Healing Your Financial Soul is NOT about budgeting, saving, investing or fundraising - it's an interactive, participatory experience to help Christians deal with their "baggage" about money.
Endorsements John and Carol Arnott, Founding Pastors, Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship David is on to something here with "Healing Your Financial Soul". Carol and I are well aware of how the blessings of God’s love can be blocked by the power of unforgiveness and judgments, but hadn’t thought of the financial implications. But the lights came on when I read this book. Poverty is never a friend – this book will lead you deeper into the kindness of God, including financially. Steve Long, Pastor, Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship/Catch the Fire Canada David is a long time friend of our ministry having led our School of Ministry for many years. I read David's book twice, it was that good. Knowing the book it was easy for me to recommend to our church that they attend the seminar. David took the people through a very thorough progression that targeted their thoughts, their past negative experiences, their family financial history, etc. His presentation was absolutely biblically based and his insights were profound. Folks who took the seminar and implemented his suggestions saw instant and ongoing results. We will definitely have David back next year as word spread that "you should have been there!" Mantle of Praise Ministries In late December of '06 I found that I had committed myself to reading four different manuscripts for the purpose of writing endorsements and/or suggestions. One of them proved to be a good book, two of them turned out to be very good, but “Healing Your Financial Soul” turned out be both very good and very, very fun to read. As I have taught quite a bit on finances from a Biblical standpoint I was eager to read David’s book. I can honestly say that not only is this book sound in Biblical truth re: money, but it is truly fresh, even pioneering, in the tools and perspectives it gives the reader. I have had a burden for years for Christians to become free from religious and poverty mindsets which, in turn, would allow them to experience and live out 2nd Corinthians 9:8b: “you may have an abundance for every good deed.” I am excited to say this book delivers the goods to heal your financial soul and to help bring you to the place where you can both live and give, like our Heavenly Father, out of abundance of soul and provision. Thanks, David, for a fresh and creative look at God’s standards for our lives. Founder, Communion with God Ministries This is a great book and it will help many people move into financial abundance. This book guides us in removing the conflicting beliefs we hold about money deep in our hearts. The result is that our hearts can now fully believe God’s promises to us about financial blessing, and full faith paves the way for complete financial transformation in our lives. Well done, David! I am going to personally work through all the exercises in this book and ensure that my heart is completely free from all negative ideas concerning money. George Esser, Sr. Pastor, River City Vineyard, Sarnia, Ontario In fact, we liked it so much; we invited him back in the fall. I attended again and received even more blessing from it! Our intent is to bring him back again next year and expect more people to attend based on the testimonies of people that attended the last two events. Stewart and Deborah Keiller, Team Leaders, Bath City Church, England We would highly recommend ‘healing your financial soul’! David’s likeable manner & good humour provide a safe setting in which to engage with this innovative & accessible seminar. In a concise and interactive way he challenges misconceptions, beliefs & expectations surrounding money creating the potential to revolutionize financial situations. Kim Unrau, Team Leader, New Life Church, Kelowna, British Columbia Thanks for risking and obeying. Your book will bring freedom to many, myself included. Ian McLean, Pastor, Wellspring, North Bay, Ontario
I don't know of anyone out there taking this angle on finances: addressing Christians' personal traps and turmoils regarding the nature of money and our relationship with it. David's book, and the seminar he led at our church, are fun, thought-provoking and inspiring. We'll definitely have him back soon and we'll be encouraging other churches in the region to join us.

Then stop blaming money The problem is not lack of money or advice: Your finances are simply demonstrating what you actually believe, deep down, about money and your relationship with it. You’re already living out your own personal collection of self-fulfilling financial beliefs, expectations and prophecies. Including conflicting and contradictory views of scripture verses, tithing, debt. wealth, "prosperity" and so on. Because here's the awful truth If you struggle financially, it's because you were taught, and you agreed to bellieve, and have made countless decisions to prove, that you're supposed to struggle! They’re lodged in your thinking, your subconscious, your emotions and even your body language. You need financial healing for your soul. That's why your budget is a burden, But that can change – and it doesn’t have to hurt If you’re willing to have some fun, Then your budget can work. When you’re healthy and at peace with money’s role in your life, marriage and family, you can pursue and embrace your financial destiny, whether that’s mobilizing an abundance of money for good works, or answering a call to self-denial. Or something somewhere in between. The key is to be healthy about money and thrive. Author David Hicks was a case in point, succeeding in every respect except financial. Despite a successful business consulting background among the cream of banking and investment institutions, plus years of dynamic pastoral ministry, he endured frustration, disappointment and disaster in his own finances. In this book, David synthesizes five pastoral counseling models, applied psychology and contemporary discoveries in neurology, and the Bible, and applies them to people's issues with money. Healing Your Financial Soul is born of his own Spirit-led, intuitive, creative, even iconoclastic, process in reversing, redeeming and leveraging that experience.
David Hicks is a communications consultant living near Stratford, Canada and an ordained minister. He and his wife, Charmaine, helped create, and then directed, the School of Ministry program at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship for five years, where they were also members of the pastoral team. They spent the next five years ministering and training in the areas of contemporary worship and pastoral counseling. They have now returned to consulting – David as a branding expert and Charmaine as a Life Coach.
