A different way to attain wholeness

A great resource for those who have tried and failed, chasing the elusive change they need and feeling hopeless in a cycle of failure. Be curious at what you run to when you are sad, triggered or upset. Face that reason why you are in a state of hyper alertness. What if the abundant life Jesus promised was possible?

Excellent for ministry professionals and therapists.

Wonderful truth-filled resource that will help you reconnect with God and/or learn to assist others in their spiritual journey home to the Father’s heart.

The defense mechanisms chapters were the most helpful and insightful overall.
