Combining up-to-date psychology with contemporary spirituality, the book provides practical skills for dealing with anger, fear, hate, loneliness, sadness, guilt, low self-esteem and more. With an easy, conversational style, the author uses concrete suggestions, clever cartoons and interactive exercises to illustrate his points. Together these present difficult material in a nonthreatening way. Chapters end with a summary and discussion questions.
While addressed to teens and young adults, the book also offers great insight for relatives, youth ministers, campus chaplains, counselors, religious educators, and treatment centers. In addition, adults in therapy or in recovery will appreciate for themselves the book's direct way of showing how to handle emotions.
