About the Author

Bishop David G. Evans is the pastor of Bethany Baptist Church in Lindenwold, New Jersey, and prelate of the Abundant Harvest Fellowship of Churches. An anointed and gifted teacher, preacher, and administrator, Bishop Evans is known for his down–to–earth, life–applicable, realistic approach to preaching and teaching God's holy Word.

A dean's list student and multisport athlete, Bishop Evans graduated from Lincoln University in 1973, where he majored in economics and education. He has served as a vice president for a commercial lending corporation and as the owner and operator of a commercial cleaning company.

Bishop Evans accepted Christ in September 1976 and was called into the fivefold ministry in 1979. He was licensed to preach and then ordained by the Bethany Baptist Association in 1989. This Spirit–led visionary loves the people of God and delights in shepherding his multicultural flock. Called to this profound responsibility in 1990, Bishop Evans' sensitivity and obedience to God's direction has caused Bethany Baptist Church to experience tremendous growth. Numerous people have been saved and multilevel, Bible–based ministries have been implemented to meet every possible need. Membership has grown from seventy–five to eighteen thousand.

Bishop Evans was called to the office of bishop in March 1996 as Presiding Officer of the Abundant Harvest Fellowship of Churches—a full–gospel fellowship with a fundamental mission to evangelize the lost, edify the believer, equip the saints for ministry, and grow the local church.

Recognizing the magnitude of needs throughout the southern New Jersey region, the vision has extended to the creation of a nonprofit community development corporation, Generations, Inc. Under Bishop Evans' leadership as chairman of the board of directors, Generations, Inc., addresses the life–span needs of southern New Jersey residents through economic development and a broad range of human services.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scarred No More, December 4, 2004

This review is from: Healed Without Scars (Paperback)

Bishop David G. Evans' book begins where most books end. Many authors have insights into how we can modify our behaviors or how we can manage our emotions, but Healed Without Scars explores the WHY behind our behaviors and emotions. Too often I have found myself treating symptoms only to find myself always having a new set of defeating circumstances to deal with in my life. Healed Without Scars goes beyond the surface aspects of life and helps the reader explore the depths of the human soul, all to bring about freedom.

Bishop Evans offers hope on every page, while taking the journey with the reader towards personal wholeness. There is no way to read this book and not have the tools needed to be healed and free. Bishop Evans balances his personal experiences with his brilliant handle on the Word of God and delivers the Truth on a level that Christian and Non-Christian alike can understand. He explores topics such as the child-father relationship, the importance of faith and praise during the hard times, and the power of forgiveness. Whether you have had issues with abuse, betrayal, addiction, or just everyday pain from life, this book will give you the answers to all of your questions, AND will position you for your healing.

I am eternally grateful for this book..and to know that I can truly be healed without scars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing Is Possible!, July 11, 2005

This review is from: Healed Without Scars (Paperback)

I heard about this book when I was listening on the Christian radio station; Bishop Evans shared his own testimony with regard to the book and it was his testimony that made an impact on me to purchase the book. We know from the Bible that healing is possible but sometimes we need to hear a witness share with us today how God's promises are for us even today! It is unfortunate that so many of us, who are Believers in Jesus Christ, have suffered with abuses of many forms in our lives. We have suffered so many hurts; disappointments; fears that interfere with our faith walk of freedom that comes in Jesus Christ. Yet, here is a book that reiternates the promises of God and God's ultimate motivation, which is love, that we can be healed from our scars. God is able to take that which was meant to destroy us and use it to rebuild us into vessels He can use for His glory as we become instruments of blessings to others because God was faithful to us. If you've been hurt...It's now time to be healed! Healed Without Scars is the promise of God that He is still (even today) the God who heals because His desire is that we be all that He desires us to be...Blessed to be blessing!

5.0 out of 5 stars A candid and straight forward approach to true healing and d, December 1, 2004

By 

Kelly Mobley "Kelly" (Sicklerville, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Healed Without Scars (Paperback)

Bishop Evans is a gifted writer who reaches out to you personally from the pages of this eye-opening book and takes you beyond your mask and brings you face to face with life issues that we typically cope with but seem never to be completely delivered from.

He has been able to articulate and give me resolve to emotions that I have found difficult to express. I've cried, I've reflected, and I've come away with a better understanding of myself, and those who have been in my life and their impact on me, and mine on them. I've learned to take my portion of responsibility for the aftermath of choices forced upon me and those I've willingly made.

Bishop Evans' own personal experience with his father, the chapter regarding pastor/parishioner relationships and the eloquent way that he relates the prodigal son's father to our Savior standing in the pathway of all our lives with outstretched arms waiting on our arrival helped me to drop some weights that I did not realize were still affecting me; and at the same time has given me expectations for a brighter future with a God who loving accepts me, is watching every step I make, and is waiting for me as I come closer and closer to my final destination in Glory!
