Life-changing., July 27, 2005
By Lindsay Rosenthal (Idaho)
All I can say is this book changed my life. It changed my whole family. There are so many
misconceptions in our society and in the church today and Ed's book has a way of revealing
them. For the first time in my life I am truly living. I have a freedom and a peace that most
people spend their whole lives striving for.

Life Changing, August 5, 2005
By Wisti (Idaho)
"I Will Give You Rest" by Ed Kurath is #1 on my list of life-changing books. In this book, Ed
condenses his years of wisdom and intimacy with the Lord in a clear, consise manner to lead
other people into the same deep intimacy. This book brings hope and wholeness to the
hopeless and broken. Ed doesn't write a list of "to dos", but rather gives the reader tools to
allow the Lord to go deep on the inside and do away with the walls that hinder them from
hearing and feeling God's heart for themselves and for others.

A Vital tool in our new healing ministry., August 26, 2009
By K. Zukowski "Whatever Is Pure" (The Emerald Coast, FL)
All our ministers are required to read this, refer to it and I recommend it to everyone!
My Mentor, who has a wonderful anointed recovery crisis home for women and children, has
been in healing ministry for 30 years and had it on hand, giving me a copy that I love. It will
help guide you to HIM to set you free!

By Mark Preissner (Wisconsin)
We host inner healing schools and have made Ed's book a recommended, book because it
explains so much of what is behind our struggles, in a very straightforward way. It has been
so good that people who have bought and read it have bought more to give to friends. One
group is using it for a Bible Study. We have sold 5 cases of this book.

Amazing Insight, July 18, 2010
By Annette (California)
I've been a Christian for years and was asking God, where is the abundant life promised? I
then came in contact with this book and was help immensely. I've taught this book in our
church for the last few years and it has helped countless others. I believe it is a must for all
Christians.

By R. B., counselor and teacher (Jacksonville, Florida)
Something happens when it is either read or told;It captivates and moves people.I have read
the book several times and have highlighted it so when I teach I am simply telling the
highlighted parts. It's anointed. I am finding in all of my groups that we end up with Ed's book
even if we start with something else. People who have been in such bondage for so long are
seeing the light..

By Elaine Gentry, founder and director of Tender Mercies Ministries (Birmingham,
Alabama)
Thank you so much for writing “I Will Give You Rest”. Your ability to bring your many years of
counseling and teaching down-to-earth in a simple, easy to understand format is amazing. “I
Will Give You Rest” has helped me, many in my family as well as the people I teach and
counsel in my home state of Alabama. It has become one of my favorite tools I use in
counseling and ministry (see the rest of her comments at Review number 24 below).

Answers we all search for, August 15, 2005
By Marilyn Rowsome (Australia)
I have been searching for an answer to how to find rest for my soul even as a Christian who
has been serving the Lord as a missionary for over 20 years. I had the privilege of meeting
and hearing Ed Kurath speak two years ago. His message was life changing for me. I am so
glad his insights are now available in book form. His simple down to earth teaching has
helped me to see my own heart and from a new state of rest to love more fully myself, others
but most of all my God. I highly recommend this book.

Powerful Message - Powerful Healing, July 3, 2010
By wings4u (Idaho)
As a former client of Mr. Kurath and lifelong member of the walking wounded, I found this
book to be an invaluable tool in my healing process. While no book, other than the bible, can
give all the answers to every question, this book uncovers some of the most profound
principles that are not discussed elsewhere in the church. Through this book and my time with
Mr. Kurath, I was able to recover my 'treasure' after a 40 year separation and my entire life
was dramatically changed. For those dealing with the most personal and profound inner
struggles, this book offers hope and a real chance to heal what hurts the most - our spirit.
10
By Barbara (Michigan)
I have carried this book with me to England, Africa, British Columbia ,Taiwan, Hong Kong etc.,
and everywhere I go people thank me over and over for bringing them this well-written and
simple to understand pathway out of distress, and into the abundant life that Jesus promises
we are entitled to. Following God's laws and God's ways are sure to lead us into abundant
life, eternally. Thank you Mr.Kurath.

