About the Book
Book: The Feeler
Author: James W. Goll
Genre: RELIGION / Christian Living/Spiritual Growth
Release date:March 9, 2021
The Scriptures give us a full-color picture of a God who is moved by emotions such as yearning, love, and compassion.Our human emotions reflect the emotional qualities of our Creator, who made us in His own image. Feelings have a vital place in any believer’s life, not just in those who have a more sensitive nature due to their personalities.
The Feelerby James W. Goll delivers a remarkable biblical perspective on our emotions and how they help us to discern and act on God’s voice. We experience the love, joy, and presence of God with our feelings. Our emotions have an impact on our bodies, our level of holiness, our relationships, and our decisions.
The Bible tells us we need to have our “senses trained to discern good and evil”(Hebrews 5:14 NASB). What are we training? Both our natural senses andour spiritual senses. Our physical senses, with the addition of “knowing,” correspond to our spiritual senses in these ways:
- Eyes (sight): visions and dreams
- Ears (hearing): voices and sounds
- Heart (touch): emotions and feelings
- Tongue (taste): good and evil
- Nose (smell): good and bad
- Mind (knowing): divine thoughts and impressions
This book will show you how to listen for and recognize the often subtle ways God’s Spirit speaks to believers, as well as how to discern good and evil spirits. With consecrated gifts and senses, you can reach out to the body of Christ and to the world at large in both spiritual and practical ways, making you much better equipped to fulfill your role as an ambassador of the gospel.

"The Feeler " by James W. Goll shows us that God uses our emotions and that they are a reflection of Him. There is plenty of Biblical scriptures in this book, some are written out but there are others that are listed for the reader to look up on their own.
I will be reading this book again because I am definitely a feeler. I am glad that this book points out that my feelings aren't wrong but it is how I use them that can make the difference on whether they are God lead or not.
Those of us that are feelers need to learn to not walk by our emotions alone but must seek the leading of the Spirit. We truly need to be grounded in the Word Of God.
The author tells us to check for "heart problems" such as self- rejection or unforgiveness or fear of others' opinions of us. I have a lot of self-rejection but I am slowly releasing this into Jesus's loving arms. The author shows us that we are to have compassion for ourselves as well as others.
The prayers that are included are ones that we can pray and if we truly mean them, I believe they will impact our lives.
I really think we should all live by this statement that the author points out, " Knowing that we ourselves are made of the same stuff as the next person should make us much more patient with others and help us live more compassionate lives."
I have already stated that I will be reading this book again because I to often let my emotions rule my actions.
I also how to admit I am not sure what I think about visions and etc. I do recommend this book because of the excellent teachings on the gifts of The Holy Spirit and be lead by the Holy Spirit.
I was given a complementary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.
