Mastering Our Emotions - Biblical Principles for Emotional Health

Kevin Chapman

Casa editrice: IVP

Sinossi

Emotions are a gift from God—yes, even the "bad" ones.
Anxiety can keep us up at night. Anger can cause us to fly off the handle. Sadness can drain us of energy. Shame can isolate us. Emotions like these are powerful. They can tax our relationships and distress our souls. No amount of sheer willpower or good intentions are sufficient to overcome them.
But God has a good purpose for these core emotions he created. By integrating biblical truth, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices, we can move from being mastered by these emotions to living in emotional maturity. Psychologist Kevin Chapman draws on his therapeutic expertise to invite us into a deeper understanding of our own thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and avoidance behaviors—all viewed through the lens of scriptural truth and God's power to change lives.
In Mastering Our Emotions you'll find

- exercises
- worksheets
- Scripture readings, and
- reflection prompts
to help you work through challenges and develop new skills.
Rather than simply reacting to negative emotions in unhealthy ways, with God's help you can experience emotional transformation.

The Beekeeper of Bethany Ridge

Carrie Chance

Love takes patience. So does honey. 
When Laurel Hayes inherits her grandfather's weathered farm and a handful of stubborn hives, she plans to settle the debts, sell the land, and outrun her grief. Then Jonah Walker—bivocational youth pastor, next-door neighbor, and quiet keeper of second chances—offers help that looks a lot like hope. What begins as a practical partnership to start a small honey co-op becomes something deeper as wildflowers return to the ridge, neighbors gather around supper tables, and whispered prayers steady unsteady hearts. 
But saving the farm will take more than hard work. A lean harvest, a skeptical town board, and the tug of Laurel's old life test what they're building. Jonah carries losses he doesn't talk about; Laurel wrestles with a future she never planned. Together, they must learn the beekeeper's lesson: trust the process, tend what's entrusted, and wait for the sweet in God's good time. 
The Beekeeper of Bethany Ridge is a clean, wholesome Christian romance about community, calling, and the gentle way grace mends what's broken. If you love small-town settings, slow-burn tenderness, and faith woven through everyday life, this heartwarming story will leave you smiling long after the last page.
