Landscapes of the Soul

How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection

About this book

Does it feel like you experience life in a totally different way than others? Like you are living somewhere else, and you can't build connection or intimacy with God like others can?

There's a good chance that you, like so many of us, have tried it all: read your Bible more, gone to church more, prayed more, and delved deeper into self-awareness. But you still struggle with discontent, anxiety, avoidance and doubt. You still feel stuck.

No matter where you find yourself emotionally, relationally, or spiritually, Jesus meets you there and helps you move toward a place of peace and rest. As pastors, coaches, and educators, Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw are very familiar with this struggle, and they are prepared to help. In Landscapes of the Soul, they draw on the science and spirituality of attachment theory, biblical wisdom, and the language of spiritual formation to show us why Christians tend to get stuck spiritually—and how to get unstuck and move forward.

Whether you feel like you're living in a spiritual jungle, desert, or war zone, you will discover:
  • how you are designed to grow good roots through healthy relational attachment
  • how things go wrong through your often-distorted survival strategies
  • how God repairs your faith, hope, and love for Him, others, and ourselves
  • how Jesus quiets your anxious and avoidant faith
  • how to incorporate practices for building your security with God
You aren't meant to live in the anxiety of a jungle, the desolation of a desert, or the chaos of a war zone. God designed you to live in joy and peace in relationship with Him, as if you are in a pasture, under the protective care of the Good Shepherd.
