This short intro book very briefly summarizes the principal foundations for the Immanuel Approach and describes the basic process. It then presents more than twenty-five case studies representing a wide range of clinical scenarios and illustrating the many ways in which the living presence of Jesus brings exceptional skills, truth, and other healing resources to therapy sessions.
Although it is especially written for mental health professionals, it also makes an excellent introduction for the average layperson, who may simply skip the two chapters that address issues particularly pertinent to MHPs and the footnotes providing references for supporting research.
This is truly an introduction. Not a condensed version of the basic training seminar. Not a condensed version of the big lion book.
Main components include:
- Short discussion of principles and process
- "What is unique?"
- Case study examples (many--about half the book)
- New formulation of role of the therapist/MHP
- Credibility and research support
- Frequently asked questions
- Resources for learning more.

“I have utilized the Immanuel model to bring emotional healing to some of the most severely traumatized populations worldwide. In Uganda, I sat cross-legged on a dirt floor across from victims of Joseph Kony’s rebels, watching Jesus reconsolidate the horrific memories of those brutalized by child soldiers. In India, I saw Jesus bring hope and healing to young ladies who were sold into human trafficking since the age of seven. In the Middle-East, I saw Jesus release those who had been captivated by fear for most of their lives because of the terror perpetrated by the Taliban on both themselves and their families.”

“Immanuel Prayer is the single most effective method I’ve ever encountered for healing the lifelong eects of trauma.”

“Dr. Lehman's extensive study of brain science has revealed a pain processing pathway for metabolizing trauma. That in and of itself is remarkable. What is truly miraculous is the simple process he has developed for enabling people to remove the barriers that keep them from perceiving the presence of Immanuel - the God who is always with us. When Immanuel leads us down the pain processing pathway, remarkable healing is inevitable. The Immanuel Approach should be an integral part of every Christian's life who desires a deeper walk with God.”
