5.0 out of 5 stars Healing of past wounds and experiencing future victory., October 16, 1999

This review is from: Victory over the Darkness: Realizing the Power of Your Identity in Christ (Paperback)

In Victory over the Darkness, Neil Anderson provides a guide for healing of past wounds and for experiencing future victory. In Victory over the Darkness Dr. Anderson doesn't suggest change through behavior modification or external rules and regulation. Instead he gets to the issue of living according to our identity in Christ. His sections on healing past wounds and how to continue on the journey of spiritual maturity were very good. I appreciate that this book on emotional health was based on theology and not psychology. I believe it is a good, practical tool for the pastor and for the Christian mental health professional. While the book was strong in emphasizing our new identity in Christ, I felt it was weak in exposing the depravity of self. I've found that until a person abandons all hope in the self-life they will have difficulty rejecting it for their new life in Christ. This book would be a good book to read in tandem with Christ-Esteem by Don Matzat. I see them as being an effective balance for each other.

This review is from: Victory over the Darkness: Realizing the Power of Your Identity in Christ (Paperback)

Anderson writes very plainly and passionately who we as Christians are in Christ Jesus. In order to have "Victory Over the Darkness", we NEED to know who we are in Christ. I like the fact that Anderson doesn't proof-text Scripture, coming up with his own ideas of what the Bible says, but rather spends a significant portion of several chapters listing specific Scriptures that clearly identify our wonderful identity in Christ.

A very worthwhile book.

This review is from: Victory over the Darkness: Realizing the Power of Your Identity in Christ (Paperback)

I highly recommend this book to anyone who may be suffering from spiritual opression. The book outlines the easy steps to victory over the enemy of our souls. In Christ, you are more than a conqueror. I have given away copies of this book to my friends. I highly recommend this book and "The Bondage Breaker" also written by Neil Anderson. Break free today from the lies of the enemy by understanding who you are in Christ Jesus. You'll be amazed and blessed when you learn the THRUTH about God's goodness. May the lord bless you.
