Solutions: Relational healing for the next generation

 

 

 Solutions: Healing for the Next Generation By Cathy Morrill with Wendy Coy and the cross/fire team.

A PDF of the entire book!

 

 

 I have permission from the author, Catherine Morrill  for referencing her book!


Although this book was written as an outgrowth of a dynamic ministry to young people..
anyone of any age can benefit! It is written in easy to read and understandable language with a lot of graphics that help communicate vital truths!
It's a PDF of the complete book!  


Check out the Table of Contents.

It is good to start at the beginning and scan or read through the whole book...and then go back to the topic that you sense the  Holy Spirit directing you to.  

...but here are a few key subjects that have a profound affect on our lives! 

P.13: How to use Solutions 
        You can go through the book by yourself or with a small group. But start and continue with prayer. This is a great book to read, and remember that this is a prayer ministry, NOT a counseling ministry. 

P. 76: Tools: "How to pray to break the power of generational sin"...a topic we don't hear  much about!

P. 87: Not the Brady Bunch...Every family has a story.
Siblings & sibling rivalry. Blended families, Adoption...Common childhood experiences, but healing is possible.

P. 98: Forgiveness..."Forgiveness heals. It removes bitterness and sin from our hearts, and gives Jesus more room..."

 P.122: Mom, Dad & Me. "Our heavenly Father really cares. He has not left us to work out our relationships on our own. Family is His idea and He has the power to bring change."
Need to watch out for that bitter root growing up in us..."See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many." Hebrews 12:15.  
 A bitter root starts with a seed of discontent being sown...usually by the enemy...and then we can nourish it...with unforgiveness  and the roots can grow deep. That "bitter root" will eventually destroy all relationships in our lives... with God and our families. 


Appendix 2: Who I Am in Christ

As a first step in relational healing, I highly recommend this book!

 

● It was part of a ministry called "The River" many years ago.

There would be a time of Worship.

Then a short Teaching. Interactive.

Then 2 small groups...of men alone and women alone.

A confidential Prayer ministry...NOT Counseling.

It was and  is a ministry of  Relational healing.

 

Cathy's blog! 

  Catherine gives some insights why we sometimes get "stuck" in our relationships...and can't seem to improve or change!


  It's always good to have a trusted friend where we can be transparent and share in confidence. 

 

Importance of listening to people experiencing trauma.

 

Sometimes people just need to have someone to talk to. Someone to listen to them. 

  

We don't really know how they "feel"...because we  haven't walked in their shoes...so we listen, listen, listen...and pray. 

 

Perception is reality! 

 

What we have experienced and learned as volunteer Salvation Army Chaplains.
