Healing and Freedom Through 'Truth Encounters' (Freedom Through Christ)

In the modern church there is a major focus on renewing the minds of believers, which is certainly very important. In 'Healing And Freedom Through Truth Encounters, ' Steve Pidd explains that the mind is only a part of the problem. The book explains what the 'heart' is from a Biblical perspective, and how its wholeness is central to freedom and healing. Neglecting ministering to the 'heart' is why many Christians never become free from their negative emotions, anxieties, unwanted, or out of Biblical order responses and reactions. It is also at the root of many physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and relational disorders. Indeed, the Church international would be very different if more work was done in this transformative area.

The publication is broken into five sections. It begins with unveiling from a scriptural perspective how healing the broken heart is a major ministry of the Holy Spirit, without which the body of Christ lacks wholeness. It exposes what the Bible has to say about what the 'heart' is, and how it is implicated in every area of your life.

Section 2 covers how to receive your freedom and healing, and also how to minister to others. Section 3 looks at the typical roots and beginnings of the issues that we deal with. Section 4 unpacks the relationship between the fallen spiritual World and the condition of our hearts. Finally, Section 5 deals with the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and how He is wanting to work firstly in us, and then through us.

Once read and digested, the 372 page publication is an excellent reference and resource.
