A must read!

Serious rest for the weary searching soul. A must read if you believe in Jesus or you do not.

Healing

Franz Kafka ~ “A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.” The only book that has been like an axe to me is Boundaries - I needed the axe to break the frozen sea. It’s probably the book that’s had the single biggest impact on me ever. Henry’s new book and his latest work has melted the ice for me. For any Christian who’s experienced hurt from the church and outside church from people who don’t understand suffering, what Henry has gone through will give you encouragement to keep going with boundaries. It’s not going to be easy, but Henry’s story will give you strength to carry on. For me this book will be one of those I listen to regularly. I’m already carrying out some small steps and noticing a difference. The last time I told someone about Jesus I was 13 and it did not go down well for me. So for now I’ll pass this book on to people as a testimony because my journey is still ongoing - I’m using this as a 2nd rebirth. But this book is not just for telling people about Jesus, it’s for people who’ve been hurt by things done in His name that never came from Him in the first place. This will heal you and encourage you and confirm your hurts are real when no one else did! It will also help others to be more empathetic to suffering of others and false Christian teachings. Thanks Henry!

how the Bible offers healing to psychological conditions

I liked his courage to share his beliefs with others . I liked the calm approach. I liked the idea of God as outside energy and intelligence.

Transparent and Piercing Testimony

I highly recommend this book. I have read Dr. Cloud's books and listened to his radio program but knew little of his personal testimony.

Relationship, connection with Jesus.

This is a phenomenal book. It has answered many of my unanswered questions that I have had for years.

Truth

I loved listening to this very well done book. Encouraging, enlightening and full of peace and hope.
