NF In Enemies of the Heart, Andy Stanley explores the destructive forces—guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy—and how they infiltrate your life and damage your relationships. He says that, left unchallenged they have the power to destroy your home, your career, and your friendships. Andy offers practical, biblical direction to help you fight back, to take charge of those feelings that mysteriously control you, and to restore your broken relationships. Good insightful look at how Guilt, Greed, Anger, and Jealousy impact your heart, your spiritual life and your relationships. Well done and including a sufficient number of examples from his own life to make clear the message he is conveying. This is a good book for anyone, unless of course, you think that those 4 things have never peaked out from under the place you try to keep them hidden. On the whole I found the book provided new insight and direction in pursuing God. Tending toward the concise and even terse myself, I found about half the content to be a distraction from the meat of the presentation, by which I man most of the stories. I feel like they were a bit overdone (admittedly I am probably not exactly the bulk of his market). The similarities and contrasts he uses to present the four enemies I found excellent. On greed, he takes a strong position, that I don't believe is entirely Biblically justified. Not that his key point is wrong, but the stories that he uses seem to me to imply that all boundaries, preparation, causality are wrong as they all force us away from trust in God. The chapter on correcting greed takes this even further. Quite often I found that he seems to cherry pick those verses that will support his goals, while ignoring or belittling those that contradict. Even in his "trust God" posturing, he seems to be a hypocrite, for if one truly takes trust in God in the way he describes (and I am far from saying that he is wrong) one must also avoid all insurance (which by very definition cannot be trusting in God to supply ALL our needs), and also avoid loans and mortgages (owe no man anything but love and good works), stocks, retirement accounts etc. Why then does he have a financial planner? That is but a taste of what he conveniently avoids discussing. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
In this compelling and helpful book, previously published as It Came From Within!, pastor and author Andy Stanley wrestles with what he calls "four invaders of the heart"--guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy. One or another of these caustic emotions sabotages lives on a daily basis and destroys relationships. But Stanley assures readers that there is hope. In his trademark style--smart, engaging, and popular--he examines where these powerful forces come from and reveals effective strategies for overcoming them and moving toward healing and maturity.
