Received in a timely manner

The book arrived sooner than expected, brand new and packaged very well with no damage

Good Book - could be used in small groups

If you have ever gone through the OSL training classes for healing, or even just a good study of the healings of Jesus, you know there is still need for Christians to discuss the particuliars of "how" and "when," etc. This book answers many of these questions, although I have just finished a new book by Tiffany Snow "The Power of Divine" that goes one step better. Nevertheless, this "Hunger" book has points in it that the new Christian healer may need to familiarize with before stepping out in faith to work with God.

A deeply Spiritual Way of working the Twelve Steps

A perfect book for you who is working the steps in any Twelve Step Program - AA, Al-Anon, NA, OA or other... The book goes through the steps in a very pedagogic way from a spiritual perspective covering problems related to all kinds of problems of addiction and sin. Problems you can have even after you recovered from your primary disease. In the end of every chapter and step Keith Miller gives you questions to work with. He also covers aspects of sponsorship and problems with drawing lines/boundaries towards others. In doing so he clearly talks from his own experiences as an recovered workaholic and sinner. Gorskis' "Understanding the Twelve Steps" and Joe's & Charlie's "the Big Book Study" gave me an basic understanding of the Twelve Step Program, but this is my favorite book when it comes to getting deeper understanding of lives basic problems and to the spiritual side of the program. I "must" for anyone wanting to grow spiritual, even if they haven't worked the steps before.

A Hunger for Healing

This is a powerful book on healing. I came across this book about 5 years ago when my Christian Counselor told me to read it. I have read it numerous times and have bought many of them to share with others. This book embraces the healing process. No matter what your struggle may be, you can gain victory over it through this book's process. It is an excellent book that can be used individually or with a group in a twelve step program.

Do you lie awake at night with anger? Resentment?

Are you hungry? Hungry for healing? What a wonderful book. Here's twelve step book for people addicted to control of their lives. What's that? Too much self control can be a problem? It can be, if you'd rather yield your life to the Higher Power! Echoing the previous reviewer, it's easy to read, difficult to take.... ...and a journey well worth taking. This book is for anyone addicted to sin. Special emphasis is placed on the sins of control, anger, and resentment, although those addicted to mundane vices such as drugs, alcohol, sex or food can benefit from this book too! :)
