Though neither a psychologist nor a pastor, in this book, the author writes from the viewpoint of a lay minister of inner healing. She has had extensive training and experience and approaches the subject from what she calls "a gentle charismatic" viewpoint. As the reader turns the pages through the chapters from the "whos?" to "whys?" to "how tos," this book may also serve as a way in which God will search out the reader's own heart. As the original editor, Tom Denbo, put it, "The Holy Spirit was continually ministering to me as I read . . . often I had to stop because I couldn't see the screen through my tears . . . Those who have suffered greatly in the Lord have a quality of ministry that is like no other. This work has that quality. It has the fragrance of a life work poured out before the Lord."
