Boca Raton, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/12/2014 -- Cresenda Jones has personally coached hundreds of individuals from all walks of life. She’s come to a bold conclusion – many Christians lack “emotional intelligence” and it severely impacts their ability to live a mature life in touch with their true spiritual side. Acutely aware that this isn’t what the Lord wants, Jones has recently published a life-changing new book to help any Christian reach this vital level of spiritual maturity.

‘Spiritual Maturity: God's Will for Emotional Health and Healing’ is part a study of scripture, part self-help and one hundred percent transformative. It’s not a quick read, but changing one’s spiritual life and relationship with faith is far from an overnight process.

Synopsis:

Spiritual Maturity: God’s Will for Emotional Health and Healing discusses how important it is for us to really know ourselves. Readers will be reminded of the fact that, as Christians, we are not alone. We have God and His fellowship of believers who have experienced similar “heart and soul” emotional pain, traumatic experiences and desires for personal growth. Believers are encouraged to dig a little deeper to increase their emotional intelligence. Repetitive cycles are discussed in light of the increasing frequency of addictions, self-sabotaging behavior and unhealthy relationships. Since fathers have such a gigantic influence on our lives, a chapter is dedicated to exploring the importance of this relationship and its impact. Readers will also be provided with information on the change process. An understanding of this process will help Christians to meet their personal growth goals. Lastly, testimonies of discussion group participants who have ventured to be “born again emotionally” are shared as inspiring examples.

Chapters include: What You Don’t Know Will Hurt You; My Emotional Health and Healing Journey; You Are Not Alone: The Power of Healing Discussion Groups; My Personal Heroes: Courage and Healing; Spiritual Foundation; Dig a Little Deeper; Numbing the Pain and Repeating the Cycle; Our Fathers; How to Change: More Than Just a Decision; Still a Work In Progress; Mental Health Disorders; When to See a Professional; and Additional Change Models.

“Worries, pleasures and (hopefully!) godly riches come to us all, but without maturity and emotional intelligence, we’re unable to handle them effectively,” explains Jones. “In fact, without emotional intelligence and personal growth, our lives will be like the seed that fell among thorns (Luke 8:14).”

Continuing, “But knowing what we need to consider in order to live as emotionally, spiritually and relationally-mature adults isn’t easy. Now, I’m fusing my decades of personal work with my coaching expertise to give people a guide that is action-oriented, plausible and compared against relevant scripture to put everything into perspective.”

Reviews for the book have been overwhelmingly positive. HOPE worldwide Board Member, C. Mack, comments, “Cresenda Jones is a spiritual powerhouse! Cresenda did not wait for someone to give her a title before she started sharing her experience and using her God-given gifts to help others. Inside this book you too can learn to start where you are, to grow in your faith, and, combined with modern techniques, to overcome all that life has thrown at you."

Marcia Lamb adds, “Cresenda's book addresses hurts and needs that many Christians share and sometimes hide. These can be healed by God when we are willing to face them with faith and hope as part of our spiritual regeneration. Freedom from these earthly chains is so worth it!"
