What is EQ?

"Emotional Intelligence is the term we use to describe a complex set of human abilities related to emotional management".

What is Biblical EQ?

"This is the biblical perspective of four key skill areas. It doesn't neglect the findings of neuroscience but it adds in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit and the wisdom of Proverbs. It has as its model the emotional life of Jesus Christ with His personal presence, self-control, emotional expressiveness and discernment of situations. Secular theories have no "ideal person" to point to. They merely assemble ideas from their own theories and world view. In Jesus we have a model, a guide, a point to aim our teaching towards and that is invaluable".

We all understand how important the emotional well being of our diabetic children is. It is our responsibility as their parents to see to this. We cannot properly guide our children if our own emotions are not properly understood. The diagnosis of diabetes starts us all on an emotional journey that we are not truly prepared for.

This free ebook, Biblical EQ will act as a guide for identifying which of the many emotions we all share are appropriate. It will also help you to come to an understanding of your own emotions. By identifying and understanding our own emotions, and through the guidance of Jesus Christ, we will be better able to help and guide our diabetic children on their emotional journey.
