If
we want to move forward we must overcome the past. But that is not
such a simple process. It requires intentional effort as well as key
strategies and techniques implemented through prayer and the
diligence to persevere.
Trimm
gives us the tools we need to rewire our mind and retrain our
thinking. She addresses strongholds and spiritual influences. She
reminds us that liberty from those things that bind us is available.
She also writes about repentance, defining moments, controlling our
perception by digging into God's Word, having a vision for the
future, healing the pain of shame, overcoming rejection and
abandonment, and breaking free from the pain of abuse.
I
found her writing about spiritual orphans to be especially
enlightening. It was new information for me and explained much of
what I've seen in people. It is encouraging to know that God has
provided freedom through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Reading
this book gave me again a sense of how much God desires intimacy with
us. Trimm has done an excellent job in giving us the tools to
overcome that which hinders us from the intimacy. Her book is not a
miracle fix. This is a spiritual battle of dying to the old and
living to the new. Trimm does provide the techniques but we must still
exert the effort, trusting in the Holy Spirit as we cultivate our
relationship with God. It takes courage, the courage God gives.
Every
day we get to choose, Trimm says. Will you choose to move forward? If
so, this book will help you on your way.

“You
have God's divine power within, and that is stronger than any
debilitating power without.” (12)
“True
change begins in the mind.” (40)
