Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You Into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection

Bys: Holsclaw, Cyd and Holsclaw Phd, Geoff

Does it feel like you experience life in a totally different way than others? Like you are living somewhere else, and you can't build connection or intimacy with God like others can?

There's a good chance that you, like so many of us, have tried it all: read your Bible more, gone to church more, prayed more, and delved deeper into self-awareness. But you still struggle with discontent, anxiety, avoidance and doubt. You still feel stuck.

No matter where you find yourself emotionally, relationally, or spiritually, Jesus meets you there and helps you move toward a place of peace and rest. As pastors, coaches, and educators, Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw are very familiar with this struggle, and they are prepared to help. In Landscapes of the Soul, they draw on the science and spirituality of attachment theory, biblical wisdom, and the language of spiritual formation to show us why Christians tend to get stuck spiritually--and how to get unstuck and move forward.

Whether you feel like you're living in a spiritual jungle, desert, or war zone, you will discover: how you are designed to grow good roots through healthy relational attachmenthow things go wrong through your often-distorted survival strategieshow God repairs your faith, hope, and love for Him, others, and ourselveshow Jesus quiets your anxious and avoidant faithhow to incorporate practices for building your security with GodYou aren't meant to live in the anxiety of a jungle, the desolation of a desert, or the chaos of a war zone. God designed you to live in joy and peace in relationship with Him, as if you are in a pasture, under the protective care of the Good Shepherd.

What good news this book advocates!

I am working on becoming more emotionally healthy which has led me to read books on attachment theory. This book communicates the different styles of attachment that were formed during our upbringing in an easy to remember and more positive way than I’ve read elsewhere and gives me hope for change! “These landscapes are places you live in and live from. But these landscapes are not your identity.” Cyd and Geoff list strengths as well as challenges with each attachment style and lay out very helpful ways to move and respond to life and people in a more securely attached way. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper connection to others and God.
