Sound and practical advice about healing damaged emotions and attitudes from an evangelical perspective. Seamands confronts false emotions through a strong dose of biblical truth and prayer. In this book he talks about healing shame, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and depression. Certainly not the be-all and end all of inner healing but I can see people really being helped by his approach. He doesn't get bogged down in locating the 'root memory' but helps people experience the fullness of show more the good news for themselves personally. show less
Não há mal que sempre dure... Não mesmo? Diz o dito popular que o tempo cura tudo, mas essa não tem sido a realidade de muitas pessoas que atravessam a vida em meio ao sofrimento de lembranças amargas. Corações cheios de mágoa, amargura, ressentimento e desgosto vitimam, sem dó nem piedade, e fazem da dor emocional uma das mais difíceis de curar. Esse é o desafio encarado com obstinação pelo Dr. David Seamands, que dedicou sua vida a ministrar um caminho terapêutico para ajudar show more tais pessoas a viver sem o peso do passado. O efeito transformador dessa proposta produziu enorme impacto na vida de muitas pessoas, fazendo que o livro alcançasse a incrível marca de mais de um milhão de exemplares vendidos apenas nos Estados Unidos. Definido por Seamands como a Cura das memórias, trata-se de um processo em que a oração impulsiona o espírito curador de Deus a agir. O resultado é que, uma vez libertos dos traumas emocionais, transformamo-nos em agentes de cura para outras pessoas. show less
As a person with a very long history of trauma and wrestling with it in and out of the psychiatrist's office for decades, I spotted this book on Ebay and felt it might be helpful.
It is a very good book and no doubt it can help many people, but it is more or less along the lines of many books about forgiveness of past evils, wrongs, injustices, abuse......in order to move foreward and have a happy quality present and future.
Letting go of something wrong is not easy for me, because once wrong, show more always wrong. Things don't become good, healthy or right with the passage of time, on the other hand it is worth the fight to release those who have harmed us, as the pain hurts us not them. show less
