Why do we feel entitled to happiness? Why do we work so hard to avoid or ignore negative emotions like grief, disappointment, anger, and frustration? Many evangelicals in America reject the traditional construct of the Prosperity Gospel, the idea that God will bless you with health and wealth. But many Christians still believe that God will bless them emotionally and will give them a general sense happiness, meaning, and emotional fulfillment. In this book, the author breaks down many of the expectations most Christians have surrounding emotional prosperity. She examines marriage, work, vocational calling, church involvement, ministry, personal significance, response to suffering, and spiritual growth, and how we respond when God doesn't bring us the sense of emotional fulfilment we expected in all areas. She examines the root of our disappointments and exposes raw reality of suffering, highlighting what we can learn if we listen to our uncomfortable emotions. She offers a fresh perspective on what it means to live a blessed and abundant life in the Lord.
