Great BOOK...

thanks tarrah for lending me From FEAR to freedom by Rose Marie Miller...it is WONDERFUL...already halfway through it...
love this from what i ready today
"Religious moralism is rooted in the power of the will and self. Eventually it fails and we act like orphans: frightened, insecure people who need to be in control. We might be able to analyze our problems, but we cannot invent a cure.
Christianity is rooted in the power of Jesus Christ. Eventually we come to rely on what he has already done about sin. We can still analyze our problems, but ultimatlely our hope for a cure rests on the grace that comes through our relationship with Jesus...."
Love how HONEST she is...also she says...
"We become victims of sinful family patterns when we refuse to see them operating in ourselves. It is painful to come to this kind of self-knowledge. It means admitting that, in some areas, we have been sinful and/or deceived our whole lives...
"Avoidance of painful truth manifests itself in our always having to be right and being intensely defensive in the face of criticism..."
anyway is a GREAT book and I definitly RECOMMEND it!!!
