“As creatures made in the image of God, we are beings who think
and feel, who exercise both reason and emotion. God’s Word and the
doctrines we derive from it are able to address our entire
humanity, yet the modern church sometimes treats the heart as
though it is less important than the mind. In How to Deal with
How You Feel, Dr. Merritt brings the truth of God’s Word and
the wisdom of experience to that part of our humanity that
moves us—the emotions.”
