Rating:  Summary: Sorry Liberty, your pseudo-Gnostic book is out in left field Review: This book is full of exegetical fallacies. She bases her entire study of binding and loosing upon the definitions of these words and completely ignores the context these words are in."Perhaps the principal reason why word studies constitute a particularly rich source for exegetical fallacies is that many preachers and Bible teachers know Greek only well enough to use concordances, or perhaps a little more. There is little feel for Greek as a language; and so there is the temptation to display what has been learned in study, which as often as not is a great deal of lexical information without the restraining influence of context. The solution, of course, is to learn more Greek, not less, and to gain at least a rudimentary knowledge of linguistics." D.A. Carson, "Exegetical Fallacies" p. 64 I would have given this book ZERO stars if it were possible! I read this book because a member of my church gave it to me to read. I will quickly go share with her how misguided this book is.
Rating:  Summary: This book is a must for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: This is an incredible step to freedom. The depth of understanding you receive on binding and loosing alone is worth the read. I have been doing classes on this book and it is truly changing lives. We all need to face the past and get over it! Traumatic facts from our pasts cannot be "changed," they exist. Unresolved trauma creates unhealed hurts, unresolved issues, and unmet need deep within our souls. These hurts and issues become "sources" of fuel for feelings of pain, fear, distrust, anger and wrong desires. To survive we all learn behaviors that temporarily pacify and take the edge off the pain. The key to overcoming all this is to dismantle the core structure of our soul's power and control that has been blocking out the healing work of the Holy Spirit. Then God's mercy and grace can get to the sources" and heal them. This book will help you understand how to work with God to receive your healing and wholeness.
Rating:  Summary: Powerful -- supplies a missing link for full freedom! Review: This is one of the most life-changing, powerful books I have read in a long time. It has changed my life and has changed the way I pray for others. I highly commend it to any one desiring to be totally free from hang-ups and from ungodly, undesirable habits. For me, it was a missing link for some of the apparent unanswered prayers... they were really incomplete prayers, because I did not have this knowledge of how to powerfully commit people and their needs to God and to the power of the resurrection in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is powerful! Things will happen in your life and in the lives of those for whom you pray. I am eternally grateful for the insight that this book has to offer.
Rating:  Summary: God changed my life through this book. Review: Through the experiences and knowledge given to Rev. Savard, this book can produce a freedom and liberty within each of us to live victorious in Jesus Christ! Through God's wisdom and the principles within this book, I came to realize that we can receive God's healing of past hurts and offenses and yet not have complete freedom - for the hidden strongholds remain erected in our lives. Gaining the knowledge to either pray them down or scale their walls comes from understanding how and why they became a part of our spiritual life - "Shattering Your Strongholds" does just that! Experiencing this book has been life changing for me - I have experienced a renewal and a revival - once again I can walk in the fullness of God's authority because the enemy has been exposed!
