Synopsis

Do you feel stuck on your faith journey? Do you wonder why you cannot seem to get past certain behaviors that stunt your life? Are you in the habit of camouflaging the real you from your friends at church because you know what they will think—and you think it too! Do you wish the promises you have heard about God and you were real instead of slogans? Let me tell you here and now they are and there is hope for you. Everyone has unfinished business. No matter how long people live or how mature they become in their faith, there are still unresolved emotional, mental and spiritual issues inside. Some unfinished business is ancient and its origin is forgotten. Recent unfinished business may have come into the picture and added layers to stuff already there. Author Steve Smith guides people towards a pathway that allows them to identify the blows to their soul and the choices they made in response that have caused them to remain stuck on their faith journey to being transformed into the likeness of Jesus. By learning the relationship between the hurt of your heart and sin in me choices, you will begin to discover that you or others have been trying to fix what is wrong in you with the wrong tools. You will be shown how to pursue deeper intimacy with God in a relationship where you will experience Him freeing you progressively from what you cannot free yourself. Many Christian counseling books come at spiritual problems from either a sin viewpoint or a soul wound viewpoint. Dr. Steve Smith sees these two issues as interconnected and uses a biblical approach to thinking about and dealing with these issues.