Tom McManus, (Raleigh, NC)
I have been giving your book to many people, it has ministered to me and others in a
profoundly deep way. What a wonderful gift of joy God has blessed you with to be able to see
God move through you in such a way. There has been a transformation in my life, I have
rarely experienced the instantaneous release from being overcome with fear and anxiety to
absolute peace in Christ that I felt while I was reading your book. It has been also a reference
manual when I have needed a "tune up" or better yet a "tune in". I feel
like the blind man who has been given eyes to see, I am seeing Jesus clearer and clearer.
Thank you my brother.

Life Changing, September 11, 2005
By Mary E. Numme (Wasilla, AK)
Do you want to be at peace with yourself and God, and feel good about who you are? Ed
Kurath's book can give you some keys to unlock the person God meant you to be. His
counseling is scriptural, professional and theologically sound, and his caring and helpful
approach comes across loud and clear in his book on Inner Healiing. The method of pray he
suggests can change your whole life for the better. It has mine.

August 26, 2010
By Nancy O'Shea (Centreville, VA).
At last, I have discovered the answer to so many of my struggles in Ed Kurath’s book. After
years of treading a path to the self help section of my local Boarders (with no significant
change in my life), I was recommended “I will Give you Rest.” This book has made an
enormous impact in my ability to understand my past, see why I kept experiencing reoccurring
wounds and learn why I was not able to gain inner healing and lasting change. I thank God
for the manner in which Ed communicates the principles in this book. I am amazed how I kept
missing God’s invitation to heal me throughout my life. I tell others’ it is so simple, I missed it!
Please don’t miss your opportunity for the most amazing transformation and paradigm change
you will ever experience. My relationships with God, my family, friends and myself have been
significantly enhanced. My life is transforming in the most blessed way. Thank you so very
much, Ed!!

The Best, October 10, 2005
By Dr. Stephen R. Crosby, Pastor, Author, Professor (Wasilla, Alaska)
I really must compliment you on an outstanding work. As I probably mentioned when we were
together, I am not intuitively drawn to a lot of counseling and inner healing stuff that I have
seen. Frankly, I don't like most of it. Without a doubt yours is the best, and I could really
think of nothing to add to improve it. If you knew how opinionated I am, the fact that I have
nothing to say would really give you a frame of reference for how great I think this work is!As
a local church pastor who confesses to 'unenthusiasm' toward trendy, pop-culture Christian
counseling methods that seem to dominate much of the evangelical Church, I am happy to
have found your ministry.

Every Christian needs this book!, June 27, 2010
By Doug C (Washington)
This is not only a life-changing book, but it is a book that needs to get in the hands of every
believer, especially when they have just received Christ. This book is so simple to understand
and apply, and it works. You are set free of bondages, walls come tumbling down, and you
begin to see clearly the behaviors that keep us from all Christ has for us. You will learn how
we all judge, everyday and usually several times, and how we can keep from letting those
judgements take root in our heart. That alone in this book in worth treasure chests of gold
and silver. God Bless Ed for seeking the Lord for his own healing first, and then having the
heart to help others be set free as well.
16
A Must For Everyone!, September 3, 2005
By Vicki Davis (Fort Worth, TX)
If one ever has doubted God's love, that doubt will be overshadowed by the truths in this
book! There is a blanket of love overarching everything in it. I could truly feel God's heart
pouring out through Ed's in every line. I am going to recommend I Will Give You Rest for my
prayer counseling clients, my church, and in the prayer ministry schools in which I'm involved.
Ed has an awesome ability to bring some complex spiritual principles into simple focus. His
analogies are so helpful. I especially have appreciated the credit he gives to many sources
throughout the book and the expanded explanations in the End-notes at the end of the book.
His knowlege of the Word of God is clear, and everything in the book is based upon it.
Ed is a friend and colleague of many years. I know that he lives what he writes, and that is
why it resonates spirit to spirit. Thank you, Ed, for giving to us from the heart of God!

