Amazon reader review: This book is incredible. It is short, sweet, and clear. It said everything I needed to hear in just the way I needed to hear it. From knowing Jesus felt all emotions I do and more (including depression and anger) to helping me forgive myself and others, this book is a wonderful guide. Even if you don't identify with the religious aspects - the book will still be helpful. It's worth every dime!

Time alone cannot heal the memories of experiences so painful that we’ve been pushing them out of our conscious minds for many years. Yet such memories continue to cause us emotional and spiritual problems. They must be dealt with directly and deliberately by a special kind of spiritual therapy that Dr. David Seamands calls memory healing. This form of Christian counseling coupled with prayer focuses the healing power of the Holy Spirit on the root of the problem and breaks the bondage of traumatic memories.

Redeeming the Past (formerly titled Healing of Memories) has helped hundreds of thousands of people discover how God’s healing power can free them from the tyranny of painful memories which affect their behavior and Christian growth.

David Seamands helped me to strengthen my conviction that the Christian life is about Grace, not about following the Law. This is an excellent book for people who are caught in the spiritual trap of feeling guilty for not being able to perform as well as they would like. The author clearly shows how accepting God's Grace is part of the spiritual healing we receive through Jesus Christ.
