So often we find ourselves caught between extremes. We feel either too much or not enough. We tend to ignore our feelings or fight them off as if they were an enemy. But all emotion—whether positive or negative—can give us a glimpse of the true nature of God. We want to control our negative emotions and dark desires. God wants us to recognize them as the cry of our soul to be made right with him.
Beginning with the Psalms, Drs. Dan Allender and Tremper Longman III explore what Scripture says about our darker emotions. In this ground-breaking work, they reveal that, often our attempts to control our emotions—far from an attempt to be Christlike—are really a form of rebellion against God or an attempt to flee from him.
