Product Description

We could live free, but cleaning house is hard.

Emotional baggage is trendy. We might even joke about it. Yet, one of the early English definitions of luggage is anything of more weight than value. Let that sink in. When we collect, stack, and stockpile burdens, we add weight but not value to our lives.

What is clogging your heart? Worry, panic, or regret? False guilt, anger, or pride? Maybe deep places you don't talk about are buried under bitterness, worthlessness, or loneliness. You long for relief. This stuff has kept you stuck for too long. It's time to unburden your heart and clear out the emotional burdens hindering you from living free in Christ.

With humor, relatability, and biblical wisdom, Emotional Hoarding helps readers to stop holding on to grudges, anger, regrets, and unhealed wounds and instead find wholeness and healing in Christ. Join Laurie Davies as she reveals a path away from shame, heaviness, and isolation into wide open places where you can live unburdened and free.

Emotional hoarding not only affects you, but it touches all your relationships. With input from mental health professionals, this book is also a great resource for Christian counselors, life coaches, and ministry leaders.
