In this award-winning book, Leanne Payne reveals how to overcome the three great barriers that keep us from becoming whole persons: inability to receive God's forgiveness, inability to forgive others, and inability to accept ourselves.

"This book is a classic of Christian psychology and spiritual theology, one of a series of classics from this author. It is drawn from extensive research in the best spiritual writers, but it is also deeply enriched by practical experience in the ministry of healing. Mrs. Payne enables the reader to discern the psychological roots of spiritual problems and the spiritual origins of neurosis. Her treatment of spiritual warfare is gripping and fascinating and also critically corrective of the excesses in this area."
