Publisher's summary

In this compelling and helpful book, previously published as It Came From Within!, pastor and author Andy Stanley wrestles with what he calls"four invaders of the heart": guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy. One or another of these caustic emotions sabotages lives on a daily basis and destroys relationships. But Stanley assures listeners that there is hope.

In his trademark style - smart, engaging, and popular - he examines where these powerful forces come from and reveals effective strategies for overcoming them and moving toward healing and maturity.

MUST READ

A friend recommended this book to me. I get recommendations all the time. I thought no big deal. But boy was I wrong! This book was BEYOND AMAZING. I think I listened to the whole thing in one day! It is a must listen and I bought the actual book as well. That’s just how good it is.

Truthful and heart-wrenching

I wish I would have read this years ago. So many of the things he talks about happening if you don’t get these emotions under control have already happened in my life. It’s disheartening to think of the damage that’s already been done.
Andy gives practical examples with just enough biblical reference without making it too preachy.

Life changing

This was the most life changing book I have ever read. I originally picked it up to deal with my anger issues, but I found my self relating to all four emotions discussed. I was in tears almost the entire time. This book really affected me. As I was reading it I could feel myself changing. After I read it I could feel myself applying the message to real life scenarios. I felt some peace at last. I just finished it a week ago but I am going to listen to it again. Since I read it I have been researching every book ever written by Andy Stanley. His words are so powerful and he puts things in ways I have never heard before. A must read.

Funny, very insightful, written in simple terms

One of the greatest books I’ve read. A book that is desperately needed in society that I will recommend to my friends. Thank you for your contribution!

Compelling, Heart Revelation, Life Changing

What did you love best about Enemies of the Heart?

The author, Andy Stanley, deals with a serious and sensitive subject matter and right through the audio, he manages to make the listener think, 'How does this apply to me and others in my life?' It has helped me to further understand the 'why' in how we behave and to look behind the behaviours to see the reason a person behaves in a certain way, instead of just the behaviours which are the out working of a much deeper issue. I love his sense of humour, I often smiled and sometimes laughed out loud, however there were times when the Lord touched my heart so deeply, I wanted to weep for the lack of understanding and compassion in the world.

Great easy read!

What made the experience of listening to Enemies of the Heart the most enjoyable?

I didn't have to read it.

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed how Andy Stanley addresses the "heart" not the mind.

What about Lloyd James’s performance did you like?

His voice was easy to listen too.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Everything that comes out of your mouth comes from the heart. You need to do house cleaning of your heart and continue the maintenance cleaning.

Any additional comments?

Loved the book. I have been recommending it to everyone. I have purchased copies for others as well. Andy Stanley never disappoints.

Big Eye Opener

I enjoyed listening to this book, because Mr. Stanley really helps you to dig in and evaluate your own heart condition. I am a very structured person and thought I had a good grip on things when it comes to my heart condition, however, in light of this book, I quickly realized, I need to prayerfully consider all my actions and what is lingering around in my heart. He has encouraged me to memorize Proverbs 4:23 which is a reminder to guard our hearts. I'm grateful I bought this book. I recommend this to EVERYONE!
