A WORKBOOK FOR PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION. How would you like to: 1) Be restored to wholeness and inward freedom; 2) Master, not just barely manage, your emotional state; 3) Find the way out of depression and recover bright hope for your future; 4) Grow a great faith that no longer stumbles over anxieties and self-doubts ; and 5) Break the power of illnesses that may be rooted in unresolved emotional issues. So many in the Body of Christ are stressed by anxious concerns, carrying deep pain from the past, depressed in heart and spirit or just plagued by that whole host of negative emotions which can so easily quench the simple joy of living and ruin our health in the process. Rather than being released into the glorious liberty of the children of God, many believers have become captive to their inner lives—unable to discern and exercise the keys to freedom that Jesus has given us. Matters of the Heart is a 24 lesson teaching series designed to guide believers through the basic understandings necessary for releasing emotional damage from the past and gaining a grace-based restoration to wholeness. Each chapter is filled with “tools” for practical application so that the truths of the lessons can be shifted from the head to the heart—transforming the inner life. Would you agree that your emotional state holds the key to: your enjoyment of daily life, your ability to enjoy the Lord, your ability to be guided by God Your physical health, your relationships with others, your success in work and fruitfulness in ministry. Then set your heart “on pilgrimage” to discover the life Jesus died to give you and learn how you, too, can enter far more deeply into His peace than you could ever have imagined. Learn how to bring your wounded heart to God and receive His glorious heart for you!

One man's journey into a ten year living nightmare and his astonishing true story of return. Was it an insane delusion or a Satanic deception? This is a tale both incredible and terrible, yet studded with life affirming humor and hope-filled insights into the spiritual realities that surround us. From the first chapter: "…It was then that god showed up. The divine being that had come into my off-campus farm house at Duke one and a half years earlier now reappeared. Then it had been bathed in shimmering light, filled with promise. Now it simply was there. More real than the floor and walls. More real than me. I could sense it with every fiber of my being, but I couldn’t see it. Yet, its presence was in this moment more complete than any of the encounters I had had with it since its first appearance. I knew full well its past displeasure with me and shrank inwardly at realizing that it knew also how ignobly I had failed once again to find the way to rise into its higher life…" So began the Descent. Throughout history untold millions have tragically tumbled down the rabbit hole of insanity into the unsearchable depths of a shattered mind. Few have ever returned to tell about it. Part comical romp through the countercultural landscape of the ’60s, part exposé of the “dark side of the force,” Rescued from Hell is a cross between "One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest" and Dante’s "Inferno." It is the bizarre tale of an unsuspecting spiritual voyager caught in a spider web of New Age “spirituality” and cocooned in a terrifying, soul-destroying nether land that lasted for a decade. Was it an insane delusion or a satanic deception? It is simply too incredible to have been imagined...

Rescued from Hell: An Odyssey of Deception and Discovery

An illustrated guide to the spiritual life? How can those elusive, invisible realities be captured on paper? Perhaps paper cannot hold them, but the imagination can! Images enhance spiritual sight: surely, that's why our Lord used so many images in His parables, even putting live children in front of his disciples as object lessons, when they couldn’t “get it” any other way. Since Jesus also praised a childlike entrance into His Kingdom on earth, explore these simple images in the same spirit, looking to see if they might lead you "like a little child" beyond your present horizons of thought. This "Illustrated Guide" was created for the general reader: however it is also a perfect companion booklet for "The Missing Peace: Recovering a Whole Life in a Broken World," which is a compilation of the lessons from Healing Streams’ "Matters of the Heart: A Workbook for Personal Transformation," the seminar that "birthed" these images.
