Books proliferate on the subject that this book tackles. I usually ignore them, unless they're free or insanely cheap. For some reason, I took a closer look at this one. It's rated 5 stars, over 61 reviews. Do you realize how hard it is for any book to keep a 5-star average with all of the malcontents, grousers, and ignoramuses out there to lower it? It's hard. And books like that are rare. This book stands apart from the rest of the books dealing with the same subject, if the rating is any indicator.

Book Description (From the Inside Flap)
When you're free from the pain of your past, you can live fully in the present--and look with hope toward the future.
We all experience emotional pain, but few of us know how to deal with it properly. Our unresolved pain accumulates deep within the recesses of our hearts, in a place Jimmy Evans calls the "hurt pocket." The more we accumulate, the more we are mentally, emotionally, and relationally crippled. But what if we could reach into that hurt pocket, confront our pain, and experience release and freedom?
In this life-changing book, Jimmy Evans shows you how to completely remove and resolve every negative event from your past that is compromising your present and keeping you from your God-given destiny. With inspired vulnerability and searing honesty, he helps you forgive others and yourself--and discover true inner peace. Jimmy Evans is the cofounder of MarriageToday
, an award-winning television program that airs nationally to more than one hundred million households daily on Daystar and reaches more than two hundred countries worldwide. In 1994 he and his wife, Karen, founded MarriageToday Ministries as a way to bring help and healing to hurting couples. They are the authors of the bestselling Marriage on the Rock
