I am now writing book reviews for BookSneeze.
Review of "Healing is a Choice" by Steve Arterburn
Steve Arterburn is well known across the country. He hosts a national radio/TV show called "New Life Live", is a bestselling author, and is perhaps best known as the founder of the "Women of Faith" conferences.
This book is a compelling read, which includes a workbook. Steve shares from both a professional and experiential standpoint, ten decisions that will transform your life and ten lies that can prevent you from making them. I was provided a complimentary copy, by BookSneeze. I was captivated by his candidness of the pain in his own life. As I read, I found myself relating on many levels. I appreciated his blunt approach in talking to the reader about the need to begin to connect with others, to reach out, to share the pain, to seek help, and then to begin to risk again.
Backed up by statistics and his professional work as a counselor, Arterburn maintains his stance that one cannot live an isolated life, telling no one of their pain, and expect to be healed. He repeatedly states the need for living a transparent life, pain and all, in order to allow for others to participate in your healing process.
If you are seeking a comprehensive book that will take you down a path of healing, this is the book for you! Each chapter is designed with a workbook section, to aid you in your journey. You will be challenged in ways that are uncomfortable but necessary, if you have any residual pain in your life. If you are persistent and work through the book, you will be a changed person by the time you complete the book. How long that takes you will depend on how much you can work through and deal with in a given time frame. There are 10 very intensive chapters.
