John H Brennan
We all live by emotion - whether we realize it or not.Joy and sorrow. Fear and hope. Anger, shame, gratitude, love. These emotions shape our decisions, our relationships, our faith, and ultimately the direction of our lives. Yet few of us were ever taught how to understand them, much less how to bring them to God.In Keep Your Eyes on the Scoreboard, John H. Brennan invites readers into a deeply human, Scripture-rich journey through the emotional landscape of the Bible. From the Garden of Eden to the Cross, from King David’s raw prayers to the quiet strength of Mary and Joseph, from the struggles of the Apostles to the wisdom of St. Paul, this book reveals how God anticipated every emotional battle we would face - and gave us the guidance we need to face them well.Using the image of life as a game with an eternal scoreboard, Brennan shows how every emotion can either draw us closer to God or pull us away - and how grace, prayer, Scripture, and the sacraments help us keep our eyes on what truly matters. This is not a book about perfection, but about direction; not about suppressing emotion, but about redeeming it.Written with warmth, honesty, and hope, Keep Your Eyes on the Scoreboard is a companion for anyone who longs to live with faith, finish life with peace, and step confidently toward the final buzzer - ready to come home.
