Woman, Thou Art Loosed!: Healing the Wounds of the Past

I ordered Woman Thou Art loosed: Healing the wounds of the past. I received the novel version instead!

If you are broken, hurting our just want to be lifted up this book is great. Especially good for gifts to those who are down and broken.

How a person can overcome the pitfalls that come to you, in life, on a day to day basis. Bishop Jakes is remarkable in helping women to, "Let Go and Let God".

T.D. Jakes has gone directly to the soul of women in WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED! In what can only be described as a spiritual love sonnet to women, Jakes speaks to all of the hurt and pain that has been experienced by women since the beginning of time. Using taut Biblical examples like Sara, Eve, and Esther, Jakes ministers to women in a way that convinces you that divine intervention was in play when he penned these words. WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED! delves into women's roles as ordained by God and how often these roles have become confused due to old hurts, pain, and abuse. As Jakes covers a plethora of issues including incest, premarital sex, rape, and promiscuity, he speaks directly to the reader. You often feel you are sitting in the room with him as he discusses these topics and the biblical insight into his views. He prays with you as you read and he encourages every woman to reach for her individual greatness in God. I have read this book twice and both times I was in very different places in my life. Each reading brought me a very different and personal message. Jakes describes the stages of life within the text and I found myself easily in his metaphor. I was so moved by his words that I dismissed my reading of the book for a second time as coincidence and acknowledged it as the "God- incidence" that it certainly was. WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED! is a book that should be on every woman's nightstand because no matter what you are experiencing, Jakes has a message for you time and time again.

This book was truly a blessing for the christian and non-christian woman. It is truly a book I will keep on my self for renewal. It's a book for the young woman who is seeking God's face in her life, it's for the middle aged woman who has been trough and as always gotten bruised, it's for the older woman who has seen God's face. T.D. Jakes has a ministry for healing, one that is truly in the healing of women. I thank God for him, for using him to touch broken spirits.

I have read this book three times. The first time I read it, I had just come home from the a mental hospital following a suicide attempt. My husband left me for another woman following 17 years of marriage. I was at a complete loss. A friend of mine recommended Woman Thou Art Loosed and I read it in one day. I couldn't put it down. It was like this book had been written for me because Bishop Jakes knew me personally and could feel my pain. Once my mind was clear, I realized that Jesus knew me personally, knew my pain and wanted me to come back home. HE wanted to be the man in my life. I needed no other. To make a long story short, I read the book, renewed my faith, embraced My Lord and life, picked myself up, dusted myself and here I am three years later, loving My Lord, loving life and proud that I AM the Daughter of A King. Give God the Praise!!!
