Russ Parker is an Anglican priest who has been working for the Acorn Trust for 12 years, in the last 8 years as the Director of the Acorn Trust in England.
Russ is author of a number of books, including 'Healing
Dreams', 'Healing Death's Wounds' (with Michael Mitton) 'Free to
Fail', 'The Wild Spirit' and Dream Stories. I find his healing prayer
work to be very helpful and especially recommend his work with Dream Stories.
Dream Stories - Russ Parker
Dreams have fascinated humanity for thousands of years. In today's skeptical culture, we tend to dismiss dreams as having little or no importance. Yet in the Bible, dreams and visions were seen as powerful ways in which God communicated with His people. This book takes a look at how God speaks through dreams, from Jacob's dream at Bethel to Paul's night-time vision calling him to Macedonia. Russ Parker draws on 20 years experience of pastoral ministry and examines these stories, showing how God still speaks to us through our dreams, bringing fresh opportunities for healing and growth.
Free to Fail, by Russ Parker
ISBN:0281045275
Everyone fails - including Christians who have been touched by the
healing power of God. Russ Parker's compelling book explores the
problems that many people have in facing up to failure and accepting
its place in their spiritual life. Combining pastoral sensitivity
with perceptive reflection on the Bible, Russ Parker also explores
the failure in certain forms of charismatic spirituality to come to
terms with the God whose strength is made perfect in weakness. What
sort of God is this, whose son was abandoned to the desolate
suffering of the cross? And how does this divine exposure and
vulnerability help us to live with our own feelings of powerlessness
and despair that arise when confronted with failure?
Forgiveness is Healing
by Russ Parker
A much acclaimed book full of practical help on how to give and receive the healing gift of forgiveness.
Healing Dreams - Russ Parker
Why do you dream? What effect do dreams have on your waking life? How
do you interpret their meaning? This fascinating book throws light on
what is for many of us a mysterious and sometimes disturbing part of
our lives. It examines the power and purpose of dreams in our
spiritual life and how they can lead us closer to God and to a deeper
awareness of His will in our day-to-day lives.
Healing Wounded History
by Russ Parker
History repeats itself until we find ways to listen to it and find healing for its consequences. This book introduces the role of strategic prayer known as 'representational confession', and shows how it makes reconciliation and renewal possible for families, churches, communities, tribes and nations.
