Book Review: Supernatural Freedom from the Captivity of Trauma: Overcoming the Hindrance to Your Wholeness

 *****

This is one of those books where the title speaks volumes. Living with and through trauma can become a stronghold in a person's life. We learn to identify with affliction. Trauma can create bonds of good (finding this book) and bad (acting out our trauma and pain). Having someone, even in book form, speak faith, healing, and hope in one's life can, in my case, produce tangible forms of restoration and healing. I learned about this book via Sid Roth's program It's Supernatural. It is full of hope and insight mentally, physically, spiritually, and psychologically. The language is easy to comprehend and is free from clinical and/or overt medical terminology.  We are prompted to ask ourselves, "What are we going to do with that trauma?" No matter the form whether it's PTSD from war, suicide, insanity, or alcoholism, there is hope. This book is freeing insight from the chains that bind us and torment us.

The most meaningful quote for me about creativity comes not from an artist but from a recovering alcoholic, writer, counselor, theologian, public speaker, and management consultant. "The greatest learning of my life is that creativity overcomes violation and is the answer to violence."--John Bradshaw
