Win a Free Copy of Breakthrough

I've just been reading Breakthrough, an outstanding book by Tim Clinton and Pat Springle -- and I have an extra copy to give to one lucky commenter.

If you leave a comment at a Breakthrough update on my Facebook page, before noon (central time), you'll be entered in the drawing.  If you're not on facebook and would like to be entered in the drawing, send me an e-mail (you can find it on our staff page at http://www.haywardwesleyan.org/.)

Breakthrough is a guide for untangling complex relationships. Sometimes, we find ourselves in confusing situations where we're feeling stuck relationally.  When you really care about someone, it's easy to get trapped in painful, unhealthy communication patterns. 

Tim Clinton (a noted Christian counselor) and Pat Springle (bestselling author) provide excellent insights into why we behave the way we do, how we can experience significant breakthroughs from unrealistic expectations and how to love with healthy boundaries.

Going through this book is like sitting down with a personal counselor.  Clinton and Springle bring understanding and clarity for those who feel controlled or manipulated by a family member, friend, or co-worker.

The insightful, probing questions at the end of each chapter, alone, are worth the price of the book.

Purchase Here.

Good luck on the drawing!  I hope you win!

    Great review. This book is a game-changer for those who need help setting boundaries in their life. Some of us try too hard to control others; others of us allow ourselves to be manipulated, even bullied. This book addresses both these dysfunctions but offers real life examples of how to change. There’s a helpful article on how to break free of relational enmeshment, based on the insights of the book, which you can read for free, at http://www.wikihow.com/Recognize-and-Break-Free-of-Relational-Enmeshment

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema

My Updated Ordination Succession

-
 I made an error when I listed my ordination succession a few weeks ago.  I was ordained by Earle Wilson and he was ordained by William Neff. I had thought that Neff was ordained by early Pilgrim leader, Seth Rees, but upon further investigation, he was actually ordained by Winfred Cox.  Thus, my ordination line takes a fortunate turn. It was a struggle reconciling Rees anyway.  I had taken a leap saying that he was ordained by the Nazarenes -- when, in fact, he was originally "recorded" (not ordained) by the Quakers, and the Nazarenes claim they never ordained him.  I find that hard to believe -- especially when, according to historian, Kostlevy, he participated in ordinations for the Metropolitan Church Association, a forerunner of the Pilgrim Holiness Church. Anyhow -- deepest apologies for leading anyone astray and here is the updated ordination succession for Earle Wilson and anyone ordained by him (including former Wesleyan GS, JoAnne Lyon). I was ordained by Earle Wils
