Leaving the Land of Numb

Growing up in a family where everyone was Just Fine, Don Follis learned early on to keep his arms crossed and his emotions at bay. While his spiritual life groaned for development, the Land of Numb held him back. He didn't think about the connection between his emotional and spiritual lives. In this memoir, Don tells the story of how those two lives finally got integrated. He learned to feel his emotions, both painful and positive.
His journey took him through a teenage marriage and divorce, rejection by the church because of that divorce, a ministry career despite the rejection, the death of his son, and a new vision of the richness of theemotional life of Jesus.
