Embrace your negative emotions (anger, worry, fear) to reveal truths about God and gain a more intimate relationship with Him.
Your emotions are not a burden. Theyre a path back to Gods heart.
An excerpt from the foreword by Joni Eareckson Tada: With the book you are holding, you have stumbled upon the best of guides. I should know. I first read The Cry of the Soul decades ago when I was still sorting through a lot of hurt and frustration connected with my quadriplegia (yes, I read it on that music stand holding a mouth stick). The Cry of the Soul showed me what to do with my anger and hurtnot stuff it under the carpet of my conscience, or minimize it, but actually do something good with it.
All emotionwhether positive or negativecan give us a glimpse of the true nature of God. We want to control our negative emotions and dark desires.

Open a window into your heart. So often we find ourselves caught between extremes. Either we feel too much or not at all. We tend to ignore our feelings or fight them off as if they were an enemy.

God wants us to recognize them as the cry of our soul to be made right with Him. Beginning with the Psalms, Dr. Dan Allender and Dr. Tremper Longman III explore what Scripture says about our darker emotions. In this groundbreaking work they reveal that often our attempts to control our emotions, far from an attempt to be Christlike, are really a form of rebellion against God or an attempt to flee from him.
