Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions

I think Lysa is a 5 out of 5 kind of lady She communicates well and you feel like your talking to a friend while reading her book I really appreciated her honesty and could relate on pretty much every point I think I may also be her emotional twin But I couldn t give her book than a 2 out of 5 because it just felt like it lacked something I m not a fan of how to books and she often said things like, I need a go to script or I need a response template And then precedes to share hers She never me [...]

This book spoke to me in the ways I needed, right when I needed it Talk about divine intervention And because I listened to the audio version, I literally got to hear Lysa s voice right in my head So many helpful tips, presented in not a holier than thou, but in a I m right there with you, sort of way I so admire Lysa TerKeurst s lack of pride that allows her to share her not so great moments with us, so we can feel like we re not alone If I had one criticism, it would be that the book makes it [...]

This is a good, not great, book about how to respond effectively when you get triggered into anger or frustration by those around you There is a helpful section at the end that helps you understand better how you process those triggers However, in looking at the chart, I have discovered that my responses are all over the map depending on who is giving me the trigger One particularly helpful point is that when someone irritates you or something doesn t go your way, you can choose to respond with [...]

Living a life holy unto the Lord is lifelong lesson, but I think the author forgets the central message of the gospel that is that while we were still sinners, Christ came and lived a sinless life for us, was sacrificed and raised from the dead, that God would then be able to impute Christ s righteousness on us Sanctification is not proved by how many times in a day we end up shaming ourselves but by the pure and simple fact that when we are aware of our guilt, we know that we can and do go to t [...]

Wow, I think she has a spycam in my house life Really appreciated the honest insights about dealing with issues and stress in various destructive ways and how to take those thoughts captive and work towards changing my reaction.

Some parts had too much story, or too much psychology tendencies for my tastes, but still I always find something of encouragement when reading anything Lysa writes whether from her books, blog posts, or facebook notes and Unglued was no exception My favorite chapter was on how to deal with those unglued moments of jealousy, which for me can rise up at the most unexpected times when I m unprepared for them and leave me, as she mentions, feeling empty Her tips for handling those jealous emotions [...]

The author agrees with me, every woman has those moments where she is frustrated with everything that is happening around her You want to change your attitude or reaction but you feel like it just doesn t get any better This book is about ways to accept that there will be no over night change and that we are all a work in progress.The author calls this progress imperfect progress because we are moving forward in changing ourselves but there is no automatic change We need to remember that we are [...]

I listened to this book as part of the 2016 VT Reading Challenge I needed to read a book targeted at the other gender and got this one free at some point Lysa gets one star for reading her own book, which I always enjoy She gets one star for her brutal honesty and for being a great story teller She has some really crazy stories to tell On the other hand, much of the book sounded like an extended Facebook status update with lots of silly slang that really got on my nerves after a while There is n [...]

I m wondering if I need to be unglued to have appreciated this book I read halfway through and had to just stop reading I m not trying to judge her, but I can t understand an adult who s emotions are that out of control for insignificant reasons Yes, I know there are a lot of adults who are the self proclaimed emotional mess the author claims to be, but professional counseling anyone If she gets her act together by the end of the book I don t know, but I pray for her family s and friends sake sh [...]

I cannot tell you how much this book, and the author s honesty, has changed my thoughts about who I am Thank you I can t stop crying as I read because I see, I m not crazy I m not the only woman in the world who acts this way Accusations thrown my way on a daily basis.

I laughed and cried my way through this book Lysa has a way of just getting to the nitty gritty and letting Jesus do the rest I really enjoyed her perspective and the book was exactly what I needed to read I wasn t even finished before I started recommending it to friends.

3.5 Stars I read this with a small group women from my church and we had some very in depth discussions about this book.

Have you ever lost control of your emotions over the tiniest thing Maybe it s losing that extra 5 minutes of quiet that you so desperately needed Or maybe a child breaks your sunglasses, and you completely explode on him or her Maybe a dish burns during a holiday family dinner, and you just can t control the streaming tears on your face Coming unglued is never a pretty sight, and we have all had experiences where a small thing sets off the waiting volcano of emotions in our hearts In her latest [...]

So, to be honest, I have heard this woman on the radio for years and her voice simply grates on me I really haven t ever processed much of what she has said on those spots because of that So shallow of me, I know However, this summer a good friend of mine worked as an intern for this ministry and she had so many wonderful things to say I found the kindle book through my library and thought I would give it a try The really funny thing is, I thought I didn t really need it I usually keep myself pr [...]

Just as a light that fails to come on when the switch is flipped may indicate a wiring problem, coming unglued may indicate a problem with our internal wiring Outward expressions are internal indications If our outward expressions are unglued, there s some brokenness internally Broken places we won t address unless we are forced to acknowledge their existence Even though I don t tend to come outwardly unglued, I found a lot of great insight into myself in this book by Lysa TerKeurst She openly t [...]
