The Gift of Wholeness Author:Hal L. Edwards This is a story of hope, joy, frustration, and pain as Hal Edwards moves from a defensive position of life to one of loving and open acceptance of himself and others. This is the story of one man's search for himself and for wholeness---yet it is also the story of all of us. As we identify with Hal's struggles to find himself in relationship t... more »o God, we, too, are better able to understand ourselves and our own pilgrimage. This is not only a book about Hal Edwards---it is also the story of sensitive persons who unlocked the boxes that imprisoned Hal throughout his life and ministry. Through loving acceptance and open sharing, these persons enabled Hal to become open and vulnerable in personal relationships and small group situations. Gradually this transformation was evidenced, not only in his own life, but in the lives of every person he touched. Hal Edwards sums it up aptly when he says, "I'm writing to people who, like myself, are conscious of a hunger towards personal wholeness...people who want to breakout of religious bondage and use their past by becoming a recipient of the gift of wholeness."« less
