“Your emotions are made in God’s image,�� states Marc Alan Schelske at the beginning of his book. For some Christians, this can be a difficult truth to wrestle with. It was for Schelske. In this book, Schelske takes the reader down his own road of discovery that emotions are a God-given source of guidance that can be used to deeper our understanding of self, others, and God.

I’ve so appreciated reading the author's nuggets of wisdom over the years that he’s shared on his blog, and so I began reading "The Wisdom of Your Heart" with confidence that I would find a better understanding of God within its pages. And I did. But, more than that, I resonated deeply with his story, his upbringing, and his struggle with emotions. As I read, I felt I was on the journey with Schelske, and we were discovering together a new-found understanding of God, of self, and of relationships. That, I think, is one of the marks of a great writer: when they can make you feel as if you are on the journey with them, even though in reality, they have found the path first through hard work and sometimes pain, and cleared the way for you to follow, to learn, and to discover.
