Released to Soar

For ten years, physician Peter Boelens and his wife Eleanor have been practicing a new treatment for depression and anxiety--healing prayer that invites Christ into clients' painful memories. Clients still remember past hurtful events, but their pain is gone. Released to Soar describes the Boelens' healing prayer process, documents its effectiveness, and demonstrates its practice-for readers' personal use or to help others. Over their lifetime, Dr. Peter and Eleanor Boelens have founded and worked in Christian medical ministries: a community health, church-planting program in postwar South Korea; Cary Christian Health Center in the delta of Mississippi; indigenous, worldwide community health ministries through the Luke Society; and Shalom Prayer, a psycho-spiritual healing prayer ministry. Released to Soar is their third book. The stories of their other ministries are told in Delta Doctor and Where Next, Lord? The Boelens divide their time between Mississippi and Michigan. Maureen Rank, author or coauthor of fourteen books, has assisted the Boelens with all three books about their ministries.
