5.0 out of 5 stars Entering into the scriptures and healing through truth., May 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rachel's Vineyard: A Psychological and Spiritual Journey of Post-Abortion Healing : A Model for Groups (Paperback)

I believe this book is best used when it is presented in the group weekend at Rachel's Vineyard Retreats. There is such power when a group of men and women in pain meet to find the truth of God, the forgiveness and healing that only He can offer. By entering through faith into the scripture enactments one makes a conscience walk of faith to go through the motions, suddenly the Word of God becomes powerful and pertinent to some for the first time. To see others and hear their hearts flow with saddness, regret, remorse and denial links the missing pieces for many. The Holy Spirt is present and working in these souls as they discover there is a road to healing and they have finally found it. There is a continuation to healing as well. Not every scripture is necessary or helpful for each group. There are many to choose from. I believe with a companion post-abortion Bible Study (on-going),such as, Forgiven and Set Free by Linda Cochrane this book is an integral part of healing.

It is also the basis for weekend retreats offered across the USA that can be found at...
