Resumen del Editor

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of Get Out of Your Head provides a revolutionary path to embracing a healthy relationship with your emotions, one that leads to life-giving connection with God and others as well as to a richer understanding of yourself.

“This book is worth thousands of dollars of counseling.”—Jonathan Pokluda, bestselling author and host of the Becoming Something podcast

How often have you heard, “Don’t let your emotions get the best of you”? But what if instead of ignoring our feelings, we noticed them, named them, and let God use them to draw us closer to Himself and others?

Many of us need to unlearn damaging messages about our emotions. We’ve been taught, for example, that emotions are untrustworthy, when, in fact, God can use them to help us see where we need His healing.

In Untangle Your Emotions, Jennie Allen uses scientific research, biblical insight, and her own story to help you

● exchange stuffing, dismissing, or minimizing your emotions for a five-step process to know what you feel and what to do about it

● debunk the myth that feelings are sinful by learning how emotional maturity leads to deeper connection with God and others

● live emotionally healthy by applying biblical wisdom and therapeutic research that works whether you self-identify as “emotional” or not

● sit with feelings that are confusing and painful by discovering the depth of God’s love and compassion for you

Feelings aren’t something to fix; they are something to feel. As we discover how to name and navigate our emotions, we’ll learn how they can draw us closer to the God who built us—soul, mind, and heart.

You won’t learn how to just manage emotion but how to fully feel—and how the emotions first found in God bless us, bless others, and build up His church.”—Phylicia Masonheimer, founder and CEO of Every Woman a Theologian

So helpful!

At first I wondered if I would truly learn anything significant enough. Well that was prideful! This was so helpful.
Also it’s a book I listened to mostly when driving and it wasn’t so intense that it distracted me while driving yet intriguing enough to keep me going.

Great read

So helpful as a person who has always been very emotional it really helped me understand and not feel bad for having all the feelings

Excellent book

I absolutely love this book. I’m gonna recommend it to all my friends and anyone that I see is struggling with their emotions. learning to feel my feelings after so many years of not trusting them is a new challenge.

Love it!

Love everything about this book! So helpful and honest. It was one of my favorites by the author.

So good! A must Read!

If you struggle with your feelings, extremely emotional or unemotional, this is a book for you! I am a recovering ‘suffer in silence’ type of person, I have been walking through this with a counselor so this book couldn’t have come out at a better time for me.

This is not a book to sit down and read through in a day, or a week. Each chapter and sometimes each page needs to be unpacked and processed. I recommend journaling along with reading. I am so glad she wrote a Bible Study to go along with this book, because I can’t wait to reread and unpack with a group of close friends.

The sample should reveal…

…that this is a faith based book. I wish I could return it. Too much Bible stuff. The sample have no indication I was about to hear this.

I’m being untangled

I am a big Jennie fan but I believe this is my favorite book of hers I’ve read so far.
It has been so helpful for me to work through. I am currently untangling my emotions from idolatry, postpartum, being stuck in the numb, and having a spouse who does not like emotions. This book has already allowed me to break down walls and I am starting to allow myself to feel. I want to be emotionally healthy to honor the Lord with my life 🙌🏼
