From the outside, it looked like Pastor Pete Scazzero was on top of the world. The church he planted in New York was filling up with people (many of them new Christians) and the atmosphere was electric.
However, on the inside, Pete was secretly dying. Then he hit the wall.
Don’t miss Pete Scazzero on Steve Brown Etc. as he talks about moving past manic religious activity to emotionally healthy spirituality.
Pete Scazzero is the senior pastor of New Life Fellowship Church in Queens, New York and author of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and The Emotionally Healthy Church. Visit EmotionallyHealthy.org for more info and helpful resources.

Pastor’s Scazzero’s books have been
highly recommended to me by another reader
and I will buy them for my own personal
use.
However, as the Librarian of our Church
Library I am afraid I must ask Pastor
Scazzero’s theological position i.e., may
I ask for the statement of faith of your
church.
It is the wish of our pastoral team that the
books in our library follow as closely as
possible the article of faith of the A.G.C.
Thank you, blessings, June Visser

Hi June. Here’s the statement of faith from Pastor Scazzero’s church…
New Life Fellowship Statement of Faith
November 4th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I am “in the middle of it” (an unhealthy termination process – and my physiological and psychological response has been very unhealthy).
My sister-in-law sent this website link to my wife, who passed it on to me.
“Honesty” was the theme of the audio Steve Brown etc., with Emotionally Healthy Spirituality — and I found myself being attracted to the “laid back” style — and then found myself thinking that the STYLE is not what matters — and can be used as effectively, as any other style, to draw in, and seduce people who are feeling vulnerable — the method matters little, it is the integrity of the process and communication content which matters to those whose vulnerability is excessive (even if only for the time being).
We need to be able to TRUST the lasting integrity of what is being offered for our healing, hope, and recovery to freedom as granted (graced) from God.
Thanks for now.