Please Read This Book!, July 29, 2005
By Kenneth F. Gift (Maui, Hawaii)
I Will Give You Rest shines God's light on who we are and how much God loves us. Instead of
just struggling and striving to do better (and never really getting better), Ed Kurath shows us
how to look deep inside where the battles are being won and lost. In a well-written easy to
understand way, Ed gives us tools and encouragement to trust in God, prayer and the power
of the Cross. The GOOD NEWS is we can find rest and enter into God's healthy and whole
best for us!

By Sheri (New Jersey)
"I WAS DESPERATE! I became a Christian as a teenager and spent the rest of my life
wondering why I didn't feel close to God. Over the years I've read scores of Christian self-help
books and followed the teaching of dynamic preachers. Still I felt dead inside. Ed Kurath's
book finally shed light on what was wrong and how to fix it. The answer is to give up trying to
"be" a Christian. The book showed me how to focus on having a relationship with God - a
relationship that begins with my own inner healing. I had been taught early on that we are
transformed by the blood of Jesus and I believed that, but why wasn't it transforming me? The
book dispels some common beliefs taught in Christian circles that don't transform but create
bondage. The message in this book brought me freedom and rest - an atmosphere where
God comes ALIVE!"

Don't run...., June 27, 2010
By Kim Wohlert (Coeur d alene, ID, USA)
Dear Readers,
I am a graduate of this book as well as a former client of the Author.I was at my very end,
when we crossed paths. I was broken and out of all hope. My horrific past had finally caught
up with me. With a vengence! I too was afraid to trust yet another "self help" book. That's not
what this is. This has a way. The techniques can be hard and painful. By that I mean no one
likes to face things. Who we really are,what we think,why we act the way we do. This book is
an incredible healing tool. Those who are looking for hope, look here. Face the pain, face the
shame, face the fear. You aren't doing it alone. Let God do his perfect work my friends. At the
end is that Peace and Happiness you longed for. Truth is, it was there all along. But you won't
know that till you get YOUR healing. As for the negative comment I saw on here, running will
get you nowhere. My best to you all.

By J. P. (Florida)
Your book is giving real understanding and insight to the healing we believe God has for His
body. As lay counselors we believe your book is giving us a prayer model that will change
lives.

What A Blessing!, July 7, 2005
By Charles F. Finck III (Liberty Lake, Washington)
Edward Kurath's book I Will Give You Rest is a breath of fresh spiritual air. So many books on
counseling and healing get bogged down in humanistic advise. Mr. Kuraths knowledge of
counseling and obvious delight in The Lord make his book so very readable yet loaded with
wisdom and relevance to healing. As I read each chapter I found so many items that are
pertinent to our relationship with God and each other. Mr. Kurath not only refers to healing,
but reveals ever so important keys to healing, such as "Removing Bitter Roots" in Chapter 3
and "Emotions Are Your Friends" in Chapter 11. I have been a Christian marriage and family
counselor for 21 years and wholeheartedly recommend this book to all who are interested in
bringing significant change to their lives.

An essential book for Chritsians serious about their faith walk!, July 6, 2010
By Fatima Ebrahim (Idaho)
This is an essential book for Christians who are serious about their faith walk. It is a book to
be underlined, highlighted, dog-eared and applied. The issues of inner vows, bitterness,
anger and judgement are thoroughly examined and explained. These issues will impede and
derail the joyful and victorious life in Christ Jesus which we all long to have established
permanently in our lives. I have found relief from bitterness and judgement which has allowed
me to begin the life I have always wanted in Christ Jesus! I highly recommend this book to
those individuals who desire the rest of Jesus in their lives.I Will Give You Rest I Will Give You
Rest

For those who are serious about finding rest., June 27, 2010
By lv2read "lv2read" (Arizona)
A have read several books on this subject and cannot recommend this book highly enough
for those who are looking for inner healing and rest. Read this book first. I was privileged to
be able to be counseled privately over several days by the author and found him to be
exactly as he portrayed himself to be in the book. The sessions were very beneficial to my
inner healing as a follow up to the book.

