The information presented here focuses on spiritual dynamics and practical application challenges and issues which become more apparent in light of the material in Feelings 101: Pain to Peace. Do not interpret the passion and certainty with which we write to mean that there may not be exceptions or other Scriptural teachings relevant to the questions we are trying to address. Be aware that some of the answers to the questions below appropriately assume you are actively working to practically apply the spiritual concepts and dynamics brought out by the exercises in Feelings 101 and that you are familiar with the concepts being discussed from that standpoint as well. Finally, as these answers supplement the material from Feelings 101, the Scriptural concepts, dynamics, and especially some of the terms we use to emphasize aspects of Scriptural concepts, are not re-explained by these answers.
The answers to the questions below were specifically mentioned as Supplemental Information in the text of the 2nd edition of Feelings 101: Pain to Peace (chapter, section, and page are in parenthesis). They are listed in the order they appear in the book. The links will open a PDF in a separate window.
