About This Book
Preface by the Author:
Early in my pastoral experience, I discovered that I was failing to help two
groups of people through the regular ministries of the church. Their problems
were not being solved by the preaching of the Word, commitment to Christ, the
filling of the Spirit, prayer, or the Sacraments.
I saw one group being driven into futility and loss of confidence in God's
power. While they desperately prayed, their prayers about personal problems
didn't seem to be answered. They tried every Christian discipline, but with no
result. As they played the same old cracked record of their defeats, the needle
would get stuck in repetitive emotional patterns. While they kept up the outward
observances of praying and paying and professing, they were going deeper and
deeper into disillusionment and despair.
I saw the other group moving toward phoniness. These people were repressing
their inner feelings and denying to themselves that anything was seriously
wrong, because "Christians can't have such problems." Instead of facing their
problems, they covered them with a veneer of Scripture verses, theological
terms, and unrealistic platitudes.
The denied problems went underground, only to later reappear in all manner of
illnesses, eccentricities, terribly unhappy marriages, and sometimes even in the
emotional destruction of their children.
During this time of discovery, God showed me that the ordinary ways of
ministering would never help some problems. And He began to enable me to open up
my own heart to personal self-discovery, and to new depths of healing love
through my marriage, my children, and intimate friends.
God then led me to enlarge my pastoral ministry to include special care and
prayer for damaged emotions and unhealed memories.
In the twenty years that I have been preaching, teaching, counseling, and
distributing tapes on this subject, I have heard from thousands of formerly
defeated Christians who have found release from emotional hangups and who have
experienced the healing of crippling memories of the past.
In this book, you will meet some of those people. You will read of attitudes and
feelings that are familiar to you or to someone dear to you.
Any resemblance to real persons is completely intentional. All of the people in
this book are very much alive; their stories are used with permission. Names and
locations have been changed to protect their confidence.
Any resemblance to your life may seem coincidental, but it is also intentional.
For most of us have the same needs and longings.
I pray that these chapters will be helpful in picturing God's ways of repairing
damaged emotions, of recycling hangups into wholeness, and of transforming
crippled Christians into healed helpers.
