"David
Eckman is a man you can trust... His teaching
resonates with God's wisdom and compassion"
Stu Weber

Tender Warrior and
Four Pillars of a Man's
Heart |
"I am
astonished the impact your book
Becoming Who God Intended is having on me!
It is answering questions about myself and the pitfalls
I seem to get into over and over. My fear and
anxiety has been replaced with the love, joy, and peace
of the Holy Spirit! Your book has profoundly put
into focus many aspects of my life that I was unable to
put together myself. Thank you so much! I
will suggest your book for my small group because I
think it is imperative for every Christian to read."
unsolicited comment from a reader in California |
 I
have read Becoming Who God Intended and found it one of
the best, most helpful books I have every read. I have
read many good books, thinking "Yes, I should change",
but nothing would really happen. This book has made a
real difference! Thank you. |
"Dr.
Eckman’s teachings on God’s personal, passionate delight
in me have transformed how I think about God, which has
in turn transformed the way I do ministry. I now
share with greater personal depth of meaning the fact
that God truly loves them, because His love has begun to
transform my thinking."

"How do you personally experience the
transforming intimacy with the Father so kindly offered
to us in Jesus? Living openly and freely with the
Father provides the joy we all seek and the power we all
need...not just for ourselves but for the dear people we
love and minister to in our congregations.
At times the sorrow of trapped lives and broken
relationships in our churches become more than our souls
can endure. Is the Gospel truly transformational?
Can the Holy Spirit perform the life changes today that
we rejoice in reading about on the pages of the New
Testament? How does it happen? Really, how
does God set a heart free and keep it from enslavement
to the flesh and it's appetites? Where's the joy
that Jesus promised and died for?
My friend Dr. David Eckman has answered these questions
for me from the pages of scripture. God has used
David in my life, and that of thousands of others to
walk us down the biblical path of freedom, joy, and a
rich experience of the Father's affection. David
is a biblical scholar who opens treasure chests of
scriptural truth that allow us to see just how good and
powerful our Savior really is.
For your own delight and for the life-change and freedom
of your people, I'd encourage you to pour over the pages
of Dr. David Eckman's
Becoming Who God Intended, by Harvest
House publishers. Get this book in the hands of
your congregation and watch their hearts and lives
experience the freedom that Jesus paid so dearly to give
them. "

Book Details
Whether you
realize it or not, your imagination is filled with pictures of
reality. The Bible indicates these pictures reveal your true
"heart beliefs"—the beliefs that actually shape your everyday
feelings and reactions to other people, to life's circumstances, and
to God.
MAYBE YOU'RE GETTING THE WRONG
PICTURE...
Perhaps you're
-
struggling with anxiety, guilt, or habitual sins
-
frustrated because your experience doesn't seem to match what
the Bible talks about
-
wondering if your emotions and feelings fit into the Christian
life at all
If so, you may
be working from the wrong set of pictures.
Becoming Who God Intended
shows you how you can allow God's Spirit to build new, biblical
pictures in your heart and imagination.
GOD HAS A GREAT NEW PICTURE FOR
YOU!
Getting the true pictures in your mind—grasping
reality from God's perspective—will help bring your thoughts and
emotions under control. It will lead you to a life filled with
the positive emotions of love, joy, and peace. And you will
finally be able to live out the richness of true Christianity...the
life God the Father has always intended for you.

 About
the Author
David
Eckman, PhD, grew up in a dysfunctional family and came to the
Lord as a teen. His emotions remained frozen through years of
theological study and pastoring, until he finally gained a picture
of how God truly loved him. When he became dean and professor
at Western Seminary, he began to do extensive personal
counseling; and in 1997 he cofounded BWGI Ministries, which
seeks to bring about spiritual transformation through helping people
understand who they are in Christ.
