Though I was looking forward to reading this book, I honestly didn't expect it to contain much depth - maybe some relatable stories, encouragement to exhibit self-control, and the same New Testament verses about conduct that get repeated over and over. I was pleasantly surprised, however, when I found that Lysa really does "get it." She may be a Bible teacher, but she is extremely transparent when it comes to her ongoing struggle with her emotions. And rather than the pat answers I figured she would provide, she actually offers practical advice for re-training your responses, along with powerful Biblical support for why it is absolutely necessary to learn the oh-so-difficult art of self-control. She even included medical evidence that our inner thoughts and self-talk directly affect our physical reaction to stressful situations. Fascinating! I enjoyed this book - easy to read, highly relatable, and more challenging than I expected. I will be looking for more from this author!
