Restoring Your Temple: Seven Steps to Inner Healing and Peace

The apostle Paul allegorically compared the physical body to a personal temple where God can dwell. Hezekiah described specific guidelines necessary to restore an individual temple damaged by disuse and disrepair. Those guidelines correlate well with the frequently described steps required to achieve inner healing, peace, and recovery. Restoring Your Temple will walk readers through the Christ-centered, step-wise journey of moving out of denial and powerlessness into a recovered lifestyle. The reader’s temple can be restored to its intended purpose of being a place where the Spirit of God can inhabit, encourage, guide, and direct in a manner leading to emotional, relational and spiritual wholeness when every area of life is turned over to his care and control. This journey is a process requiring trust, devotion, and a willingness to do the deep work necessary to avoid relapse and further damage. The results are worth every moment invested in working the seven steps to their completion. Join Hager to travel this road to restoration together.
