I attended a Sozo Session in Peterborough, Ontario, at a healing centre,
last month and I am amazed at what was unlocked in me.
I thought I was in pretty good shape as far as forgiveness goes. Was I
wrong! I could write a book just on the benefits of this one session I
attended.
Sozo is the Greek word used in the Bible that when translated to
English, means to save, to heal, to make whole, rescued, pulled from
danger or lifted above trouble.
Here's a brochure with information on this incredible healing and
deliverance session called Sozo. (Please note: the 'brochure'
is in pdf format and when opened will need to be rotated to read.)
We have also published 2 books this past year which I feel would touch
directly many people in their walk with God and there understanding of
themselves and God's incredible love.
Attach Me If You Can
by Phillip Hamburg L.M.S.W.,
L.M.F.T
Paul Tournier stated: “At the heart of personality is the need to feel a
sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance.”
In 1975 when I started seeing children in therapy at the Grand Rapids
Child Guidance Clinic in Grand Rapids, Michigan it seemed like the major
problems with children consisted of acute traumas caused by sudden
tragedies like house fires, car accidents and abuse issues. Then there
were the lesser problems of separation anxieties, night terrors, bed
wetting and oppositional defiance. By the time I transitioned from the
clinic to Head Start in 1998, most of the problems seemed much more
serious. I found children who displayed little to no conscience, kids
who could not make friends and many who exhibited violent rage
reactions. What happened in less than a quarter century? It became more
and more clear to me that parents and children were l4sing the capacity
to attach to each other. I went on my personal campaign (and still am)
lecturing about rage and the consequences of a lack of attachment. I
approached the attachment problem not from the perspective of who’s at
fault but what do we do about it! The teachers and parents attending the
lectures kept asking me to put what I covered into a book and after many
years I finally forced myself to sit long enough to write it.
My goal is that the pages of this book will provide hope and techniques
on how to help children attach, feel safe, and ultimately act lovable.
The conviction of being lovable is what defuses all the rage and fear.
Mr. Hamberg is a licensed clinical social worker and a licensed marriage
and family therapist in the state of Michigan. He has thirty-six years
of experience in the treatment of emotional problems with children and
families, specializing in the very young child.
Note-although this says it is directed at children, many adults are
walking around in an immature emotional state, because they have been
locked into something in childhood. This book is as useful for adults as
it is for children
Betrothed an Intimate Face to Face Walk With God
by Douglas
A. Wheeler Th. D., Ph. D.
Four thousand years ago God chose a people for a specific purpose,
which has
remained constant to this very day. That purpose was to reveal His
desire for an
intimate relationship. Through their language, history, and culture we
can come to an understanding of God’s nature as He reveals how to walk
in a holy lifestyle. In Betrothed we see this plan of God revealed
conceptually through the entirety of
Scripture, that His ultimate goal is to select and prepare a bride for
His Son.
Many Christians today talk about being the Bride of Christ, but few
realize the extent that God has gone to in bringing this reality to the
heart of the believer. This is not only a place of position but a valid
and real place of experience. We spend our Christian
journey in the maze of performance and never fully realize that the
major work for this
intimate relationship has been provided through Jesus Christ. It has
been lost to us through doctrines and theologies that have little or
nothing to do with relationship itself.
In Betrothed we understand, from God’s perspective, what it means to be
married to His Son. Jesus spent much of His earthly ministry teaching us
about His upcoming
marriage. This understanding, however, has been clouded by the Western
mindset to the point that marriage to Jesus has become simply a
theological term with no real meaning.
As we move back into a Hebraic understanding of the New Testament, the
revelation of marriage to Jesus becomes remarkably clear. Statements of
intimacy such as “Thou shalt have none other gods before me”
(Deuteronomy 5:7) and “I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2) take
on new and exciting meanings.
Betrothed will leave the reader with a clearer picture of how to walk in
a more intimate relationship with the Father. Many old beliefs will be
challenged as one truly understands what it means to be the Bride of
Christ. Betrothed is the experiential walk of an average believer who
desires to find fullness in intimacy with God.
Douglas A. Wheeler, PhD, ThD, is a pastor and professor teaching the
Scriptures from the original Hebraic language, history and culture. Dr.
Wheeler has authored other works, including The Menorah: A Picture of
the Christian Life, Hebrew Bible Study Methodology, Benching and the
Early Christian Meal, The Salt of the Earth, The Law of the Fringe, The
Echad of God, and For the Love of God. Dr. Wheeler travels extensively,
teaching on these and other subjects. He is currently senior pastor of
Grace Fellowship Church. He is also president of Jubilee Christian
College and Jubilee Graduate School of Jewish/Christian Studies. He is
married to his wife, Joyce, of twenty-five years and has two sons and
three grandchildren. The ultimate goal of his life is to walk in an
ongoing personal, intimate relationship with the Lord and to teach
others to do the same.
Note: this is the best book on grace and love I have seen in a long
time. Although there is a lot of Hebrew, it is a very, very easy read,
and cuts down to the soul on understanding how much we are loved.
Without understanding ourselves and God, His love can fall right off of
us, but as we come to a greater understanding of ourselves and Him, His
love "sticks" better to us and therefore we are in a better position to
.
Both books are available as ebooks and soft cover books, ebooks via

Training materials and DVD's can be ordered for SOZO from Susan Rashotte.
I have a DVD set-very detailed and also great to use as a refresher from
individual sessions.
Susan is also an author in her own right with a book called Heaven's
Heartbeat.
We have published many books on prayer and healing in the last couple of
years that will be encouraging to others as well as providing deeper
understanding for others.
