Review
Brilliant! This is inspired writing. Given the sensitivity of the questions and issues people will bring to the book, it is completely respectful. People can identify with the case studies and see themselves in the stories. The exercises are profound. Anyone who seriously wants to intervene in patterns of thinking they have in their life will find this to be a remarkable way to come to high ground, find new understanding and different perspective. --Barry Heerman author of Noble Purpose
Cynthia James has written a compassionate and practical book that speaks to us all with wisdom, clarity, and encouragement about healing emotional wounds of the past and living our life s vision with confidence, creativity and triumph. --Michael Bernard Beckwith author of A Manifesto of Peace
"What Will Set You Free" is an amazing journey of the soul. While reading it, I felt as if Cynthia took me by the hand and gently, yet powerfully, led me down the corridors of my past. Using a variety of tools and activities - reading, art, music, movement, writing, meditation, prayer, and deep listening - my previous fears, defenses and blocks revealed themselves. I began seeing them in a new light of understanding and, surprisingly, gratitude. With the guidance and prayerful work offered in this book, I slipped into another realm: the realm of freedom. --Erica Teel
