AlbakiReads Editorial

A faith-centered framework for understanding emotion

Chip Dodd organizes the book around eight feelings—hurt, loneliness, sadness, anger, fear, shame, guilt, and gladness—and presents them as ways to listen to the heart. That framework connects emotional self-understanding with telling the truth about one’s story, relating to others, and living in relationship with God. The book’s central idea is that attending to these feelings can help people better understand themselves and how they live. Its approach is explicitly Christian, linking emotional reflection with spiritual life rather than treating the subject as purely psychological.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in reflection on emotions and self-understanding
  • Readers exploring emotional life through a Christian perspective
  • Those interested in how personal honesty relates to relationships with others

Book overview

In 2001, The Voice of the Heart began a steady journey into the lives of those looking for more. Since its initial release, The Voice of the Heart has been handed one friend to another and has helped thousands of people begin to speak the truth of their story and to live more fully from the heart. Chip Dodd invites us to begin to know our hearts so that we better know ourselves and can live fully in relationship with others and, ultimately, with God. The journey begins with discovering the gift of The Eight Feelings(TM). We have eight feelings that allow us to live fully in a tragic place-hurt, lonely, sad, anger, fear, shame, guilt, and glad. By listening to these eight God-given tools, we can be who we are made to be, so we can do what we are made to do. "Chip Dodd passionately and wisely invites us to the spiritual discipline of listening to our hearts and to the call of God that echoes in every emotion." -Dan Allender, Professor of Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School, Author of The Wounded Heart, To Be Told, and Leading With a Limp. "The Bible tells us that the heart 'is the wellspring of life.' In this thoughtful book, Chip Dodd [reveals] how our spiritual heart functions and how we can discover more of the life Christ offers. I'm confident that many will find his insights helpful and even life-changing." -Franklin Graham, President, Samaritan's Purse and Christian Evangelist.
