“This book will seek to explain the principles we learned in Ellel Ministries having the opportunity over the last twenty years to minister many people caught up in ungodly control. It taught us to take seriously the clear message given on this subject in the Bible.

Many of us have experienced the damage of wrong control over our lives, but equally we need to face the fact that many of us have learned to control others in a wrong way. Through the experiences of life many have come to believe, sometimes unconsciously, that being in control of each situation will be a place of protection. Actually it just destroys relationship. Some have also become experts at controlling their own responses to life, both past and present, only to discover that they have shut down from the truth of real relationship with others and even with God.

I pray that you will be excited to discover more of God’s truth about the issue of control as you read through this book. May the words speak clearly to you and lead you to a new place of healing in Christ Jesus.”

–David Cross, The Author
