Siete maneras comprobadas para aprovechar el poder de una vida auténtica. Peter Scazzero aprendió de la forma más difícil: no puedes ser espiritualmente maduro si permaneces emocionalmente inmaduro. A pesar de que era pastor de una iglesia en crecimiento, él hizo lo que la mayoría de las personas hace:
- Evitar conflicto en nombre del cristianismo
- Ignorar la ira, tristeza y miedo
- Usar a Dios para huir de Dios
- Vivir sin fronteras
Eventualmente Dios lo despertó a una integración bíblica de salud emocional, una relación con Jesús, y las prácticas clásicas de la espiritualidad contemplativa. Lo que creó nada más ni nada menos que una revolución espiritual, transformándolo radicalmente a él y su iglesia.
En este libro, Scazzero resume su jornada y los signos reveladores de una espiritualidad emocionalmente enferma. Asimismo, presenta siete formas bíblicas y probadas en la práctica, de abrirse paso a la vida revolucionaria que Cristo quiso que tú vivieras.
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality
Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was a pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do:
- Avoided conflict in the name of Christianity
- Ignored his anger, sadness, and fear
- Used God to run from God
- Lived without boundaries
Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health, a relationship with Jesus, and the classic practices of contemplative spirituality. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution, utterly transforming him and his church.
In this bestselling book Scazzero outlines his journey and the signs of emotionally unhealthy spirituality. Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested ways to break through to the revolutionary life Christ meant for you.
The Christian faith is supposed to produce deep, positive change. So why doesn't it seem to work in 'real life'? That question screamed at Pastor Peter Scazzero when his church and marriage hit bottom and every Christian remedy produced nothing but anger and fatigue. As he began digging under the 'good Christian' veneer, he discovered entire emotional layers of his life that God had not yet touched. And that emotional immaturity had fed his spiritual immaturity. In this book, he unveils what's wrong with our conventional means of 'spiritual growth' and offers not only a model of spirituality that actually works, but seven steps to transformation that will help readers experience a faith charged with authenticity, contemplation and a hunger for God.
