Chapter 1
Moody
Over-emotional
Uncontrolled
The Problem
I have grouped these three issues together because they
have similar roots. Those who suffer from these problems
are overwhelmed and sometimes controlled by strong
emotions.
Typically, these problems do not get better when a person
tries hard to overcome them. In fact, they often become
worse.
This problem seems to be bigger than you.
Why is this so?
How come your faith doesn't seem adequate to give you the
victorious life Jesus promised?
Some Promises
After all, Jesus promised:
You probably know many more promises in the Bible.
What Is Wrong?
Somehow, the promises seem greater than the reality you are
experiencing.
Is this the way it should be?
How come your faith it isn't working?
These are reasonable questions.
In fact, they are the right questions.
There Is An Answer
All the above scriptures really are true.
You just need detailed instructions as to how to
appropriate them into your life, so you can be set free.
The core issue in these emotionally charged situations is,
perhaps paradoxically, a desire to not be over-emotional.
The good news is that there is a way to change this situation.
My book, "I Will Give You Rest" addresses the whole array of
human struggles that Jesus can heal. The chapter order is
for the majority of needs.
However, your issue needs specific attention, and so I would
recommend that you read the book in a different order.
Recommended Sequence
I would recommend that you start with Chapter 11, which will
show you what emotions are. This knowledge will give you a
lot of insight into your problem, and will help you to begin to
understand the solution.
Then go to Chapter 9, which will help you understand where
your emotions come from, and why you have so little control
over them.
Then go to Chapter 12, which will help you to understand that
you have a part of you that is firmly anchored in God. It is
therefore possible for you to become peaceful and at rest.
Finally, go back to Chapter 2 and read the rest of the chapters
in order. As you go through these chapters you will learn
how to have peace reign inside you.
Your Journey
I would recommend that you write down somewhere this
revised sequence of chapters so that you will not forget it -
remember,11, 9, 12, 2. Of course, you can always come
back here if you forget.
Be aware that when you read the chapters out of order, you
will bump into some terms with which you are not familiar,
because they were taught in earlier chapters which you have
not yet read.
However, this should not interfere with the main messages in
the chapters you are reading out of order.
You are free to spend as much time as you like on
this website, and you can jump in and out as your
schedule gives you time to read. When you come
back, you can just take up where you left off by
clicking on the appropriate chapter in the links on the
left of the web pages.

Some Promises
After all, Jesus promised:
….where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2
Corinthians 3:1, all NKJV).
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted . . .
To proclaim liberty to the captives . . .
To set at liberty those who are oppressed . . . (Luke 4:
18).
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:
30).
I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).
You probably know many more promises in the Bible.
