EACH BOOK ADDS TO THE COUNSELING/MENTORING/ TRAINING MODEL
The SEW Program---Spiritual Edification Workshop--takes the major truths from each book and lays out a set of innovative steps to GROWTH, FREEDOM, WISDOM and STRENGTH by comparing spiritual development to the natural harvest of weeds and fruit in a field or ground. (Matthew 13)
The spiritual ground is the field of the human soul, where demons have used "persons, places and things," to plant destructive weeds. The SEW Program is designed to turn over the ground of the soul, weed out character defects, lies, and imaginations by re-planting healthy, divine wisdom into the ground with a clear, and rightly divided understanding of "what God ACTUALLY said." The key is that those who are trained to counsel MUST use the same principles to "take the beam out of our own eye FIRST, BEFORE we attempt to take the mote out of a client's eye.
Each book explores the RESTORATIVE process through an understanding and application of the 7 R's: REPENTANCE, RESURRECTION, REBIRTH, REVELATION, RENEWAL, RESISTANCE, AND RECOVERY.
THE FOUNDATION OF the SEW Program IS PRESENTED IN THIS BOOK. THE BOOK ALSO INCLUDES A WORKBOOK TO SERVE AS A GUIDE TO THOSE IN RECOVERY FROM BONDAGES OF ALL KINDS, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION PAID TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE.
