Book excerpt: While the power of prayer and spirituality for healing has been recognised, not only by the American Academy of Family Physicians, but by more than 100 of the USA's leading university medical schools including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Dartmouth and Ohio State, what impact is it having on lives, homes, communities or congregations today?Now Garrie Fraser Williams shows from Biblical and Christian literature, history and personal experience in many countries how true healing can be experienced and shared by all who have faith in the mighty power of the Holy Spirit of God.Packed with exciting true life stories and life changing information, this Revised and Updated Edition of The Healing Power of the Holy Spirit, is thoroughly researched and carefully connected to the Scriptures.Here is positive, practical help for all people seeking healing for themselves or a loved one, or to be involved in successful Healing Shepherd ministry for others.Explore the answers to such questions as:What connection is there between Divine healing and the use of medical science and natural health principles?Is healing always dependent on a sick person's faith?Can miraculous healing be only instantanious?Is there fake healing and if so how would it be recognized?Why has some healing prayer caused the sick more pain?This challenging and inspirational book also examines the vital question of whether Healing Shepherd ministry, which was modelled by Jesus Christ and was prominent in the establishment of Christianity, should still be the focus of Christian congregations, clergy and spiritually gifted Christian believers today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was seven years old, I accompanied my mother to many twelve-step recovery meetings and witnessed the miracle as it changed her life and mine. A few decades later the twelve-steps saved my life, my brother's life, his wife's life, my uncle's life, and countless friend's lives. After witnessing the power of the twelve-step process my family, friends, and I opened a twelve-step recovery program and retreat in The Poconos of Pennsylvania for adult men and women who suffer from addiction. Over the past two decades the thousands of miracles that I have witnessed, and lives saved are due to the twelve-step process. We found that this process was a spiritual program of action, based on spiritual principles. New Beginning Ministry in Beach Lake, PA. has been our labor of love, born out of addiction. You can find out more about New Beginning at www.newbeginningmin.org I felt it was my obligation to share what I have learned over the past 47 years about addiction recovery, spirituality, and the twelve-step process. I originally got clean and sober at a twelve-step retreat that was started by one of the Founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill W., it was at this retreat that I started to realize that I had a calling on my life to help other sick and suffering alcoholics and substance abusers. After two decades of teaching on addiction recovery, spirituality, and the twelve-step process, and developing my skills as a professional writer, it only made sense to combine the two and share this life-saving information with a larger audience. My mom passed on five years ago with over forty years of sobriety, and today I celebrate nineteen years! My dream is to share my knowledge with as many individuals as I can during my lifetime, building an army of spiritual twelve-step professionals who can help save lives. It doesn't matter if you are reading this book for yourself, a family member, or a dear friend; the information contained within the pages here can be life changing. I know that spirituality changed and saved my life! "It works if you work it, so work it, you're worth it!" Anonymous They say in the rooms of recovery, if you want what we have, and are willing to go to any length to get it, you will recover. All you have to do is want it, and do the footwork.

This version is Volume One and details the condition of spiritual sickness and how it causes a person's soul or spirit or core essence to become ill. Then it outlines how the Twelve Steps can help all people to find recovery and a much better way of life, and not just those who identify with a particular "ism". And finally, Volume One guides the reader personally through every detail of what is traditionally known as the first half of the Twelve Step journey; steps one through the sixth and seventh step prayer. Volume Two of this book, also available on Amazon, then takes the reader through the rest of the path by first explaining how to utilize steps six and seven in your future recovery, and then outlines everything a person needs to know to complete steps nine through twelve for optimal benefit. Whatever happened to you? I'm talking about the original you. That pure child and original self/soul you used to be before this world and its people got a hold of you and negatively changed you into who and what you've become today? Perhaps you have forgotten who this beautiful and innocent and wholly untouched person originally was, so go back to the family albums. Somewhere in there is a photograph of that five or four or three year old spirit which was once completely free of the conditioning and programming that was set on top of this perfect creation. What if there was a way to go back and reclaim this greatest treasure we all possessed at birth? What if there was a way to rid ourselves of the damage done and to fully heal and start over?

