RESET: Living in God's Emotional and Instinctual Balance

Book excerpt: Have you ever felt stuck? Have you been praying but feel like you're not getting any traction? Do you ever feel like you just need to start all over, hit the reset button? This book can walk you through the process of uncovering and discovering what is blocking you from living a life filled with the fruits of the Spirit. With a simple chart of nineteen instincts and emotions that can get out of balance, it's possible to identify key areas to recalibrate, in order to claim the joy that Christ gifted us with. The middle column of the chart illustrates a balanced, joyful, and fruitful life, while the rest of the chart looks at the signs along the way that indicate we're out of balance. There are key elements of our faith that can help us to move toward this balance: Getting to know our Savior better. Donning the full armor that God provides us with to battle our very real enemy. Looking with eyes wide-open at the temptation we face today. Centering our lives on Christ. Demystifying and using prayer. A closer look at these elements can help us reset, leading us to a life free of the bondage of emotions and instincts that are out of control.
