Publisher Description
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 readers 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.

"I don't typically read religious self help books, but my pastor had nothing but wonderful things to say about this book. I consider myself a good Christian who has the occasional bout with anger. This book has some common sense ideas for how to work it out. I say they are common sense, but they are so common sense that sometimes we dismiss them. It is good to have them handy, but they are also something that need to be worked at. You won't just read the book and be cured of your anger, jealousy, greed, and guilt, but there are healthy suggestions to get you on the right track."

Enemies of the Heart Listener Reviews

" Andy Stanley provides simple spiritual actions to counteract the emotions of Anger, Greed, Jealousy, and Guilt. My only quibble is Andy writes for a somewhat protected community (too cushy) and at times found myself thinking 'seriously Andy you need to get out more.' Regardless of my personal quibble, the book is easily accessible for anybody to pick up and readily learn how to confront these head on. Good, simple, down home, spiritual wisdom. "

" Our Sunday School class used this for a four-week study. It focuses on guilt, anger, greed and jealousy. Hard hitting and sometimes humorous. "

" Excellent book! Helped me to look and see what's behind some of the things that I do that I don't really want to do. Great practical advice and good suggestions for talking to your kids about some of these matters like anger, greed, unforgiveness and more. "

" Just as we go to the Doctor annually for a physical checkup, we should also take a look at our spiritual heart. This book will help you examine your heart and answer tough questions about yourself. "

" Very good book. A little bit repetative but overall an excellent read. I would probably give 4 1/2 stars but I rounded it up. Partly because the last few books I have read have been disappointing but not this one. "