Book excerpt: Whatever happened to you? I'm talking about the original you. That pure child and original self/soul you used to be before this world and its people got a hold of you and negatively altered your being into who and what you've become today? Perhaps you have forgotten who this beautiful and innocent and wholly untouched person originally was, so go back to the family albums. Somewhere in there is a photograph of that five or four or three year old kid that was once happy, joyous and completely free of the training and conditioning received from man's world that was only set on top of the perfect creation you were initially made to be. If that more authentic self were standing before you now and observing the grown-up identity you've taken on and the curious ways in which you conduct your life today, what do you suppose he or she might think, feel or say? Would he or she approve of the decisions and choices made, and those you continue to make? Would they honestly like one bit of what they see? What if there was a way to go back and reclaim this greatest treasure we all once possessed at birth? What if there was a way to reboot and start over? And to live the rest of our time here based on honoring the truths of this innate identity instead of blindly following the false priorities placed in us by those who were unknowingly cursed with the same state of inner disease? Welcome to Twelve Step Spiritual Recovery! (twelvestepspiritualrecovery.com for more information) Here you will find an easy to understand manual detailing the entire Twelve Step recovery process for any person to follow and achieve optimum results. In this book you will learn about the plague of our times identified as "spiritual sickness" which was responsible for stealing away your original self/soul. And you will come to understand how this internal malady has nothing to do with religion or a person's beliefs, but is literally our soul being steadily infiltrated and corrupted since earliest childhood from the teachings and programming received at the hands of man's Systems and Institutions. This book will then take you step by step through the full recovery process by replicating the experience of having a sponsor in a Twelve Step fellowship group, and guiding you to achieve your own Spiritual Awakening to reclaim your original self/soul. In addition, this book is designed for those with established recovery experience who have already done their Twelve Steps but might be feeling a little "dry" or stalled-out in their soul's continuing growth journey. If you are no longer reaping the boatloads of Juice you used to receive from practicing the principles and tools and you long for the next higher level of your recovery- This book is for you. TSSR is also a budding movement of men and women who are coming together to hold meetings and support one another in learning and practicing the Twelve Step tools while carrying this message of hope and recovery to the rest of the world. For decades we who have been blessed by the immeasurable gifts that the Twelve Steps manifest have prayed for the day when their awesome bounty could be made available to all our fellows. If you're out there feeling more and more frustrated and confused and frightened about the burgeoning darkness we see overtaking our world today. And the intensifying knot in your gut is screaming how "something is terribly wrong", that our lives shouldn't be like this. Or you simply feel "off-path" with your true goals and the dreams of everything you wanted to accomplish during your brief walk here- This book will provide answers, a solution, and the way forward. Please come join us as we strive in these greatly troubled times to share Recovery with the rest of our spiritually sick fellows and world. Please come join us as we seek to first change within for ourselves, to then change our outer-world for all. We look forward to meeting you on the path. Namaste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Watts confronts one of Christianity’s deepest secrets and shares his own story of religious abuse, revealing the lifelong self-destructive behavior it produced—now in paperback.

Recovering from Religious Abuse will help these walking wounded discover how to come to terms with their past as they heal from the inside out.

Defining "religious abuse" as the use of spiritual authority to manipulate, harm, or use another person for personal gain, this practical step-by-step recovery manual takes readers on a journey that helps them fully realize the extent of the impact of their religious abuse, and progressively moves them toward healing and recovery.

Download or read book Dharma Punx written by Noah Levine and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fueled by the music of revolution, anger, fear, and despair, we dyed our hair or shaved our heads ... Eating acid like it was candy and chasing speed with cheap vodka, smoking truckloads of weed, all in a vain attempt to get numb and stay numb. This is the story of a young man and a generation of angry youths who rebelled against their parents and the unfulfilled promise of the sixties. As with many self-destructive kids, Noah Levine's search for meaning led him first to punk rock, drugs, drinking, and dissatisfaction. But the search didn't end there. Having clearly seen the uselessness of drugs and violence, Noah looked for positive ways to channel his rebellion against what he saw as the lies of society. Fueled by his anger at so much injustice and suffering, Levine now uses that energy and the practice of Buddhism to awaken his natural wisdom and compassion. While Levine comes to embrace the same spiritual tradition as his father, bestselling author Stephen Levine, he finds his most authentic expression in connecting the seemingly opposed worlds of punk and Buddhism. As Noah Levine delved deeper into Buddhism, he chose not to reject the punk scene, instead integrating the two worlds as a catalyst for transformation. Ultimately, this is an inspiring story about maturing, and how a hostile and lost generation is finally finding its footing. This provocative report takes us deep inside the punk scene and moves from anger, rebellion, and self-destruction, to health, service to others, and genuine spiritual growth.
Download or read book The Addiction Recovery Handbook written by Richard W. Clark and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Richard Clark presents in The Addiction Recovery Handbook: Understanding Addiction and Culture is long overdue. Since 1939, Bill Wilson’s important and influential books, Alcoholics Anonymous and AA’s Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, have helped millions of people struggling with addiction to recover. In more than 80 years since then, a lot has changed: the definition of addiction, its demographics, social attitudes to addiction, politics, religious influence, treatment modalities, and the epidemiology of the illness. These have taken tolls on our modern network of relationships and treatment that culture and community now depend upon. The Addiction Recovery Handbook examines the changing historical views of addiction, outlines how this culture developed its contemporary perceptions and values, and how society contributes to this growing problem. Richard Clark proposes AA’s traditional religious model of God’s help-and-forgiveness can no longer address the needs of a diverse and largely irreligious society where atheism is becoming mainstream. His updated analysis of the traditional ‘AA’ approach proposes that self-understanding and awareness—through knowledge and education, psychology, and compassion, be the significant components of any recovery framework. This will guide both caregivers and addicts to develop expertise regarding more successful treatment and recovery protocols. This would be in a supportive environment of self-knowledge and mutual respect, whether theist or atheist. All concerned will acquire the ability to live a spiritual life, which is clearly defined. The Addiction Recovery Handbook is an interesting and readable book and is intended for everyone: addicts, medical professionals, counsellors, therapists, clients, sponsors, social workers, family members, partners, friends, employers—every stakeholder in a healthy, non-judgmental society that cares about the wellbeing of all its members.
