Spiritual Crisis

Increasing numbers of people involved in personal transformation are experiencing spiritual emergencies - crises when the process of growth and change becomes chaotic and overwhelming. Unfortunately, much of modern psychiatry has failed to distinguish these episodes from mental illness. As a result, transformational crises are often suppressed by routine psychiatric care, medication, and even institutionalization. When understood and treated in a supportive manner, spiritual emergencies can become gateways to higher levels of functioning and new ways of being.

When life goes crazy, the Lord has a prophetic word for you: “Come away with me! It’s time for “selah". The word “selah” means to pause and reflect.

But in the middle of the storm, God is calling for his people to come away with him, for it’s in the place of selah that he is speaking powerfully.

And still, the "Truth versus truths" tension continues to grow. Is all hope lost? In this inspiring book, Dr. Jeff Myers tells the fascinating stories of Jesus—followers who lived for Truth and transformed their world in times of crisis.
