Mood Tides: Divine Purpose in the Rhythms of Life by Ronald HortonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Ron Horton's book is a similar style read to that of E.M. Bounds, The Power Through Prayer. He has some great insights into humanity's emotional structure. His premise that man's emotional eb and flow is ordained by God because it is a part of the Imago Dei was profound. It is true that we often characterize emotional highs as more godly than emotional lows--which, Horton says is a mischaracterization. Horton's scriptural handling is good and his philosophical approach is well balanced. It was with pleasure that I came across several illustrations from Shakespeare, William James, and Dante. At times, however, illustrative analogies tended to distract because the point had already been made. Those who have read E.M. Bounds will understand this irritant.
