Life's Healing Choices Revised and Updated: Freedom From Your Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits

Description

With a foreword by Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, this revised and updated edition will help you find true happiness-if you choose to accept it. We've all been hurt by other people, we've hurt ourselves, and we've hurt others. And as a result, every single one of us ends up with some sort of hurt, hang-up, or habit. But the question we all face is, Where do we go from here? Ten years after the original edition of Life's Healing Choices, this newly revised edition contains updates to basic teaching principles-based on ten years' experience-as well as new and contemporary testimonies. Using the Beatitudes of Jesus as a foundation, Rick Warren and John Baker, pastors at Saddleback Church, developed the eight choices shared in this book. In addition to practical, encouraging biblical teaching, each chapter includes two real-life testimonies of men and women whose lives have been transformed by living out the eight choices in this book. Through making each of these choices, you too will find God's pathway to wholeness, growth, spiritual maturity, happiness, and healing. You'll find real answers, real hope, and a real future-one healing choice at a time.
