W. Stanfield, PhD, relates the importance of healing childhood trauma. Offering
solutions and explanation into habits and patterns that develop into adulthood
through an unstable home environment lend insight into an approach to holistic
healing. These means of holistic healing are through the rebirth process and
living a godly life. Consequently, the necessary ingredients that a child needs
is presented. He gives readers the tools to recognize unstable environments and
childhood trauma received from insecurity, giving hope to readers with
encouragement to seek holistic means of healing of the soul through Jesus, the
Bible and the application of Biblical principles.
Throughout
the author sheds light into practical application through scripture verses that
offer a clear perspective of the epidemic of dilemma affecting so many people
into their adult years. His book combines decades of research, his own
childhood trauma coming from an unstable environment, and depicts case studies
that further reveal the plight of victims in childhood. He gives truth to believers that they might
not be able to live a victorious life in Christ without certain biblical
principles in play. He encourages confrontation of issues related to childhood
trauma and perception to challenge.
Presenting
information that is without the usual psychological dogma that is difficult to
understand, he speaks to readers with compassion. Chapter One begins with
encouraging Biblical truths and profound, yet simple, insights that make this a
worth-while read to understand a child’s deep need for love, security and
self-esteem within a godly environment with parents being living examples of
God’s love. Crucial explanation of the basic foundational building blocks that
promote a well-rounded adult, the author conversely gives understanding to what
happens to children that don’t receive these basics in childhood. His book
gives an overview of brain function, mental development, and behavior cycles
that come from not receiving the basics in childhood. In essence, both the
brain and soul are affected; therefore, both are in need of reprogramming and
healing.
At
the core of his book is the solution for the soul in holistic healing
represented through the rebirth and receiving of the Holy Spirit. Without these
two functions, a Christian will not live victoriously. Unveiling the nature of
God, our Creator, as a loving Father, and Jesus Christ, His Son, the author
presents a guide to walking in the Spirit of God, giving Biblical truth as
foundational for becoming whole and free. Yet, he offers truth, and speaks of
false doctrine in certain theology that speaks of Christianity as a way to
become blessed, prosperous and not suffer. Rather, He speaks of the sanctified
soul and the dying to self as a way of daily walking with God.
Such
chapters ask pertinent questions such as: Is Your Past Your Present? Is Your
Perception Your Reality? The Power of Childhood, The Impact of the Home
Environment, Which Comes First – The Chicken or the Egg? Are You an Emotional
Stuffer? The Supremacy of the Soul, Do You Struggle with Control? Are You a
Deceived Believer? & Childhood-Launchpad Into Tomorrow. In this
way, the author offers information to identify such abnormal behavior,
emotions and patterns that may be hindering the readers’ walk in life that
affect relationships and personal fulfillment.
With
hope and dignity, the author gives practical Biblical solutions to bring forth
healing for the soul.
