Elizabeth Laing Thompson has written an interesting, insightful, and easy-to-read book about a very complex subject. The amount of thought and prayer that she has put into this project is obvious.

Full of laugh-out-loud stories, practical help, Scripture-based prayers, and powerful reflection prompts, All the Feels is one of the best books on emotions I have ever read. An experienced big feeler and student of the Bible, Elizabeth Laing Thompson will help you identify the type of feeler you are, the blessing to be found in feelings, and how to keep feelings in their proper place in order to live an untangled and authentic life. So whether you roll out the welcome mat to each and every feeling or try to shove them all in a closet, All the Feels is a must read!

JENNIFER MARSHALL BLEAKLEY

Author of Joey and Pawverbs

Dissect any given hour of my day and youll discover a cornucopia of emotions abounding inside my heart, because all the things produce all the feels within me. As a result, I often struggle with how to handle my feelings, wondering why God wired me the way he has. But All the Feels has helped me untangle the blessedness of all my big emotions by looking at them through the perspective of my bigger God. I no longer believe godliness equates to an emptiness of emotion. I feel because the God who designed me for godliness experiences all the feels too. I highly recommend this book for tangled-up hearts everywhere, because Elizabeth Laing Thompson has given us the means to harness our happy and our heartache the way God intended. So enjoy your emotions. Keep feeling all the feels, because our God is doing the same.

As someone who has thoughts that overwhelm me and emotions that often overtake me, I found All the Feels so uplifting to read! Elizabeth just gets it, and because she knows the struggle firsthand, she is able to provide practical tools along with biblical application in order to help someone like me defeat the battle that often rages within. Her stories will have you saying, Me too. And her insight will have your heart and mind saying, Thank you.

In a world that often tells us our feelings are too much or not enough, Elizabeth offers a much-needed message infused with encouragement and anchored in Gods Word. Youll finish this book equipped to live an emotionally engaged life, secure in the knowledge that the Creator of the universe designed your emotions for a purpose, on purpose.

All the Feels is not just for the big feelers. Elizabeths perspectives are transformative in helping us appreciate a new layer of Gods personality through those who feel big. As a steady feeler, I have been woven together by my mom, my son, and my friends who all feel big. All the Feels is a practical guide for learning to feel forward and appreciate emotion in ourselves, in others, and in our Father.
