together!

Prevents me from constantly thinking about my problems.

Where have I been all this time?

M.M. · February 25, 2023

I found the EHS devotional in my son's house and borrowed it. Then I bought the book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. From there I have bought four or five more books off the back of the author's bibliography and am still devouring. Bolo are happy with me. I AM IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE when it comes to so-called Christian books. Oswald Chambers does it. Bob Kauflin (Worship Matters). And now Peter Scarrezzo. I believe God speaks through him. He is learned, thought out and has an outlook on life that we share. I wouldn't say it has changed my life, but has shown me that I'm not that far from being OK. His nodding to our spiritual forefathers is SO comforting and so against the tide of modern theology. Bless you Peter Scarrezzo.
