She goes on to describe how “dark folx’ humanity is dependent on how much they disobey and fight for justice” describing how it “can sometimes be a losing battle” (Love, 2019, pp. 70-71).

The experiences patients go through are one like no other. They come to, “...express a spiritual realm and a loving presence that some refer to as God…” (Lichfield). During this period they might also come, “into contact with relatives that have been deceased, and at the same time, recalling previous events that occured in one's life” (Lichfield).

Dr. C. Moorer’s novel not only resonates with those who are downtrodden and are looking to God for help in their endeavors, but also those who are not religious and are searching for success and fulfillment in their lives. In From Failure to Promise – "360 Degrees" Moorer establishes six different ‘tracks’ as it were, that have allowed him to reach his final success, each one having a profound and vital lesson for the reader.

Now that I am continuing my education and pursuing my masters in occupational therapy, I understand the importance of spirituality in this practice.

SINGAPORE BIBLE COLLEGE Book Reflection: The Wounded Healer by Henri J. M. Nouwen Submitted to Esther Tan CO502 – Theory and Practice in Counseling by Shongzan Chanlila Khayi Mail Box # 120 SINGAPORE 21 August, 2013 The Wounded Healer by Henri J.M. Nouwen is one such book which is simple yet very insightful, solemn yet very challenging. He stirs up our interest as he deals with the biggest concern of our modern day leaders in our churches and society – the struggle with our weaknesses. And I believe his philosophy goes much deeper than what is actually written.
“Father God, in Jesus Christ’s name I come to You today and I confess that I am a sinner.” “I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for my sins, and that He rose again on the third day and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and will return one day for me.” “I now confess all my sins known and unknown, and repent of them.” “Lord Jesus Christ, I ask You to forgive me and cleanse me from all sin.” “Lord Jesus Christ, I ask You to come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour and to fill me with Your Holy Spirit.”
