BookReview.com (June 16,
2003) Chalberg,
a pastor and cofounder of Shepherd's Care Ministries, had a definite purpose
in writing this book. He intends to suggest ways in which we can find the
real God for ourselves by exposing the inadequate conceptions of God, which
prevent us from seeing Him. He comprehensively accomplishes just that as
he writes about a woman with Multiple Personality Disorder.
He gives
a complete history and profile of more than 66 personalities that make
up the system of this individual, and he allows the personalities to tell
their own stories, in their own words, as they come to know God through
Jesus. Chalberg does not camouflage or water down the descriptions of evil
encountered in these lives or in their responses to that evil.
This
book will deepen your understanding of MPD, as well as the miracles sent
by God to heal, renew and give everlasting love, as each part remembers
and learns to deal with the truth of their abuse. Chalberg poses fascinating
questions such as, " does each personality of a multiple have their
own soul before God, or is integration of the personalities into one soul
the only way they are acceptable to God?"
The book
is remarkably well written, well organized, and shows a broad knowledge
of the subject. However ...Chalberg does not boast. He gives all honor
and glory to Jesus. He causes the reader to question the potential of mankind
to do good, yet affirms God's power to cause good to come from the evil
that we do to each other. One can't help but appreciate and feel his love
for Jesus, and his burning dedication to help shattered people, as it is
so perfectly depicted in his words.
