By: Peter Scazzero
The Emotionally Healthy Church is the first book by Peter Scazzero that led to his writing "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality". While E.H.S. deals specifically with the individual, this book addresses the same topic on a church wide basis. His premise is that a church congregation needs to be spiritually and emotionally healthy; in fact, "you cannot have the one without the other." Although much of the book is repeated in E.H.S. it is a good overview of how to be a healthy people creating healthy communities.
