Free to vente en gros Run the Race by Gary Psyd Ventimiglia, PhD NEUF

Free to Run the Race describes the living out of our life in Christ (Hebrews 12:1). It speaks of running ""with endurance the race that is set before us."" This can be done by fixing our ""eyes on Jesus."" ""Undoing the Burden of Parental Disregard,"" speaks to a specific encumbrance that weighs the runner down making it harder to keep focus and finish the race. The burden is called ""parental disregard."" It is not being allowed to ""be oneself,"" to pursue ones inner direction, or natural proclivity in ones life. It is the experience of developmental woundedness that says being oneself in temperament, aptitudes, natural talents, and the expressing of this is prohibited. Prov 22:6 says, ""train up a child according to his own way."" The burden of parental disregard is the emotional pain in living out an identity that is not based on any expression of ones natural ""way(s)"" or bent(s). This makes the development of trust in a heavenly Father (parent) difficult. The relieving of this burden takes a ruthlessly honest focus on this woundedness and its working out its implications honestly that allows a more truthful understanding of Gods love for our lives.





""Drawing upon his vast knowledge and experience in the fields of theology and psychology, Dr. Gary Ventimiglia presents critical insights regarding what keeps many from being free to become the person God has created them to be. Gary concludes by sharing practical suggestions that foster holistic healing leading to the experiential knowing of Gods love, which in turn frees the reader to run their race. This is a book worth reading!""

--Larry Warner, author of Journey with Jesus

With a gentle but deliberate hand, Gary Ventimiglia leads us on a journey home in a thoughtful, grounded, and accessible way.""
