Boundaries for Your Soul by Alison Cook and Kimberly Miller

A book that looks to turn your overwhelming thoughts and feelings into your greatest allies.

Cook and Miller have created an enjoyable read that covers topics such as: know what to do when you feel overwhelmed; understand your guilt, anxiety, sadness, and fear; welcome God into the troubling parts of your soul; and move from doubt and conflict to confidence and peace.

The anecdotes are down to earth. The exercises and quizzes add just enough practicality to the deeper ideas.

The book is broken down into three parts. The first part is more like an introduction to the concept of the soul and how that effects you as a person.

Part two covers the five steps you take in order to makes thoughts and feelings your allies. They include: focus, befriend, invite, unburden, and integrate. They dive deep into these concepts to help you actually do it.

Part three covers specific emotions: anger, anxiety, sadness, envy, and guilt.

This is a great book to read through and participate in as you work through the exercises and apply the anecdotes.

This book was provided, at no cost, by Thomas Nelson Publishing.
