Overview

Journeys to Love - Revised continues the saga of people being healed after a lifetime of abuse, as they discover and accept the truth about God's love. Walk beside them over the next four years as they begin to learn the reasons for their survival and why God said to them; ""I will love you with an everlasting love and I will heal you. Your wholeness will be found in Me not as the world understands wholeness, but as I give it. You will remain a multiple for My purposes because each of you will have a testimony to give about My power to heal and receive all who come to Me."" These people will struggle through life's most imposing questions facing all of us. What is God's definition of a person: body, mind, soul and spirit? Does the soul exist in two dimensions at the same time and live beyond death of the physical body? Why does God save them, only to allow them to continue to suffer physically, emotionally and spiritually in this world? Why is evil so adamant in attempting to break their relationship with God in Jesus Christ? Can they trust God enough to survive in a world that doesn't accept them? Recorded in the words of those persons' experiencing them, some of life's hardest issues are investigated, illustrated and documented in these books; spiritual warfare, clergy abuse, Satanic Ritual Abuse, evil in everyday life, spiritual healing and the reality of the power of the Kingdom of God at work in and around us. As the author of this series and a pastor & counselor specializing in spiritual issues, I include a running commentary of their journey as a clinical study of their journey with their first counselor and then with me. I include definitions of terms used for understanding the care given them and what we learn together about God's love, healing, plans and will for all of His children. How God chooses to reveal His love and power, while confronting evil in the midst of their pain and suffering, through forgiveness, mercy and truth will challenge your concepts of Him and His love. Our purpose in these books is not to focus on understanding their experiences, my understanding of them or their ""disorders"", but to help all those going through similar struggles in search of hope and healing to see and hear how Jesus responds to their needs and why... to know that God in Jesus Christ is trustworthy and true to fulfill His good plans for us all. While this book covers the next 4 years, I have updated the information shared in the prefaces and prologues of both books to include new understanding of these issues learned over the 24 years of my counseling relationships with hundreds of clients / friends and their journeys to know who God is and why He loves them...and why we can trust Him. However, these additional personal stories will be revealed in a new series without any added commentary by me: the Loved Back to Life Series released in May 2020. Our hope with this new series is the same as with the Shattered People Series, that our readers will have more opportunities to know and trust our Heavenly Father's ongoing and unconditional love for them. ""For I know the plans that I have for you, ' declares the Lord, 'to give you a future and a hope."" Jeremiah 29:11

Rev. Bob Riggert Review 11/20 Manning, IA: ""I think you are the shepherd that bends down and wraps the little sheep's cut foot. You hold him and rock him and tell him don't give up little sheep. Jesus loves you and cares for you. . . . I think there are very few shepherds that bend down in the bad places to help the little sheep that are forgotten"" (Chalberg, Shattered People Series: Journeys to Love, p. 105) A child of the System accurately describes Michael Chalberg and his pastoral response to the often forgotten ""sheep"" suffering with Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). Pastor Chalberg's love for his sheep is chronicled in Journeys to Love and Journeys to Joy (both revised in 2020). As a fellow pastor who has also been privileged to minister to precious and lost MPD ""sheep,"" I have found these volumes very helpful to my understanding of the complexities of MPD and helpful to practical and compassionate care. Best of all Michael Chalberg desires that all sheep know Jesus... the Good Shepherd. Book Wire Review - May 17, 2005 - Journeys to Love: Book Two Michael E. Chalberg's ""Shattered People Series: Journeys to Love - Revised"" is the second book that deals with how a pastor helped victims of drug abuse, multiple personality disorder, alcoholism, clergy abuse, sexual abuse and Satanism. Chalberg began in 1994 to help such victims. This book covers the next 4 years of a 16 year journey in the program as he describes how victims are misunderstood by almost everyone and how they slowly realize the infinite love of God and move on to a better life. Chalberg puts forth pertinent questions regarding human civilization: Are people capable of living in a society that promotes, even encourages, such excuses as drug abuse and alcoholism? Is the Church doing enough to negate these disturbing influences of society? These questions do not have easy answers and Chalberg doesn't attempt to answer them. However, his actions as portrayed in the book demonstrate God's infinite love for all people and his belief that with adequate support, these people are capable of living in an evil world. At the end of the book the victims have not yet emerged victorious in their quest, the book still confirms that people are capable of facing all their difficulties, if they believe in God and trust in Jesus. Chalberg's book can inspire us all. Dr. Joe Johnson, Grace Lutheran Church Huntington Beach, CA - May 2005 Journeys to Love is for every kind of reader. The continuing history of Maria, diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder, provides a detailed study of a client whose personalities mature separately and learn to pull together through caring counsel and trusting relationships with Pastor Chalberg and his team. Maria endures a long journey of pain never pretending to be strong yet exhibiting strength as all personalities cooperate to build health, career and relationships. On another level, this book is a parable of truth, which instructs and challenges the individual, family groups and even the church. One can relate as various personalities sacrifice their own preferences for the sake of wholeness and unity. There is powerful wisdom about respect in relationships and loving God in a passionate, yet practical way. Finally, it is a good story: full of unthinkable struggle, tenacious love, and unexpected humor. It illustrates Jesus' words: ""Beware that you don't despise a single one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven are always beholding the face of My Father."" (Matthew 18:10)
