Freedom Through Forgiveness
My friend told me, "Terry needs healing being married to you." "Thanks Lois", I laughed. She is a counseling at her church, that specializes in healing of people through forgiveness. So when she told me my husband and I needed forgiveness healing I just smiled. She has many soap boxes and jumps from one to the other. Her new healing ministry was just another tangent I figured. But I agreed to read the book that she teaches from.
"Aw God...I don't want to read this book. I have plenty to do without reading another book." The book started out dull. Slow reading. But I prayed, "God if there is healing I need, then show me what needs to be healed."
Well, that prayer is sort of like the prayer asking for patience. Then you get trials. As I am reading the book, and now journaling, I realize I have lots of pain inside of me. Things I thought were "taken care of", but are not. Those pains affect my life. So I am humbling looking, listening and working through the things that are coming up. It is painful, but necessary for emotional growth.
I believe God wants us emotionally healthy. He knows the pains we have had to deal with. I am humbled that God cares.
The book I am reading is a ministry that asks the reader to forgive the person or situation that caused this pain. To seek God and let him heal you. Freedom Through Forgiveness : Nathan Daniel ISBN #1-931178-18-6

Have you finished the book yet? Do you recommend it to others? What did you get out of it? How can that work for your readers?
I did not finish it yet, and I do recommend a book on healing. Perhaps this book is the start of something for people. For me, it is a start to journal and pray on what God would have me release to him. I will say that I have had a lot of things in my past come up that I forgotten about.
Another good thing about this book is it has started me to thinking about healing of past hurts. In addition I have decided to go into therapy for some past issues that I have never totally worked through.
For me the book was more of a starting point to meditate and think....
