Drs. Bill and Kristi Gaultiere share about the power of Empathy--a proven path to healthier emotions and relationships

- Trade self-judgment for God's empathy and grace - Release worry, comfort emotional wounds, and overcome distress - Practice the Four A's of Empathy to care for yourself and others

You were made to live deeply loved--even in the midst of emotional pain, worry, or conflict. But too often when we're overwhelmed or hurting, we end up hiding our hurts and hopes, settling for shallow relationships. What's missing? Empathy.

Empathy is often misunderstood, even maligned. It's not coddling or rescuing. True empathy is understanding and care that respects God's truth and empowers personal responsibility. In Deeply Loved, Drs. Bill and Kristi Gaultiere blend engaging true stories with compelling insights from Scripture and psychology to help you
