Hear the Sound

by Shicreta Murray

Overview

One thing every human being has in common is emotions. Regardless if a person believes in God or not every person has to learn how to deal with their emotions or live life allowing their emotions to deal with them. According to the National Institute of Mental Health "Mental disorders (major depression, bi-polar disorder, etc) are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada." The treatment for those receiving disability for mental disorders is costing our nation millions of dollars. Hear the Sound is one of the most relevant inspirational and motivational books of our time. This book empowers people to remember who they are in Christ and to receive the dominion that Christ died to restore us all back to! In order for us as God's people to overcome living imprisoned to our emotions, we first must acknowledge and receive the dominion that God has given us. It is time for God's people to rise up and be empowered to know that if we believe in Christ and the power He has given us, we can take dominion over every area of our lives including our emotions.

A health and well-being guide with a Christian bent.In her nonfiction debut, Murray lays a wide-ranging, sympathetic familiarity with the New Testament over a wide array of personal and societal ills. From relationship problems to workplace jealousies to drug and alcohol abuse to deep depression—the book opens with a careful disclaimer about how Murray's exhortations don't constitute actual medical advice—the guide firmly asserts that the cures of modern medicine can be aided by strong Christian faith. Murray writes with typical straightforward compassion (and occasional muddy thinking): "Let's take a look in the mirror and really ask ourselves what is under our skin." Using Scripture, she illustrates her contention that mankind's original sin was in falling away from close partnership with God, and re-establishing that partnership is the first and most important step toward spiritual and even physical well-being. Even Christian readers who don't share this evangelical outlook may be put off by the frequent, nonchalant references to seeing God in visions; similarly, sometimes the summaries of various health fields can be simplistic and misleading—e.g., "psychology teaches people that they are born as an addict, they can't change, and once an addict always an addict." But Murray's sincere, inclusive belief is evident on every page, and she's by no means sympathetic to the bad habits of her fellow contemporary Christians. She sees many of her fellow Christians as complacent and self-indulgent, too willing to redirect the blame for their own misdeeds: "[I]f we blame the devil for everything we do, that is a sure sign of our lack of belief in Christ." In fact, the book's strongest sections deal squarely not with illness or depression but with the central question of self-esteem. It's in these concluding chapters that her frequent recourse to autobiography serves her best.A pointed, unswervingly Christian guide to improving physical and mental health.
