ONE of the BETTER BOOKS on the SUBJECT ★★★★★ 3 of 5
GREAT BOOK ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“If you disagree with my review, then by all means write your own, but please don't post comments to argue with me about what I said. Respectfully, this is a book review, not an invitation to a debate.
'Just pray more and read your Bible more.'
That in a nutshell seems to be the common, well-intended default advice for people who have become Christians, but still struggle with many of the same emotional issues that plagued them as unbelievers. However, if the above-referenced prescription was "the answer", we'd all be rid of our emotional baggage by now. Sadly, many of us are not. Being human, sometimes we need that tangible "loving touch of the hand of God" (tangible in a spiritual sense anyway) to help us get over the proverbial hump. Memorizing another Bible verse or reading another chapter of Scripture has not "done it" and is likely not going to "do it", as much as we wish and hope it will.
This book deals with the concept of inner healing for Believers; in short, a method of essentially "tapping in" to the insights of the Holy Spirit - and the power of God - to get to the root of long-standing struggles (of various types) weed them out, and ultimately become free of them. The concept and techniques are somewhat theologically controversial and not without their detractors, who feel among other things that inner healing as articulated in books like this is nothing more than people using their imagination to "picture" God doing something (in this case, healing) that He may - or may not - actually be doing.
Overall, this may well be the best book on the subject I personally have come across. It lays out the concept quite effectively. That being said, I have had no real success with the method of inner healing as expressed in this, or the other similar books I have read on the topic.
Is the the approach a valid one? Some people swear by it and say it quite literally changed their lives. The results claimed by advocates warrant our attention. For me though, it has yielded no real spiritual fruit.”

ENLIGHTENING BOOK ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“This
book really gets to the heart of the matter. It teaches you how to listen to
God and through the questions and stories, you hear things that your soul needs
to hear. Easy to read - very down to earth and useful! Changed my outlook on
many things within just the first 2 chapters!”

VERY HELPFUL ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“Going through this Guide is
helping me get at deep-seated stuff that I still need to deal with.
Rustenbach combines a wealth of knowledge of and experience with
inner-healing prayer with a very readable, simple writing style.
I very much recommend this to anyone who is willing to let God get at his or her broken areas.”

Heal the BROKENHEARTED - My Sheep Hear My Voice
★★★★★ 5 of 5
“This
is a very clearly written book on how to listen and hear from God, and how to
allow God to bring healing to the broken places in your life. It includes many
true life stories of healing, and asks wonderful questions for your own healing
journey. I have purchased several copies of this book to give to family and
friends. I am in a study of this book with two close friends, and we are seeing
wonderful results from using the concepts outlined in this book. It says in the
Bible, that Jesus came to ‘heal the brokenhearted’, and that ‘My sheep hear My
voice’. These two verses will become a reality to you as you apply the
principles found in this book. I highly recommend this book.”

FANTASTIC BOOK on LISTENING PRAYER,
especially for non-charismatics ★★★★★ 5 of 5
especially for non-charismatics ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“This
book translated so much of what I've admired about the Pentecostal movement's
understanding of prayer. It translates their contribution into language and
categories that are much more accessible and Scriptural for non-Pentecostal
Christians. This book has taught me to listen to and hear God speak through His
word and Spirit, and has made my relationship with Him more personal.”

is an excellent and practical resource to help the individual get in touch with

and re-read this book.”

AN EXCELLENT GUIDE ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“This
was the best handling of this subject that I have read, and I have read quite a
few books on this topic. The material is clearly presented and is both easy to
understand and easy to implement. I really appreciated the fact that Mr.
Rustenbach also explains what could keep a person from hearing from God and
what to do about it. I've recommended this book already to several of my
friends, and I will keep recommending it. Although the charts are hard to read
on the Kindle version, Mr. Rustenbach makes them available on a website, which
I also much appreciated.”

