~ Our emotions are powerful. We experience them so tangibly that they can often feel all-consuming. At one time or another, we will all have experienced what Catherine Haddow calls 'tears, fears and sneers' - those darker, harder emotions. We often don't know what to do with them. Sometimes we feel helplessly controlled by them, unable to see anything other than the emotion. At other times, we try and hide them from others and from God.
In this book, you'll see that our emotions are vitally important as they are 'spiritual smoke alarms' that can alert us to the state of our heart. Catherine presents her own 'tbH' model which, when followed, helps us to understand our thoughts, emotions and behaviours in more detail, each providing vital information about the compelling desires, flowing from our hearts. She then helps us to apply biblical wisdom to where we're struggling, inviting God to change and transform us from the heart of the emotion - the core of our being.
