CBA BESTSELLER • Break free from the destructive power of guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy. Includes a six-week discussion guide. “Andy Stanley touches the right nerve at the right time.”—Shaunti Feldhahn, bestselling author of For Women Only and For Men Only Divorce. Job loss. Estrangement from family members. Broken friendships. The difficult circumstances you are dealing with today are likely being fed by one of four emotional forces that compels you to act in undesirable ways, sometimes even against your will. Andy Stanley explores each of these destructive forces—guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy—and how they infiltrate your life and damage your relationships. He says that, left unchallenged they have the power to destroy your home, your career, and your friendships. In Enemies of the Heart, Andy offers practical, biblical direction to help you fight back, to take charge of those feelings that mysteriously control you, and to restore your broken relationships. Previously released as It Came from Within

Short review: This was good but not great. I listened to it on audiobook and it is not Andy. I like listening to Andy Stanley (he is my pastor). But the narrator was a bit flat and made the book feel like a self help book. This was a reworking of the “It Came From Within” book. I had not read that previously, but if you have, there will likely be little new material. The four ‘enemies of the heart' are: guilt, anger, greed and jealousy. I thought the content was fairly good, but a bit repetitive (because I have heard similar things at church). If you are not a member at Northpoint and are reading it, I would say pick it up.
