WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
“We love this book! Dr. Chris Thurman reveals the essentials of following Christ on a psychologically and emotionally healthy path—not with platitudes and cliches but in plain language. No psychobabble either. The Way of the Soul is timely, grounded, and immeasurably practical.”
“My friend Chris Thurman has written his most important book since The Lies We Believe. I believe The Way of the Soul is a wonderful combination of sound psychology and solid theology expressed in an engaging story. Chris does all this while answering the crucial but often overlooked question, ‘yes, but how?’ by guiding us in practical ways we can follow in Christ’s psychological footsteps. I highly recommend this book.”
“With mental health issues on the rise, it has never been more important to have reliable information related to psychological health. Who better to guide us than Jesus? Chris Thurman has invested his career in helping people prioritize and improve their emotional health. Rather than offering quick-fix solutions grounded in worldly wisdom, he has been faithful to point people to the Scriptures and the example of Christ. In The Way of the Soul, we benefit from his wisdom on the topic and years of proven experience. I highly recommend this book!”
“When Chris Thurman writes about being emotionally healthy, his words come from decades of experience in helping people with emotional struggles. Chris has incredible insight into emotional health along with a keen understanding of Scripture. These two forces at work provide tremendous help in discovering and developing an emotionally healthy life.
In his new book, Emotionally Healthy Christianity, Chris does a masterful job of blending psychological realities with biblical truth. The result is an inspirational journey to an emotionally healthy life.“
“The Way of the Soul is brilliant, insightful, and practically helpful as Chris Thurman breaks down twelve essentials of emotional health modeled by the only perfect example—Jesus! In forty years of ministry and reading many books integrating Christian spirituality and psychology, I’ve never read a study of the psychological health of Jesus. How did we miss it? Chris not only helps us see from Jesus’s life what emotional health truly looks like, but he also provides real-world case studies and practical ideas on how to grow psychologically to be more like Jesus. I hope every person who follows Jesus will read and apply this book.”
