Best-Selling Author's Testimony Attests to God's Healing Love

Explains how God can and will redeem our emotional malformations

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 27, 2008 -- The soul of each person is deeply spiritual yet also emotional and full of feelings, both positive and negative. What few people realize, however, is that God can and will redeem our old emotional malformations--toxic shame healed into humility and self-acceptance, heavy guilt transformed into an ethic of accountability, controlling anger changed into courageous strength, aching tiredness refreshed and revitalized, sorrow and sadness turned into profound joy, and oppressive pain made into sensitive compassion for others--and make our emotional life more constructive. A. Philip Parham's Feeling Free: Emotional Redemption in Christ ($14/99, paperback, 978-1-60477-356-5) is an eyewitness testimony to such miracles of God's healing love.

Says Parham, "The topic is not usual fare for readers and few know that Christ is Lord of our emotional lives and can transform our feelings. Anger becomes courage, fear becomes wisdom, shame becomes humility, guilt becomes morality, and pain becomes sensitivity--all by Christ and in Christ."

Once called one of the "most loved men in the church," Parham, an Episcopal priest, has devoted 40 years to being an active counselor and spiritual director to thousands of believers. And, as the best-selling author of the first Christian devotional book based on the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous--Letting God--the knowledge and hope he has imparted through his teachings and writings over the years have enriched many lives.
