Starting Monday, October 14
and continuing each week through
Friday, November 15
join me and other women as we journey together seeking to overcome the downward spiral of emotions that fight to control us on a daily basis. Help is here my friends!
Brooke shows us in her new ebook important Biblical truths we can use to overcome our emotions as she teaches us we don't have to submit to emotions that are damaging or let them control us. Instead we have a choice to submit those damaging emotions to the authority of the Word of God. The heart of Brooke's teaching is found in "Feel, Know, Do" which we'll cover in chapter 1. Next, in chapter 2 we'll learn "How to Overcome Lies with the Truth". Then in chapter 3 "Where Do We Get the Power to Overcome", we'll discover the Source of our power to overcome. In chapter 4 "Sometimes We Just Have to Walk Away", Brooke will take us through steps to remember as we try to process our responses to life's difficult circumstances. Finally in chapter 5 "What Happens When We Blow It?", because yes, we will still blow it at times...but in this final chapter we will see that we do not have to lose heart, that there is forgiveness when we do mess up, and that God is faithful to continue to give us victories as we seek to surrender our emotions to Him.

Love to have this book! The study sounds like something I need. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited about this study Missy because I definitely need it too! :)
DeleteWould love to have this book. I sometimes wear my emotions on my sleeve!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to start this book study!!! Very excited to start reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm joining the book study! I always thought I had my emotions under control... until the birth of my first son. Can't wait to read Brooke's book, I am looking for help, I don't want to be a mom who loses her cool and lashes out.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be that kind of mom either, Amy. I'm so thankful God laid this subject on Brooke's heart and she followed His leading. I look forward to doing this study with you all! :)
DeleteI'm the first to admit I STILL need help in this area! I would love to join this study with other honest, like-minded mothers. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of this book.
ReplyDeleteI need help too Amanda! Just last night, I failed with my son and let my frustrations bring out the worst in me. I could see the hurt in his eyes and it broke my heart. This study could not have come at a better time for me. I'm so thankful to have other moms to join the study who are also seeking help in this area. :)
DeleteYes, yes I am! I admit too I need some help.
ReplyDeleteThanks for setting up this study!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I think I've got it all under control, WHOOSH, another wave comes and sucks me under. Thanks for hosting this, and for offering a chance to win the book for free.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling all too well Adena! Can't wait to begin our study! :)
DeleteI continually struggle with this!
ReplyDeleteMy emotions have been a hot mess lately! I'm either up or down all time. I sooo need this study!
ReplyDeleteI have been really struggling with this. If I do not receive a free copy, is there anyway to purchase this without paypal? I do not have an account on there.
ReplyDeleteAmy, I asked Brooke and will let you know what she says. :)
DeleteAmy, you can mail Brooke a check. Just email her at Brooke@brookemcglothlin.com for her mailing address. Hope this helps. :)
DeleteSounds like a study that I need to be part of!
ReplyDeleteThis study is an answer to prayer! I have 3 boys, two of them toddlers, and I know they are the ones who suffer most from my emotions. I've been struggling to keep myself in check lately, and I have been praying for God to help me in this. The study starts on my birthday, too! It's like God saying, "I love you and want you to succeed. Happy Birthday!"
ReplyDeleteOh, don't you love it when God whispers to your heart like that! This study is an answer to prayer for me as well. I look forward to learning and growing with you all! :)
DeleteWow, found this through instagram. I feel like God is constantly finding daily ways to get me to turn to him. And this is my biggest thing.... controlling my emotions! I'm very much looking forward to this study!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to find this study Meg! Can't wait to take this journey with you! :)
DeleteSo excited for this book. I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old and really need to learn how to control my emotions so I can teach them to do the same. I have a full time job in law enforcement forensics and feel like sometimes I have to hold it so together at work that when I come home tired and drained I don't do a good enough job as a mom to control my emotions at home! Praying for God to guide me!
ReplyDeleteWorking on control of my emotions is something I've been working on for a long time. I have a severe sleep disorder, so keeping my cool is something I've found very hard to do on little sleep. I know I can always improve though! Looking forward to learning more on how to do it!
ReplyDeleteSo excited! This comes at just the right time, I am a big pregnant, ball of emotions right now, and it's affecting my family! Even a little step in the right direction would greatly benefit all of us!
ReplyDeleteI have been praying about this issue! I feel that God has brought his in my life! I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteAmanda
Wow. This is exactly what I need! I struggle everyday with emotions and all too often I allow them to get the best of me. My 15 month old daughter deserves better. I would love to do this study but at this time it just isn't possible financially. Hopefully it will go so well that I will have the opportunity to do it the 2nd time around :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really good book/study!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely wanting to do this study!
ReplyDeletehoping to win...i need so much grace
ReplyDeleteI cannot WAIT to do this bible study with fellow sisters in Christ who are struggling with this same battle in our own unique situations!! Thank you for facilitating this.
ReplyDeleteI need this!
ReplyDeletecan't wait. I am so tired of my emotions running me and not having the know how to stop. so I am hoping this book will give me the tools to help.
ReplyDeleteI purchased the book and am anxiously awaiting the study to go along with it. I've been struggling with allowing my emotions to get the better of me for more years than I want to think about and am SO ready to stop the cycle! Thank you so much for bringing this to moms like me!
ReplyDeleteI am so in need of help getting a handle on my emotions.
ReplyDeleteI've been following along on her Facebook group and I cannot wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a great pairing to another book I am reading right now!! Seems like God is speaking directly to me!
ReplyDeleteLadies, I'm so excited to see all of you are joining the book study! I just want to give you a reminder to subscribe with your email address so you'll get the weekly emails on the study. There's a place to subscribe on the top right-hand side of my blog and I also put a subscribe link in my post. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to begin our journey together!
I desperately need all the help I can get to reign in my emotions. I know in the end it's God changing my heart, and we're working on that, but it's nice to go on the journey with other moms in the same boat.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% Melissa! :)
DeleteI would love to join this study but I do not have the money to purchase the e-book. I have three boys, ages 3,4, and 7. My husband and I have been separated for 5 1/2 months. He took all the money and barely supports us. In fact, I had to agree to move out of our home in order to get some financial support from him. He is mentally/emotionally abusive and was physically at one time. We now live with my mother whose actions toward me have been called abusive by multiple counselors I have spoken with. It seems we have jumped from the frying pan in to the fire. In order to deal with my overwhelming emotions, I have begun cutting myself...to my confusion and embarrassment. I am so overwhelmed with my emotions that I can hardly be around my boys with out losing control. I hope I can follow along with your posts and still learn something.
ReplyDeleteDear couponmomof3boys,
DeleteI am praying for you to find comfort in our Heavenly Father, that He will give you His peace that surpasses all understanding, and that His mighty hand will protect you. You mentioned you have spoken with multiple counselors and I would encourage you to find a Christian counselor to speak with concerning the cutting. Or if you belong to a church...speak with one of your pastors since your finances might not allow you to pay for a Christian counselor. Please follow along with the posts from everyone...God can and will speak to your heart. I also want to encourage you to read the Word of God and pray during this difficult time in your life. Know that others here are praying on your behalf as well.
Your sister in Christ,
Laurie
