Those Ugly Emotions: How to Manage Your Emotions
Overview
Essentially you can be viewed in three different ways. The person you think you are, the person other people think you are and the person God knows you to be. So the first place we should go to in order to understand how to manage our emotions, is God's word. Because only God really knows who we are.
Our real life has those uncontrolled times that we don't want others to know about, the times when we really dislike ourselves, those moments we even try to hide from God. Ken Campbell shows us where those 'ugly' emotions inside us come from and how to deal with them. This book is not lukewarm psychology dressed up as Christianity but a biblical way of dealing with our darker side. It is wonderfully practical but yet deeply spiritual and help us get to grips with the thoughts, attitudes and behavior that can drag us down.

“uncritically accepting false information causes fear” (Page 22)
“Like all emotions, anger can be constructive or destructive. It is destructive if it harms someone, either ourselves or someone else. It is constructive if it leads us to take action to resolve or improve a situation. If we suppress our anger, we hurt ourselves; if we let it explode, we hurt others.” (Page 51)
“3. Interpret the occasion for your fear in the light of God’s Word.” (Page 25)
“Anger itself is not so much the problem, as what we do with it.” (Page 54)
“ Recognize the existence of anger and strive to control it.” (Page 56)
