Summary: A Life Changing Book!
Review: A friend recommended this book to me and was also kind enough to give me a copy. I had read one of Stormie's other books and liked it very much. I had seen this book in Christian bookstores, but never thought of purchasing it. But as soon as I read the back cover, I couldn't wait to read it. I can honestly say that this book has changed my life. It has helped me to get a more accurate view of both myself and God. One of the things I like best about this book is Stormie's transparency and honesty about her own struggles and failures. She tells it like it is and doesn't sugarcoat it. This book has given me hope that I too, can reach a place of emotional wholeness and restoration. Another thing that I really like about this book is that Stormie tells her readers upfront that she isn't offering a quick fix. She is very upfront about the fact that emotional wholeness is a process and that will can be a very long and painful process. But she also reminds the reader that with God all things are possible.I have read this book once already (in a single sitting) and intend to read it again and again,especially when I am feeling discouraged. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with emotional/spiritual issues and longs for wholeness and restoration.

Summary: Stormie Omartian does it again!
Review: I am not sure what possessed Ms. Omartian to start writing about the Christian walk and prayer, but I am so glad she did. There is a simplicity that makes the lessons she has to show us easy to understand, but there is insight there that will make you think, "Whoa! I never thought about it like that!" It is impossible for me, no matter what sort of day or week I am going through, to read through this book along with my Bible, and not feel immediately stronger, more uplifted and joyful. I have bought this book for friends and they always are quick to let me know that it is a wonderful counselor to turn to. Stormie lays out all the troubles we have with our attitudes, out emotions and activities and shows us how to give them over to God and rid ourselves of the baggage we carry. Things that are in our homes, like old books on the occult; attitudes of unforgiveness or resentment that we do not even know are there; problems with our mouth that we pass off as "just the way I am", are all addressed and then shown as the God dishonoring things they are. If you feel like cleaning out your spiritual closet, this is the book for you.

Summary: Why only 7 steps?
Review: I am thoroughly enjoying reading this book. I find that much of it works well with the twelve-step program I am already in. I do look up all the scriptures in my own Bible and find that some are quoting only partial verses or taken out of context. This book is more than a quick read; the steps will need to be worked through a little at a time in order to be effective.

Summary: Pages full of God's Blessings
Review: I joined this prayer group or more of a meeting for women who have some kinds of problems that needed to be healed through Prayer or just to open their hearts to see the gifts God has for them. One of the reading resources that was required was this book. I read it religously and found myself relating to Stormie's stories and following the steps I need to be whole. We need to realize that we have to let go of the strongholds that are not of GOd and give ourselves to him completely. I have now passed this book onto someone who I feel can see the benefits through me and I wish all of GOD's blessings on the women who will read this book and the people's lives they touch.God Bless!

Summary: Disappointed!
Review: This book is practically identical to Stormie's book "Finding Peace for Your Heart." I've just finished that book and picked this one up, and all the chapters start out exactly the same way. A real disappointment. I'm sure it's an excellent book, because "Finding Peace for Your Heart" was!

Summary: Great book!
Review: When I came across this in the bookstore I was going through some tough times, dealing with old wounds that never really healed. I went through this book and -- Wow!! It takes a lot of thought, so I plan on going through it again, but she had some excellent points that really made a difference. One thing that she pointed out was that even though she lists "steps" you don't have to go in order, and you'll often revisit them in your life. I liked how she gave suggestions without some "magic formula" that promised instant healing... because life's not like that!
