Unglued

Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions

De: Lysa TerKeurst

Narrado por: Lysa TerKeurst

Do you ever feel like your emotions are working against you? Though we may find ourselves stuffing down emotions, exploding with emotions, or reacting somewhere in between, Lysa TerKeurst assures us it’s possible to make our emotions work for us.

Lysa admits that she, like most women, has had experiences where others bump into her happy and she comes emotionally unglued. But the good news is, God gave us emotions to experience life, not destroy it. With gut-honest personal examples and biblical teaching, Lysa shows us how to use our emotions for good.

Unglued will equip you to:

• Know with confidence how to resolve conflict in your important relationships
• Find peace in your most difficult relationships as you learn to be honest but kind when offended
• Identify what type of reactor you are and how to significantly improve your communication
• Respond with no regrets by managing your tendencies to stuff, explode, or react somewhere in between
• Gain a deep sense of calm by responding to situations out of your control without acting out of control

Listen, re listen, and then listen again

I run to this book every time I have an issue with my husband, mother, siblings, friends, teachers, really anyone that I wrestle with. Lysa gives such amazing advice on how to handle both the everyday and the tough situations with grace and mercy.

Unglued -- Big points for anyone on the verge

I not only read Unglued, highlighting, underlining and circling passages along the way, by Lysa Terkeurst, I listened to it -- twice. First of all, I absolutely LOVE the way she reads her books. She doesn't sound boring (like Simon Sinek in The Why), nor does she sound like she's yelling at you. She sounds like she's talking to you, and it is very calming and satisfying to hear. The inflection of her voice, her chuckles, the way she emphasizes certain words -- it's all part of the experience of diving into this intricately designed book to help one overcome the habit of becoming unglued. The book is expertly written, with each chapter making a certain point. The wisdom imparted is truly inspiring and Lysa reasons out her points with real life examples (some that will make you laugh hysterically). If you're a mom, caretaker, or anything close to that and are a woman on the edge, then this book is for you. NOTE: the accompanying workbook (for Bible study) is homework-heavy, so if you're going to do both, plan to set aside plenty of time for the workbook requirements.

I AM NOT WHAT I THOUGT, I AM NORMAL!

Having a challenging time balancing marriage, motherhood, ministry, and s desire to work outside the home. Found myself yelping at spouse, kids, birds, etc. But I love God, why am I acting unloving? This book truly gave me a sense of calmness in knowing that I'm not alone.

Candid and Enjoyably Helpful

What a Blessing

It's like she pulled everything out of my own mind and heart. Like she wrote this book just for me. She put into words everything I felt and didn't know how to say myself ❤😭😇

Listen to it every couple weeks for a re-charge!

Would you consider the audio edition of Unglued to be better than the print version?

Much easier to listen while I am doing other things like cleaning or driving.

Lysa is a Christian that is nOt Holier-than-thou, thus I felt human in my mistakes as a person, a Christian.

Thank you Lysa. Thank you!

All moms need to hear

As a mom of 4 small children I struggle with feeling unglued when I'm too low on sleep and too tight on time. When I do become unglued I struggle with the shame and guilt that follow. Lisa's book encouraged me that I am not alone in my struggle, what I can do with it, and how God can use it.

a book for those who don't have it altogether

loved every minute of it. cried like a baby during the epilogue. great touching book.
