Jay’s Library has put up a review of The Emotionally Healthy Church (HT: djchuang.com). Interesting how spiritual maturity is linked with emotionally maturity:
It didn’t really make sense though–since I immediately equated a “tantrum” in someone else as not only emotional immaturity but also spiritual immaturity. Yet somehow, I overlooked the conjunction of the two in my own approach to spiritual growth. Not any more!
The book offers these four points:
- It Is Impossible To Be Spiritually Mature Without Being Emotionally Mature.
- To Be Emotionally Mature You Must Be Willing To Look Beneath The Surface.
- To Be Emotionally Mature You Must Go Backward To Go Forward.
- To Be Emotionally Mature You Must Learn To Manage Pain.
As I recall, I think John Stott had something to say on the maturity of the church.
