This outstanding book by Dr. Bruce Quinlan provides in-depth understanding and the tools to help people experience the healing all kinds of woundings of the mind, heart, and body parts. It is written to help the average person understand and experience the power of what Dr. Quinlan calls Christian healing counseling. ENDORSEMENTS "When Jesus began His ministry, He read from the book of Isaiah and promised that His gospel message would not only bring freedom but healing to the brokenhearted. Wherever the true gospel is preached, people who have been broken by abuse, trauma and rejection should find deep emotional healing. Bruce Quinlan helps us understand the process of that healing with this excellent book. It will be a great resource for anyone who desires to be used in healing ministry." --J. Lee Grady, Former Editor, Charisma Magazine, Director, The Mordecai Project "This book is a rewarding read. Dr. Quinlan is a practitioner who has worked an impressive amount of psychological theory into his Holy Spirit-guided approach to inner healing and related topics. For those just starting ministry, there is here much help. For those already active in ministry, there is helpful insight to enhance their approach. The quantity and quality of the case studies, including that of the author, are a valuable feature of the book. --Charles H. Kraft, PhD, is Professor Emeritus of Fuller Seminary, President of Deep Healing Ministries, and Vice President, Hearts Set Free Ministries "What is so effective is that Bruce weaves his own story throughout the meaningful explanations of how healing comes through prayer and Spirit-filled counseling. I highly recommend this book to those in the mental health field, to prayer ministers, and to those seeking personal healing." --Judith MacNutt, Director of Ministry and President, Christian Healing Ministries, Jacksonville, FL. "There is no question but that the Lord is on the move bringing deep emotional healing to people through the power of the Holy Spirit. Bruce Quinlan is an experienced and knowledgeable guide on that journey and has written a resource that provides both breadth and depth of understanding and practice. People who read and use this resource will be positioned for deep transformation, encountering the healing Christ in the places of deep wounding. Written by a wounded healer, this book is a must read for those who want to know if Jesus is still in the healing business. They will discover that He is and has never stopped!" --Dr. Terry Wardle, Professor of Practical Theology at Ashland Theological Seminary, Director, Institute of Formational Counseling, Director, Healing Care Ministries, and Director, Healing Care Ministries

Why we were created seems a recurring question whenever people try to understand the purpose of their lives. Author Dr. Martin O. Edu offers a Scripture-based perspective in his new book, Discover What You Have in Christ. He discusses our creation in God's image and likeness, and how we receive His blessings in Christ through His love and favor. Separated into themed chapters that declare what we have in Christ, Dr. Edu discusses such blessings as Spirit of obedience, fruit of the Spirit and the living hope that we have in Jesus. His core message is that we were created to love as God does, because God gave His Son so that we would know the truth and be saved in Him. By believing in Him, we take on Christ's identity to love when it's not fair, believe when it's hard and share in God's glory even when we've sinned.

People from all around the world are being drawn to a point in their lives which could cost them eternity. And at Benny''s Diner, small coincidences are finding June a waitress closer and closer to the conception of the end of the world. After her fiancé confides in her concerning the end of days, June must reconcile her ways to God in penance form. With a wit and a different perspective of the end times D. F. Lopez, finds a simple meeting in time, the rapture, to be one of wonder, fun, conviction, and warning for all.Discloser: Only simple terms of the end times are expressed here, in understanding that much confusion and distortion concerning this period of time is evident already. The rapture, a word not used in the Bible (but it''s event is), reminds us of the awesome God and resilience of His creation. Other than a few references to the two witnesses (and a strange twist) most accounts are in light of the God Breathed inspired scriptures.For more writings by this author:Hubpages.com Search David Frank LopezFor art done by this author:Fineartamerica.com David Frank LopezFor music done by this author: Cdbaby.comSearch His Chosen For more information on the author: http://thebestkeptsecretonline.weebly.com

Through my storms I have gained a greater faith and trust in God than I ever had before. I no longer have a fear of death as I once had. There were many times when I felt as if He had forgotten about me. But through my storms, I learned that to trust in God is to trust Him with every part of my life without knowing how, when or if I would be healed. I ask the question "What could God possibly be waiting on"? He was waiting on me to surrender to His will.  Psalm 37:7 (GW) tells us, "Surrender yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for Him."  Is God waiting on you?

Ashley Blanco's faith in Jesus Christ and her love for people fuels her activity in the church and the larger San Francisco community. When she is not working with families or mentoring children and youth, she enjoys hiking, Mitchell's Ice Cream, and laughing loudly with family and friends. Encounter Jesus Christ afresh through the short stories of Liberated through the Love of Christ. This collection of conversations, thoughts, and internal lives capture expressions of God in the lives of ordinary people. Humans who struggle with identity, rejection, racism, societal inequities, dysfunctional relationships, life questions, mental illness, addiction, loneliness, isolation, sexual identity confusion, and ego find themselves in the Presence of a holy, merciful, gracious and loving God. Liberated through the Love of Christ showcases the reality of what is possible when people with real challenges encounter a real God whose love and mercy for them is tangible.
