Salvation and Wholeness: Emotional Healing and Deliverance
The book “In Pursuit of Wholeness” is written with the intent of providing an abundant life to the reader with a fresh introduction to Jesus and to help experience his power through an understanding of the fullness this salvation provides.
Dr. Wilfred Graves communicates, compassion, inspiration and encouragement through real life illustrations that demonstrate how Christ’s healing touch can restore shattered relationships as well as minister wholeness in every aspect of our lives. He also makes clear that the message includes healing for broken-ness, holistic deliverance, and hope for the distraught, distressed, and those filled with fear.
The pages are filled with life changing teaching and practical powerful profound principles, taken from God’s Word, written in easy to understand language with personal applications that lead to the use of suggested coping tools to formulate strategies for pursuing wholeness.
I particularly found the topical headings added an ease in assimilating the narrative. The statements of affirmation are positive and meaningful., The chapter summary captures the essence of the material. The reflective prayer personalize the message of the author. Profound questions for discussion, make this an excellent resource for study groups or for individual applications. The suggested activities offer beneficial action steps. I found the concluding case study a practical help for ministering to and counseling wholeness to broken individuals.
The format is uniquely reader friendly with topical headers, and other highlighted features. I found the end-notes to be rich in clarification of material covered, in resource material for future reading and study and as evidence of thorough research and study for this important manuscript. The material in Appendix A: Questions and Answers About Salvation and Wholeness is an excellent source for those often asked questions that come up in conversations when presenting the message of salvation to unbelievers, both genuine seekers and skeptics.
Appendix B: Trusting God in Difficult Times may be of personal help to the reader for finding answers to a personal need or for helping a friend find help in their time of crisis.
“In Pursuit of Wholeness” is significant, scholarly, and compelling. Practical pastoral theology, comprehensive illustrations, and workable solutions for the spiritual life journey make this an important book for every Christian reader. The clear gospel message expands the potential readership to anyone personally considering the claims of Christ
