Stephen Arterburn (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 10, 2005

It is God's choice to heal, when to heal, and how healing will occur. Sadly we often make choices that prevent God's healing or interfere with His timing. Millions suffer from emotional, spiritual, and even physical wounds that God may choose to heal. Ten common lies prevent individuals from making those choices that bring about healing.

Jesus once asked a man who had been sick for 38 years if he wanted to be healed. This workbook asks the reader the same question and enhances understanding by providing 10 choices to make on the path toward healing. This study is based on the promise of Psalm 147:3, "He heals the broken-hearted, binding up their wounds.

Engage in the process of healing. Experience emotional, spiritual, and sometimes physical healing. Transform brokenness into new life mission. Identify the big lies that prevent experiencing emotional, spiritual, and even physical healing.

This review is from: Healing is a Choice Workbook: 10 Decisions That Will Transform Your Life and the 10 Lies That Can Prevent You From Making Them (Paperback)

Wow! Within the first half hour of reading this book, I was drawn into words of grace and mercy by the author. I felt like I was sitting along side Mr. Arterburn and he was compassionately encourageing me that my life can be different, and that I do have choices in my life. His writing is so personal and warm. (I cannot think of one person who would not benefit greatly from this book.)I found myself laughing a lot (!) and crying a lot. All that Mr. Arterburn has gone through has been turned into good for those of us who will but read his book. He points you in a direction that leads to wholeness, to a place where you find true rest and "well-being". Over and over again you read "healing is a choice. There are choices that each of us must make." It seems nearly impossible to put this book down and not feel empowered because you see you have been given the ability to make choices!! He says in the beginning section that he is "pulling for you, praying for you and asking you to join him on this journey of a lifetime". Throughout the book you sense this to be utterly true. This is not a "solo" journey and somehow, the more you read the greater the sense of that feeling. As you read this book, you absolutley sense he IS pulling for you, he DOES want joy and rest for you ! Thank you Mr. Arterburn for your humility, your incredible openess and wisdom that shine through this book.

As a professional Christian counselor I am always on the look out to recommend resources to my clients that will help them make progress in dealing with their issues. This is one such resource that I would recommend to any Christian wanting to truly heal. Stephen Arterburn lists different choices that the reader needs to make to heal. This workbook helps the reader to incorporate the principles into their individual life. It is a must buy resource if one is serious about making changes that will heal. Biblically based and practical.

This review is from: Healing is a Choice Workbook: 10 Decisions That Will Transform Your Life and the 10 Lies That Can Prevent You From Making Them (Paperback)

This workbook, by bestselling author Stephen Arterburn, asks the question: Do you want to be healed physically, emotionally, and spiritually? If you do, the answer is God and for the believer to seek the Lord and the wellness He provides.

Within this readable volume one discovers:

* 10 decisions that help lead to wellness

* 10 lies that inhibit wellness

* Encouragement to help one understand and receive wholeness form the Lord

* Practical answers in the workbook that is included

Many people rely on false coping mechanisms including:

* Alcohol or drugs

* Food

* Illicit sex

* Anger

Instead, the author calls the reader to seek God and His healing hand.

If you feel that you are immersed in trouble and pain, this volume aims to assist the reader in finding the way to healing in Christ.

The Workbook is now in the New Edition on Amazon in one volume with the paperback.

I was given a copy gratis from BookSneeze for providing a fair review.
