"To Be Made Whole, a Handbook for Inner Healing" By Jim Hill
The numbers of walking wounded in our society are increasing in epidemic proportions and we are in denial at all levels. Half of us are looking for answers to our issues while the other half are often the cause of those issues. As believers, our faith tells us that ultimately, Jesus is the only answer we need. This being true, we still find ourselves in a place where we canıt explain the way we feel, the anxiety that pursues us, the loneliness that overwhelms us, sudden outbursts of anger against the ones we love, withdrawing from friends and family, struggles with depression, weight gains, hoarding, possessivenessit is enough to cause a meltdown!
In his book, To Be Made Whole, a Handbook for Inner Healing, author Jim Hill states that refusing to deal with situations does not improve the odds of it getting better. If you wish to play the ostrich and stick your head in the sand, the only likely result is that you leave your backside vulnerable. We must face facts. Not doing so only continues the pain and causes the people around us to suffer with us. To Be Made Whole is a no nonsense book giving practical answers to unexplained and frustrating issues, to anyone seeking the truth or causes behind them.
Hill stipulates that the law of cause and effect should be considered. ³Actions have consequences, consequences have causes or effects have causes and the cause may be spiritual.² It is painful for us to face facts. Hill encourages a person to seek out a trustworthy counselor or friend who can help you work through the process. The author outlines seven principles for this process that can be followed to stay the course. Once the course is determined, a four-point diagnostic test is used to evaluate where you are physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
