Healed Without Scars

I heard about this book when I was listening on the Christian radio station; Bishop Evans shared his own testimony with regard to the book and it was his testimony that made an impact on me to purchase the book. We know from the Bible that healing is possible but sometimes we need to hear a witness share with us today how God's promises are for us even today! It is unfortunate that so many of us, who are Believers in Jesus Christ, have suffered with abuses of many forms in our lives. We have suffered so many hurts; disappointments; fears that interfere with our faith walk of freedom that comes in Jesus Christ. Yet, here is a book that reiternates the promises of God and God's ultimate motivation, which is love, that we can be healed from our scars. God is able to take that which was meant to destroy us and use it to rebuild us into vessels He can use for His glory as we become instruments of blessings to others because God was faithful to us. If you've been hurt...It's now time to be healed! Healed Without Scars is the promise of God that He is still (even today) the God who heals because His desire is that we be all that He desires us to be...Blessed to be blessing!

Bishop David G. Evans' book begins where most books end. Many authors have insights into how we can modify our behaviors or how we can manage our emotions, but Healed Without Scars explores the WHY behind our behaviors and emotions. Too often I have found myself treating symptoms only to find myself always having a new set of defeating circumstances to deal with in my life. Healed Without Scars goes beyond the surface aspects of life and helps the reader explore the depths of the human soul, all to bring about freedom. Bishop Evans offers hope on every page, while taking the journey with the reader towards personal wholeness. There is no way to read this book and not have the tools needed to be healed and free. Bishop Evans balances his personal experiences with his brilliant handle on the Word of God and delivers the Truth on a level that Christian and Non-Christian alike can understand. He explores topics such as the child-father relationship, the importance of faith and praise during the hard times, and the power of forgiveness. Whether you have had issues with abuse, betrayal, addiction, or just everyday pain from life, this book will give you the answers to all of your questions, AND will position you for your healing. I am eternally grateful for this book..and to know that I can truly be healed without scars.

Bishop Evans is a gifted writer who reaches out to you personally from the pages of this eye-opening book and takes you beyond your mask and brings you face to face with life issues that we typically cope with but seem never to be completely delivered from. He has been able to articulate and give me resolve to emotions that I have found difficult to express. I've cried, I've reflected, and I've come away with a better understanding of myself, and those who have been in my life and their impact on me, and mine on them. I've learned to take my portion of responsibility for the aftermath of choices forced upon me and those I've willingly made. Bishop Evans' own personal experience with his father, the chapter regarding pastor/parishioner relationships and the eloquent way that he relates the prodigal son's father to our Savior standing in the pathway of all our lives with outstretched arms waiting on our arrival helped me to drop some weights that I did not realize were still affecting me; and at the same time has given me expectations for a brighter future with a God who loving accepts me, is watching every step I make, and is waiting for me as I come closer and closer to my final destination in Glory!

Bishop Evans' book has certainly managed to capture the heart, the reasoning, behind why an individual may choose to live his/her life in a "masquerade" fashion. Life's journey for that individual may have presented a variety of intensely, painful situations, and thus, his/her life exists as nothing more than a cultivation of survival techniques to mask the pain. Bishop Evans' book presents a wonderful and truthful resolution to unmask this painful dilemma regardless of the individual's past or present traumatic circumstance. This book can be used as an excellent tool for counseling individuals in search of answers to living a divinely purposeful life.

Bishop Evans' book is indeed transforming and healing. He helps you by empathizing with your pain then turning you to look towards God. Through examples, he doesnt just tell you, but he shows you how to conquer your past hurts. I've read other books biblically counselling on pain, but they were very preachy, not applicable, or they started out promising, but did not complete the job. Bishop Evans' book is complete and he leads you through a process that will transform your ability to handle all your past and future pains. He gives examples from other people's lives, going through the deepness of their pain first. He empathizes with the people and then and navigates through the pain with you, before showing you how to turn to God for your healing. There are no stones unturned because his examples help illustrate all the kinds of pain we struggle through from our past. Whether it's abuse, rejection, or any other kind of emotional pain from our past, Healed Without Scars has the healing steps for you to finally overcome your past. Bishop Evans, before publishing this book, gave a whole series of messages on being Healed Without Scars. After reading the book, I got the series as well, and it has helped me and friends of mine whom I have shared them with. This book will be a blessing to you too.
