We all make decisions on a minute by minute basis as we live and we have then to live out the fruit of our decisions. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all our decisions were great ones which lead to our long term benefit and did not open us up to future damage and hurt? Following on from the author's earlier book "Hurt by Life, Healed by Jesus", this book helps us to make good decisions and explores those areas of personal direction which help shape us as we travel along life's path. For example, many of us search for happiness but deep seated contentment is perhaps a better goal to pursue as this allows us real inner peace in all circumstances. The author often speaks from a personal perspective and provides many analogies which make the reading of this book entertaining, light and easy to absorb. If you think you could do better in terms of the direction you ought to go in, then this should be a real help. Or if you are fed up with your life and want to make changes for the better then this book can help you think about the right things in terms of what is really important and what is not. This is not academic "up in the air" material but is solidly founded and very practical for the reader to follow and adopt. About the Author: Dr Ian Heming is a respected teacher, businessman and minster of God's love. Starting life as a graduate teacher, he pursued an academic pathway obtaining a Master of Science Degree in Experimental Nuclear Physics and subsequently a PhD in Solid State Physics, which incorporated the creation of world leading infra-red detector devices. Ian has taught in college, been an executive for a leading global oil company, run his own business successfully, been a company doctor for some companies that were struggling and had responsibility for almost a third of the world for a leading global software company. He has also sat on Boards of Directors for Australian companies and for companies overseas. Since retiring from corporate business in 2005 he has been sought out by several companies for advice and leadership - particularly for leadership of people within companies and for direction setting. He has now formally retired completely from worldly business activity but has remained strongly focused on the Kingdom of God. Early on in his business career Ian came to know Jesus and received much healing for all that had gone on in his life up to that point. So grateful was he for his healing that it started a parallel career for God. At first this was in the form of being a prayer minister to the hurting and later he became a teacher of those seeking to be prayer ministers. He is State Director for Victoria and for South Australia for 'Victorious Ministry Through Christ'; a voluntary service arm to the church at large with an international presence. He is also a respected speaker for events both business and Christian and teaches regularly at training schools and summer camps. His first book 'Hurt by Life, Healed by Jesus' sums up the scriptural basis for deep prayer ministry and is a teaching handbook for self-help to the hurting and damaged who have given their lives to Christ. It is also a reflection of the observations made during his prayer ministry to people in over twenty years of service. Dr Heming was born in Gloucester in the UK and migrated to Australia in 1983 with his family and continues to reside in Melbourne. He has travelled very extensively through most of Asia Pacific and has a good understanding of the myriad of cultures which can be found. He has also travelled a good deal in North America and Europe. It is his intention to keep writing, teaching, preaching and ministering into the future as God asks of him. His earlier book was much associated with obtaining God's healing; this book is focused on holding on to the healings received and building upon that as we head into the future.
