Soul Care: 7 Transformational Principles for a Healthy Soul Paperback – June 1, 2016

It’s finally here. The book that will lay you on the operating table and perform open heart surgery. It’s the change you never knew you needed. The change that actually works. The openness of a real author that knows what it means to be human and values other people’s souls. It may upset you, and a plethora of many other emotions. But it’s part of the process that heals the wounds that have masqueraded under the surface of self your whole life. You want freedom, read and do!

I was assighned this book for my counceling. It is the best book on soul care. I am.learning a lot and highly recommend it. It is not an easy read but is thorough to process and deal with deep issues emotionaly from a spiritual, faith based perspective. I highly recomment. This book has assignments and requires work.

This book is the best book I have read in a long time. I believe is has changed the operational nature of my belief in a substantial way. This was the right book at the right time.For the last three years, I have been in a tough spot. I cannot change others; I can take care of myself. The premise of this book is that things happen in our lives that damage our souls. (Sometimes, just bad things we all face and sometimes the bad things are the result of my or someone elses sin.) Although, the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin, sometimes our soul is still damaged as we may heal badly. We may heal, but believe a lie and the lie becomes part of our healing. Maybe we were mistreated or someone left and we feel that our worth is less than accurate. Maybe we use anger, fear, overconfidence, deception or etc to maintain control in our lives. This book is about healing our souls or rather, reopening the wound and allowing Jesus to heal the wound and tell us the truth. I am more whole, more healed than I was. I am also closer to Jesus; prayer is more engaging and a more critical part of my faith.The premise has opened my mind and heart to a relationship to Jesus that is more full than I can ever remember.The book is written by someone that appears to believe in the charasmatic gifts. I am someone that has attended a traditional evangelical church for 50 years. This book is assessible to both groups.The book should be read and discussed with someone that you can be honest with, without having any emotional baggage. I have read the book twice, in both cases with two same gender friends. The book requires some introspection and processing.

I’ve been a Christian for most of my life, and I read and process at a high clip. Last year I read 70 books besides reading through the Bible regularly. I’ve read seminary level material, have some Greek and Latin, done short term missions and worked in full time ministry. No book outside of the Bible has fostered the magnitude of life-change that Soul Care has for me.Once you get used to Rob’s writing style and dig past the surface of this book, the principles are profound. I’ve begun using this book as a discipleship tool. We’ve given out 20-30 copies in the past year, and I could tell you multiple stories of confession, healing, and deliverance that have happened in that time.For the strange reviewer who balked at deliverance by comparing Rob’s process to a cult, I bless you and pray that the light of God’s face and favor shine on you, and that you find the truth of this book through other sources.I can only say this- the fruit of the Spirit that has increased in the lives of my friends who had a need for deliverance, and the radical shift in the atmosphere of worship and freedom in their lives has been nothing short of the Kingdom of God. I have more friends who have gone through the script to happily find nothing demonic, but received wonderful words from the Holy Spirit and scripture passages. We serve a living God with a real spiritual enemy. I’m afraid that reviewer would find early Christians (and those walking in the fullness of the Spirit) to be too “cult-like”. What a tragedy unique to modern-western Christianity that we now call sickness of God and criticize/call demonic or cult-like those who seek God’s healing presence. When Jesus walked the earth, sickness was often considered from the devil and healing was of God. How far we have fallen.Soul Care will deeply impact you as you journal and pray through it, and I can think of few books outside of God’s Word that I recommend with such zeal.
