It is time I showcase the books I have written about high sensitivity since that is the purpose for this blog hop! I was caught in the middle of a thought and in a cunundrum. I had prepared my other blog, a new site that I am developing to be a safe place for children where the focus is the children's books that I have written, the Sassy Pants Series. This new site was originally to be the first place blog hoppers landed, but somehow we got this URL in the works instead of that one...if that is the worst that happens, life is a piece of cake!
Now that I finished the God thoughts that were on my mind I want to feature The Mystery of Spiritual Sensitivity today. If you have ever wondered what God was thinking when He made you the way you are, you will want to read this book!
In a society that values production and performance,
highly sensitive people struggle to make sense of the overwhelming data stream
that daily bombards them. The Mystery
was written to give voice and vocabulary to how highly sensitive people
experience life, to help them understand the dynamics that wounded them and
caused them to hate the way are, and to bring healing to those wounds. It also
touches on how this high sensitivity can facilitate and/or muck up marriage and
parenting relationships.
It explains why God made some 20-30% of the population
this way—to be His burden bearers who continue the ministry of reconciliation
that Jesus began. Highly sensitive people are wonderfully and uniquely designed
to be His “special forces” in a spiritual war. Highly sensitive people are not
crazy, just different from many—and that is a good thing!
I wrote it because I don't want you or someone you know to have to go one more day with an exhaustion or a sadness that seems bottomless. I don't want you know to have the inner pressure build so that you turn to cutting, alcohol or drugs to numb the pain. There is a reason you feel what you do. God gave you a gift that He intends to result in joy and fulfillment; the enemy means to turn it to your destruction. It is meant to be a blessing, but for far to many of us it feels like a curse. I know, I've been there. There is a way back to joy!

Carol Brown's book about the mystery of spiritual sensitivity is an innovative exploration of "intercession that begins in the heart of God." She does an excellent job of showing how God created us with everything necessary to accept the challenge of bearing one another's burdens. Carol's book is full of interesting sotries that helped me understand and relate to her premise of how important it is to synchronize with others. Carol's writing is expressive, motivational, and exciting. She brought to my attention how important it is to look at my weaknesses that could create more of a burden to the person to whom I want to help. This book will help many people in the church.

Hopped by to leave you some love.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds like a true champion in this arena. The world we live in today is such an insensitive world. To ignore the need to be sensitive and acknowledge the sensitive is something we cannot afford to do in the church today.
Lot of great books to read and knowledge to glean from.
God Bless,
Joe Young
