Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
The Emotional Intelligence of Jesus
Roy M. Oswald & Arland Jacobson · 2015
72/100
👍 Worth It
Two credentialed authors — one an EI/organizational consultant, one a pastor and academic — team up to walk through five EI principles as Jesus modeled them, with real application for ministry life. It's a niche pick, mostly built for pastors and church leaders, but it's faith-affirming, well-grounded, and does exactly what it sets out to do. Worth it if you're the audience it's written for.
