The Feeler by author James W. Goll is a Christian Theology Anthropology book. That might sound complicated and hard to understand, but relax because the book is definitely not. It offers a Biblical viewpoint of how our inner most emotions are a reflection of God and how He uses our feelings and emotions for His glory. Now, are you ready to hear more? I thought so.
I enjoy the way author Goll writes. He speaks plainly and engages readers easily. He includes many scriptural references to validate his thoughts and teachings. It is clear that his book is well researched, well written, and well organized.
Are you an emotional person? I absolutely am. I get teary during certain commercials. This book gave me a better understanding of my emotions and how God might use them for His purpose. Never before had I considered that notion. I might be emotional because God needs me to be that way to fulfill my purpose which is ultimately His purpose. This, my friends, made the entire book worth reading.
Filled with Bible verses and personal stories, this amazing book has stayed with me long after I finished it. Previously I believed my emotions were a handicap or weakness. I hated people telling me “you are just so emotional” like it was a bad thing. Now I feel validated.
There is a wealth of knowledge packed in this book backed by scripture. If you or someone you know is a “feeler” then I highly recommend this book to you. In today’s world of desensitizing ourselves and “putting on our big shoes” this was a realistic breath of fresh air. This would be a perfect book club selection. It gets a 5 out of 5 stars from this reader. A copy was provided but these are my honest words.
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 Feeler by 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 and our 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.
