You've Got It, I Want It

A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. 

Proverbs 14:30 NIV 

You've heard the expression- "What you don't know can't hurt you." That's not entirely true. Not knowing about jealousy, envy, and coveting-not considering their characteristics and consequences-can lead to spiritual heartburn. Any one of these emotions can rob you of valuable inner space and steal your peace, leaving you dissatisfied with yourself, your life, and your relationships . These feelings can even affect your relationship with God, but life doesn't have to be this way. You can gain and grow by learning from biblical characters who struggled with the power of wanting-characters such as Eve, Cain, Sarah, Joseph's brothers, Moses's siblings, David, Asaph, John the Baptist, and many others. Their stories are fascinating and insightful, helping you to: 

Become aware of these seldom talked-about emotions Recognize the power of wanting-the bad and the good Gain insight into why others act the way they do Understand yourself better Deal with your feelings Discover pathways to peace Learn how to guard your heart Questions at the end of each chapter stimulate thinking and encourage growth, making this book ideal for personal and group study.
