Is your emotion friend or foe?...fact or fake? We must know. Emotion is reshaping reality in the postmodern world. Creeds bow to passion...doctrines defer to mystery...logic submits to metaphor. The fastest growing churches explode from the experience of an emotion-driven faith. And, in the secular world, the entertainment industry attacks us with unending sensory demands. Increasingly, we base decisions on the subjective feelings of a virtual reality world. Right or wrong, we "let it all hang out." Author Thomas Hohstadt discerns the difference between counterfeit emotion that destroys and authentic passion that brings grace and glory to an empowered, twenty-first century existence.
This is a very insightful and new approach to the whole aspect of feeling and knowing God. I read it with tremendous interest and feel that this work is extremely valuable to those of us on this journey. It is also a tool that we can give our friends who are in this search. It certainly adds a dimension that I have not seen in other works. This book is excellent and worthy of wide distribution.
A Book for Thinking Christians!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Dr. Hohstadt, in this thoughtful and well-written book, has once again presented a logical and intellectual presentation of deep truths based on the Word of God. I value his insightful perspective on emotion--the human vs. the spiritual. Faith based on human emotion will not last; faith based on spiritual emotion, as the author suggests, will result in solid Christian living...i believe he's hit the nail on the head in a great exposition of a great truth we need to hear--deep in the recesses of our spirits. It's a book for deep thinkers--and I highly recommend it!