ANSWERS to WOUNDEDNESS ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“Rusty
Rustenbach's A Guide for Listening and Inner-Healing Prayer has
been instrumental in guiding seven of us into a greater awareness of God's
desire to speak deep into our lives. As we've learned how to better listen to
God, and as we've learned more about His desire to heal past wounding in our
lives, God has brought healing to some, a renewed hope for intimacy with the
Father for others and an increased desire for all of us to listen to His voice.
I believe that this guide can best be used by a small group whose members truly
desire to hear God's voice and experience inner healing in new ways.”

FREEDOM, TRUTH, LOVE ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“If
you would like a life with these 3 words as part of it this book is definitely
a must. If you are willing to look at your life honestly with a view toward
change and if you are willing to listen to God for help as you do this, this
book will encourage you. Filled with examples it is easy to follow and
understand. Do you believe that God does really know and love you. This book
shows examples of people who did not believe love of God was possible for them
changed as they personally experienced it.

A GUIDE for LISTENING and INNER-HEALING ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“I
first found this book for my Kindle reader and loved it from the first
paragraph. It has a lot of instructional information for learning how to look
inside yourself and how to listen to God for direction for inner healing or
just a closer walk with the Lord. I was excited to learn how to use the
techniques the author recommended and to begin practicing his methods. I liked
this book so well that I ordered three of the paper back versions, one for me
and two for my friends. I highly recommend it for people wanting to connect
with God in a personal way.”

WHOLENESS ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“The
Book developed a framework that I will use the rest of my life for myself and
for those I invest in ... to bring about wholeness. Rusty and the PRT are right
that people often hit a glass ceiling in becoming like Christ. This book identifies
those barriers and help you figure out how to move past them. It has helped me
begin a journey that I always wished I could be on. I have finally re-engaged
my heart and head and fight the spiritual warfare battle. Excellent!”

VERY GOOD ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“I
was a bit skeptical about this title, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is a
sensitively written book about listening prayer and learning to hear from God.
The book guides you through facilitating inner healing for yourself or someone
else. There are questions after each chapter to help you meditate on what you
have learned. It is written from a very humble and genuine point of view.”

WORTH IT! ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“After
working through this book, I would highly recommend this guide. Not only did I
find healing in some areas of my life, but also how to facilitate with others.
Rusty shares his life and experiences openly and helpfully. As I practice the
principles with others, I am awed to see God work in helping them see issues
more clearly and find healing in their hearts from long-term struggles and
shame. Amazing. If someone is willing to take the time to work through this
book I would venture to say it could be life-changing.”

PERFECT SELF-HELP for improving YOUR SPIRITUAL
LIFE ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“I
really like that this book contains questions at the end of each chapter to
assess your spiritual life with Christ. The chapters nicely guide individuals
through answering both simple and difficult questions to better understand his
or her struggles. This book is an excellent guide for both individuals and
small fellowship groups to complete and go over the questions and improves your
communication skills with Christ.
However,
I feel that this book is best used in a group setting, with at least one close
friend who understands you well. That individual can help provide words of
encouragement and help you stay accountable to completing the tasks at the end
of each chapter.
My
only complaint is that there are some tables in this book that are difficult to
read even when enlarged to fill the whole screen (such as the emotional wounds
picture in Appendix C). Due to this small problem, I had some trouble trying to
fully comprehend one or two questions within this book which required the image
to better answer. [Note: this was a defect in the original Kindle version: click here to see full chart.]
Overall, this book has a nice structure and provides thought-provoking questions which I fell has challenged myself to improve my walk with Christ. This is an excellent self-help resource for Christians who want to improve their spiritual life with Christ.”

A GUIDE for LISTENING to GOD ★★★★★ 5 of 5
“If
you are a Christian and are not hearing from God in your daily prayer-life,
then this book helps you to assess where you are struggling and where your life
could open up and find greater communication with the Lord. If your prayer-life
seems stifled, like you are talking to the ceiling, then this book will help
you discover a different way of looking at how you talk to God. There are
testimonies and stories of people who made discoveries in their prayer-life
interspersed throughout the script. The Biblical basis for inner-healing Prayer
is backed up through the text. This looks to be a good book for both individual
and group study, and is written in a textbook format.”
