Healing Is A Choice by Stephen Arterburn


Healing is a choice by Stephen Arterburn makes the claim to transform your life if you follow ten steps.  There is a workbook section at the end of every chapter.  The author is clear that it is a choice, then he said we cannot do it alone.  He covers many areas in the book such as loss, sexual sins, and especially divorce, which he draws from his own life.  The ten steps are questions to ask yourself and then he gives the thing that will stop you from healing.  The author shares a lot of his experiences through his own divorce.

The author fails to connect healing to the truth of God's word.  He relies to much on professional help and to little on what you can do for yourself.  Maybe he can pay all the fees for therapy but I can't.  He also said you need a support group but does not tell you how to find that support group.  I have never known a depressed person that had too many friends.   The workbook at the end of each chapter leaves much to be desired.  I don't like think of a time questions and there were a lot of them.
