The Feeler by James W Goll Blog Tour and Giveaway

About the Book

Book:  The Feeler

Author: James W. Goll

Genre: RELIGION / Christian Living/Spiritual Growth

Release date: March 9, 2021

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:

1.  Eyes (sight): visions and dreams
2.  Ears (hearing): voices and sounds
3.  Heart (touch): emotions and feelings
4.  Tongue (taste): good and evil
5.  Nose (smell): good and bad
6.  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 Review 

I am not a feeler. I am a person who wants to think an issue through before I act so I have always had trouble understanding those with powerful emotions. This book helped me understand emotional people and see what role their emotions play in their Christian walk.

I appreciate that people born sensitive can bruise easily. Others might think they are too soft. I appreciate that emotional people must learn to not walk by their emotions alone but must seek the leading of the Spirit. Goll includes good teaching on living by the Spirit, developing wisdom, and doing ministry such as prayer. Feelers need to be firmly grounded in the Word.

Even though I am not a feeler, I learned a great deal from this book. Goll reminded me that our relationship with God is emotional. There should be some passion there. Goll has good general teaching for all Christians on the fruit of the Spirit and gifts of the Spirit, whether one is a feeler or not.

I recommend this book to Christians who would like to understand their emotional fellow believers and get an idea of what those emotions may indicate God is doing. You'll also get some good general teaching on Charismatic Christian living as well.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
