Publisher's summary

Part of the best-selling Emotionally Healthy Spirituality audiobook collection, The Emotionally Healthy Woman provides women a way out of surface-level spirituality to genuine freedom in Christ.

Geri Scazzero knew there was something desperately wrong with her life. She felt like a single parent raising her four young daughters alone. She finally told her husband, "I quit" and left the thriving church he pastored, beginning a journey that transformed her and her marriage for the better.

This audiobook is for every woman who thinks, "I can’t keep pretending everything is fine!" Geri speaks like a friend as she uses personal stories and biblical principles to help you find your way out of superficial spirituality and move to a deep, meaningful, life-changing relationship with God.

And the journey begins by quitting. Geri quit being afraid of what others think. She quit lying. She quit denying her anger and sadness. She quit living someone else's life. When you quit those things that are damaging to your soul or the souls of others, you are freed up to choose other ways of being and relating that are rooted in love and lead to life.

When you quit for the right reasons, at the right time, and in the right way, you're on the path not only to emotional health, but also to the true purpose of your life.

Check out the full line of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality audiobooks dedicated to many different key areas of life. Workbooks, study guides, curriculum, and Spanish editions are also available.

Enneagram personality information and evaluation checklist available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Emotionally Healthy Woman

At first I was alittle turned off by the phraseology and use of the word "quitting". As I read I began to understand the choice of words. Very practical and helpful counsel.

Very relatable and practical

I very much identified with the book. It was life giving and affirming to hear the emotions that I was unable to put into words and feel the affirmation that it is okay to feel burnt out and frustrated.

I listened to this book on Audible and I appreciated that the author narrated it.

One fault though is that the spoken chapter numbers are completely in correct in the recording that I listened to. The author introduced the last chapter (11), but then one hears her state "Chapter 8". This happened several times throughout the book, just when announcing the start of the chapter.

Great truths

Quitting is not something usually associated with Christians- in fact I do not think of myself as a quitter at all; yet God used Geri to help me to see several things I need to quit- like lying! I’m a good Christian - in fact I’m a pastor! But I didn’t realize how often I say yes to people even though I want to say no. I simply say yes because I think I’m supposed to, because it is the nice thing to do. The result is I end up overcommitted, taxed and worn out trying to meet everyone else’s needs instead of doing only what God has called me to.

I have read all of the other “Emotionally Healthy” books by the Scazzero’s and each has beautiful gems of wisdom. There is some overlap, but surprising little. In fact any overlap is a helpful reminder, “oh, yeah, I forgot I need to do that, think that, change that, etc.” I have read other books on emotional health, deliverance, spiritual health and maturity. It is possible that some of them tilled up the soil, but the Emotionally Healthy Leader, and EHS were the ones that God used to bring breakthrough. I highly recommend them!

Great examples!

I loved how she used relatable examples for each principle. Her tone of voice is according with the topic.

Incredible

Loved this! Will be re-reading/listening to again and again!!! Very good info- food for thought to get you back on track!

Important Listen

This book was recommended by a friend, and I'm so grateful I took the time to listen. There are some hard but necessary lessons to be learned from this. The author laid her soul bare so we could learn from her mistakes. I recommend it.

Helpful questions and structure!

This book was really helpful and provided me with many useful questions to contemplate and consider. I would suggest sitting with each chapter and recording some of the questions that Geri presents. This is definitely content that needs to be thought through and considered. It provided me with a helpful structure to begin thinking about this topic of emotional health. It was also great to have the author read her story, it helped everything to seem more organic and authentic. Thank you, Geri!

A challenge to live differently

Organized well and very practical. I now need to buy the book and take some time to digest and practice it. I will listen to this again.
