Your imagination is filled with pictures of reality. These pictures reveal your true “heart beliefs”—the beliefs that shape your feelings and reactions to other people, to circumstances, and to God. Becoming Who God Intended shows you how God’s Spirit can build new, biblical pictures in your heart and imagination.
Perhaps you’re:
* Struggling with anxiety, guilt, or habitual sins
* Frustrated because your experience doesn’t seem to match what the Bible talks about
* Wondering if your emotions and feelings fit into the Christian life at all
If so, you may be working from the wrong set of pictures.
GOD HAS A GREAT NEW PICTURE FOR YOU!
Getting the true pictures in your mind—grasping reality from God’s perspective—will help bring your thoughts and emotions under control. It will lead you to a life filled with the positive emotions of love, joy, and peace, and you will finally be able to live out the richness of true Christianity…the life God the Father has always intended for you.
Becoming Who God Intended answers the heart questions of those who are deeply frustrated with their Christian life:
* Is it “normal” that my emotional experience doesn’t match up with the Bible?
* Why do I feel “alive” only when I engage in habitual sins and compulsions?
Do I just have to live with anxiety, anger, shame, and depression?
Every person’s “heart life” is filled with pictures of reality—often false ones, says David Eckman. But as believers use the truth of their new identity in Christ to develop biblical pictures, they will be able to truly accept God’s acceptance of them, be freed from negative emotions and habitual sins...and finally experience a life that matches what Scripture promises.
About the Author
David Eckman, PhD, grew up in a dysfunctional family and came to the Lord as a teen. His emotions remained frozen through years of theological study and pastoring, until he finally gained a picture of how God truly loved him. When he became dean and professor at Western Seminary, he began to do extensive personal counseling; and in 1997 he cofounded BWGI Ministries, which seeks to bring about spiritual transformation through helping people understand who they are in Christ
