Each one of us possesses a unique inner world comprised of thoughts, emotions, motives and then some, whether we like it or wrestle with it. It is this inner world that author Jo Johnson helps us make sense of in her book “Disentangled.”
With tangible compassion, Johnson marries biblical truth and psychology in a balanced and accessible way. The wisdom and practical tools enable readers to engage effectively with their inner lives, which is obvious throughout the book.
Each chapter builds on the one before, helping us through God’s truth, applicable tools, and reflections. I also appreciated the moving, God-honoring song included at the end of each chapter (along with a playlist link).
As I read the reflections after each chapter, I was moved to turn toward God in prayer in a greater way. These reflections are beautifully transformational sections to take time with devotionally.
Readers of this book are sure to find tangible hope in the midst of the challenge—and at times, the messiness—of what’s happening in our souls and minds as we seek to live loving, godly lives.
Highlights:
“…what goes on inside of us—our beliefs, our thoughts, our memories, our feelings and our desires—impacts everything we do and how well we do it. Our inner lives determine how we show up in a given moment and whether we'll behave as we'd like or not.”
“Often, though not always, we are choosing either to walk with the Spirit and remember God's values or to be driven by our sinful hearts into doing wrong.”
“We change our minds by setting our minds on things above. We need to be obsessed with the right things—to intentionally fill our minds with the glorious gospel of grace, not just once but every day.”
Thank you to the publisher for gifting me a copy of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily and was not required to leave a positive review. All opinions are my own.
