Intro: Awhile back I read The Healing Power of EmotionAn anthology of essays written by specialists in the fields of neuroscience and applied psychology- afterward, I read several books by the authors of those essays • one author was Sue Johnson, who pioneered Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)◦ in Hold Me Tight, she explains research behind EFT and provides lots of examples of how it works in therapy• it turned out that Johnson has a Christian friend, Ken Sanderfer, who is also a therapist◦ he suggested that she write a book specifically for Christians Sue Johnson, “This made perfect sense. As Kenny and I placed the science of EFT alongside the ancient wisdom of the Christian Scriptures, clear and consistent parallels between EFT and biblical teachings about divine love and God’s teachings about human love leapt out at us.”- I read that book too – Created for Connection• and that brings me to the point of why I have told you all of this ◦ I am "borrowing" the title of her book for my next fewKen Sanderfer, “I don’t believe the Bible was ever intended to be a marriage book, but it is a beautiful love story—a story about a God in pursuit of His bride.
