reviewed on


Do memories of your past haunt you? Is there help0 for people who suffer because of their own. past? Most people who suffer from bad memories want them to disappear. On the other hand, some want ot deny the problem and "just forget the past." Robert D. Jones shows that God provides a solution to the haunting problem of nagging bad memories. What is God's answer? If you belong to Jesus, God does have some thing better for you, Jones writes. God does not want to remove your memories; he wants to transform them int6o something good. Your bad memories of past sins-- even the worst ones--can be opportunities for life-changing growth. You do noty need to avoid, run from, or get rid of your past. Jones points out that painful thoughts may still intrude, but you need not escape them God is bigger than your past.
