A New Picture for Your Past, A Healthy Way of Managing Your Emotions, A Fresh Perspective on Relationships
"Becoming Who God Intended" answers the heart questions of those who are deeply frustrated with their Christian life: Is it "normal" that my emotional experience doesn't match up with the Bible?" Why do I feel "alive" only when I engage in habitual sins and compulsions?" Do I just have to live with anxiety, anger, shame, and depression?" Every person's "heart life" is filled with "pictures" of reality-often false ones, says David Eckman. But as believers use the truth of their new identity in Christ to develop "biblical "pictures, they will be able to truly accept God's acceptance of them, be freed from negative emotions and habitual sins...and finally experience a life that matches what Scripture promises.
