Time alone cannot heal the memories of experiences so painful that we long ago pushed them out of our conscious minds. Yet these memories continue to haunt us and cause emotional and spiritual problems that cannot successfully be dealt with in the usual form of counseling. These memories in our subconscious must be treated with a special kind of spiritual therapy known as memory healing. This form of Christian counseling coupled with prayer focuses the healing power of the Holy Spirit on the root of the problem--a source that the individual must face consciously again.

In Healing of Memories, David Seanmands shows how God's healing power can free you from the tyranny of painful memories which affect your behavior and Christian growth. Pastors and counselors will discover when and how to use this form of therapy.
