Summary: good helper
Review: David Seamands insight is God-given - a clear understanding of the tangled emotions that happen as a result of sin - ours, or the sin around us. His "symptoms of perfectionism" caught me off guard - "I ought to have done better" syndrome; feeling in perpetual 2nd place; general anxiety that sometimes lifts during spiritual highs, but returns quickly afterwards; denial of anger and all of the above. His healing techniques are rooted in the Word and centered on Christ - real and commpassionate.

Summary: Why do I act or respond as I do?
Review: David Seamands shares why and how to move beyond crippling emotions. This book gave me the hope to look outward and not inward for healing. Biblical principles with scriptures are abundant to show the way of God, not the way of man. The choice is mine. Do I want God's way and peace or man's way and confusion. This choice is also yours to make.

Summary: Except for the Bible, this is the best book I have ever read
Review: God has used this book to wipe away the confusion and frustration that I have endured over many, many years. This book has given me understanding and God has set me free. I can now forgive others and ESPECIALLY myself! I now know the difference between bad theology and true Christian maturity.If you hate yourself or are muddling through the muck and mire of depression, then let David Seamands show you your TRUE self and the TRUTH about the unconditional love that God has for you.

Summary: Very good book. Healing for Damaged Emotions helped me a lot
Review: Healing for Damaged Emotions has really helped me in my spiritual growth. I am still human and I still make mistakes, but I feel that I can cope with them better after reading this book. I would strongly recommend it to others. David Seamands did a great job, using scriptures to back up what he was saying. Of course I wouldn't put it above the Bible, but I would say that it comes in a close second. I will say that this book with the exception of the Bible really helps me understand the difference between the real me and the super me. I believe that God led David A. Seamands to write this book, and I also believe that He (God) led me to buy this book. George Nelson

Summary: Superb, A true balm in gilead..
Review: I have found this book to be informative,eyeopening, and a healer. The part I like the best is when he mentions that your sins is thrown into the Lake where it is forgotten by God and he puts up a sign that says "No Fishing". I can relate. Which is why I call it a true balm in Gilead. Christians need to know that although they are saved by God's grace, they still have some overcoming to do, and it is not impossible to do it.

Summary: Therapy for those with injured self esteem

Summary: Excellent Biblical Advice on Emotional Healing
Review: Seamands has written an excellent book relevant to every Christian and non-Christian, namely, how to be healed from negative emotional wounds. Among the important subjects include: 1. How Satan can tempt us to feel inadequate to the point where we are rendered powerless to be used by God for His glory.
2. Symptoms of perfectionism.
3. Truths and myths of depression.
4. How to deal with depression.
5. Developing your worth from God and not the false assumptions of you or others. 6. Cooperating with the Holy Spirit in our healing.
7. Grace is not only God's undeserved mercy and favor, it cannot be repaid. The author maintains a fine balance between understanding and showing sympathy to what causes damaged emotions and challenging the reader to take responsibility for his own healing in the power of the Holy Spirit. Too many books try to make the reader feel good without taking responsibility, resulting in a fruitless pity party. Read and be encouraged and challenged to let the healing process begin!
