Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for You
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
We all experience worry, hurts, triggers, and conflict, but we often suppress these emotions and keep God and others at a safe distance. Whether pressured by outside forces or compelled by an inner need for self-protection, the results are the same--our need for empathy gets stifled and we settle for shallow relationships with God, family, and friends.
In Deeply Loved, Bill and Kristi Gaultiere weave together engaging true stories with compelling insights from Scripture and modern psychology to help you
· grow in self-empathy and resist judging or rejecting your emotions
· learn how to release worries, comfort hurts, and overcome distress
· practice the Four A’s of Empathy for yourself and others
· engage Bible-based empathy practices to know you are deeply loved by Jesus
Empathy is life-giving, transformative, and empowering. It relieves stress and renews energy. It strengthens your emotional health and raises your emotional intelligence.
