Great book

It is great reading books written by people who have had similar experiences and how they dealt with them

Amazing Self Discovery Workbook

I completed this workbook in 2004. It was PROFOUND and took me through an amazing self discovery. This book is beneficial to all women regardless of their level of their walk with Christ.

Excellent Book

While I have not finished this book, what I've read has been very good. This book is great for women who did not have a very happy upbringing, mostly due to emotional abuse or a general lack of understanding from perhaps an older parent. The author is a Christian and it shines through in her writing. I'm enjoying it as far as I've gotten through it.

This Book (Literally) Delivered Me

I have been searching for a way to come clean with myself for the last year. I found this book and the title said what I'd been praying for, "Lord, I Want to Be Whole". In Ms. OMartian's book I found the tools and the strenghth to begin the journey and to stay with it. (Its never-ending by the way)! It pulled me out of anxiety, depression and gave me hope and faith. God bless you Ms. OMartian. Your childhood experiences were not in vain.

Our God is good

This is the most life changing book I have ever read; with the exception of the bible. I found this book I believe in 2002 and continue to read it every week. More and more deliverance. I am teaching from it this summer. Gotta own it!!

Stormie Omartian does it again!

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.
