Set the Captives Free

About the Book

Set the Captives Free: Experiencing Healing Through Holistic Restoration is a ministry whose foundation is intercessory prayer. Based on his twenty-five years of lay and pastoral ministry, Victor D. Marshall has discovered that congregations which are difficult to lead, tend to be unhealthy. Furthermore, such congregations become weak because of at least four reasons, thus leading to inactivity in ministry. Marshall believes firmly that it is essential for leaders to provide a conducive worship environment out of which their congregants can be led to find meaningful experiences with Christ. In this holistically- focused ministry, Marshall shares a few cases where the ministry has made an effective impact. Moreover, this theologically- and psychologically-grounded ministry features a hierarchy based on four phases namely disequilibrium, deliverance, harmony and optimal through which individuals and congregations must go through in order to experience holistic healing. Additionally, individuals must begin at the two foundational processes, then travel along the three journeys which can be painful and finally move on to the two steps, all of which have the potential to assist with holistic healing. As you turn the pages of Set the Captives Free: Experiencing Healing Through Holistic Restoration, you will encounter resources to assist your congregation, be it difficult to lead, stagnant or riddle with unstable interpersonal relationships.
