About the Book

Book: The Feeler
Author: James W. Goll
Genre: Religion / Christian Living/Spiritual Growth
Release Date: March 9, 2021

Pages: 208

The Scriptures give us a full-color picture of a God who is moved by emotions such as yearning, love, and compassion. Our human emotions reflect the emotional qualities of our Creator, who made us in His own image. Feelings have a vital place in any believer’s life, not just in those who have a more sensitive nature due to their personalities.

The Feeler by James W. Goll delivers a remarkable biblical perspective on our emotions and how they help us to discern and act on God’s voice. We experience the love, joy, and presence of God with our feelings. Our emotions have an impact on our bodies, our level of holiness, our relationships, and our decisions.

The Bible tells us we need to have our “senses trained to discern good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14 NASB). What are we training? Both our natural senses and our spiritual senses. Our physical senses, with the addition of “knowing,” correspond to our spiritual senses in these ways:

Eyes (sight): visions and dreams
Ears (hearing): voices and sounds
Heart (touch): emotions and feelings
Tongue (taste): good and evil
Nose (smell): good and bad
Mind (knowing): divine thoughts and impressions

This book will show you how to listen for and recognize the often subtle ways God’s Spirit speaks to believers, as well as how to discern good and evil spirits. With consecrated gifts and senses, you can reach out to the body of Christ and to the world at large in both spiritual and practical ways, making you much better equipped to fulfill your role as an ambassador of the gospel.

My Thoughts

If you have been following me for a while you know that non-fiction books are not the type of books I gravitate towards. Not because I don't like learning mind you but because I am teaching most of the day to my kiddos at the end of the day I just want to curl up to a good book and escape reality so to speak. But I do enjoy learning so non-fiction books definitely have to grab my attention to keep me reading. This was one of those books. I am a feeler so this book definitely suited me. It gives you a better understanding of how God may use me for His kingdom. Society may see your emotions as something bad but God sees it as something beautiful and useful. After all He designed you this way for a reason and a purpose.

The author does a great job at conveying this in a simple yet engaging way. The book is filled with Bible verses and personal stories to make it even more relatable and personal. There is so much to be found in this book and I highly recommend it to the "feeler" and "non- feeler" in your life.

My Rating: 4 Stars/Great Book!
