Mastering Your Emotions

Adrian Rogers wrote: "Many people who have studied the Bible have commented to me, 'I want to be like those heroes and heroines in the Bible. They weren't like me, all upset and emotional, going up and down...' Really? The fact is: the Bible paints a candid picture of its greatest men and women and all they suffered as flesh-and-blood human beings. They contended with and grappled with all kinds of emotions, healthy and unhealthy." And all of us do to one degree or another. Aware persons will realize that negative emotions plague them. Rogers delves into guilt, fear, insecurity, frustration, bewilderment, doubt, inferiority, loneliness, stress, bitterness, and depression. Using case studies from the Bible and sound principles of psychology, Dr. Rogers explains how we can master these emotions and turn them around for our benefit.
