5.0 out of 5 stars Provides a roadmap to freedom from the bondage of shame., October 8, 1999

This review is from: Healing Grace: Finding a Freedom from the Performance Trap (Paperback)

With insight and wisdom, David Seamands identifies the root cause of the insecurity and ineffectiveness that plague many Christians. Tracing the problem to its source--the shame at the core of our being--Seamands reveals how people develop quasi-identities in a fruitless attempt to earn the unconditional love and acceptance they so desperately crave. He then provides practical steps to help us lay aside our masks, embrace our identity as God's beloved children and allow God's unconditional love and acceptance to transform us from the inside out.

David Seamands helped me to strenghten my conviction that the Christian life is about Grace, not about following the Law. This is an excellent book for people who are caught in the spiritual trap of feeling guilty for not being able to perform as well as they would like. The author clearly shows how accepting God's Grace is part of the spiritual healing we receive through Jesus Christ.

This book speaks great words of encouragement and wisdom for people at all places in their spiritual lives. It has words for those exploring Christianity, those having trouble living their new-found faith, as well as for those who are advanced in their faith and are looking to discover how to truly have peace and joy. I highly recommend this book.
