In these endtimes with so much evil and frightening things happening all around us, the need for more and more counselors for the hurting, confused, sick, and troubled people are evident.

Jesus’ command to us is to “set the captives free”, and this book attempts to do just that.

Abuse, Parent-Child Relationship, Deliverance, The Holy Spirit, Forgiveness, Inner Healing, Youth Counseling, and Marriage.