One of the best books I have ever read, June 27, 2010
By John in Montana
I have read Ed's book...I WILL GIVE YOU REST, at least 3 times. I have also had intensive
counselling from him on 2 different occasions. As a mature Christian, and as an avid book
reader, I can honestly say that this book, and this man have changed my life for the better.
Also, I am an ordained minister, and know enough about the Word of God, to have some
authority on the subject matter. I very strongly encourage every Christian to obtain a copy of
Eds' book. Read it slowly, and with prayer, and I am certain you will never be the same again.
God has blessed the Church with this man and his God given revelation on subject matter
that is rarely taught in churches or bible studies around the world. I give this book more than
5 thumbs up. It will be an investment that will reap you rewards for eternity.

By Elaine Gentry (Birmingham, Alabama)
Thank you so much for writing “I Will Give You Rest”. Your ability to bring your many years of
counseling and teaching down-to-earth in a simple, easy to understand format is amazing. “I
Will Give You Rest” has helped me, many in my family as well as the people I teach and
counsel in my home state of Alabama. It has become one of my favorite tools I use in
counseling and ministry.
“I Will Give You Rest” reveals the truths we need to overcome painful patterns and structures
in our lives. It is also one of few books that focus on becoming aware of our personal
strengths, talents and God given gifts. Many times this aspect is left out of Christian
counseling and study. Your unique ability to teach how to get in touch with our true emotions
while handling them correctly accomplishes tremendous healing in our lives.
My students at Tender Mercies Ministries were so blessed by “I Will Give You Rest”,that I
invited Ed and Kay Kurath to come to Alabama. They stayed for several weeks teaching and
counseling. We were so blessed by spending time with the Kuraths that we invited them
back again the following year!
I thank God for your obedience in writing “I Will Give You Rest”. You leave us a wealth of
truth, wisdom and experience that will heal the hurting for generations to come.

A "HANDBOOK FOR ALL CHRISTIANS", August 17, 2010
By "BoulderBoy" (Erie, Colorado)
Seldom does a book come along that resonates so with your heart that you feel you've just
been struck between the eyes with an "Ah ha!" moment. It is a moment when you think, "This
makes total sense. Why didn't I see this before? - I get it!" I WILL GIVE YOU REST gives a
very understandable explanation of how the spiritual and physical worlds relate and how our
sins - anger, judgments, inner vows, bitterness, etc. - in the spiritual world (in our hearts)
negatively affect our daily lives, and drag us down. We ultimately put ourselves in a spiritual
trap, and the only way out is to deal with whatever put us there in the first place. To whatever
degree, we all have regrets. We all have shortcomings. Some of us have addictions. Many of
us have messed up our lives, or relationships, to the point that we have lost all hope. For
some, life is just empty. For others, perhaps there is something eating away at us that we just
can't put our finger on, but we know it is there. I WILL GIVE YOU REST shows the AWESOME
love of Christ, and how we can not only discover, but deal with these issues head-on and
receive TRUE healing. It provides the tools to break free of the ties that bind us, so that we
can move forward in life with happiness, peace, and freedom. This is such a remarkable
book, it should be leather-bound as a Handbook for All Christians. I have bought dozens of
copies that I give out to not only my Christian friends, but anyone who is strugging with life
and needs some hope. I believe that the Lord has stirred Ed Kurath's heart to write this book
and bring a few simple truths to us, so that we may find healing....and rest.

By T.J. (Washington)
I have been married over 25 wonderful years to the man of my dreams. My world came
crashing down when my husband came to me and said I don't love you the same, I have no
passion for you; I just want to be alone! I truly thought I was going to die. Fear set in and I
realized that when I am pushed to any degree, I typically respond in fear! My husband and I
met with our pastors and shared all, they suggested counseling. I begged for us to go. My
husband refused. My heart and soul were crushed. My pastor suggested Edward Kurath and
gave me his book; I Will Give You Rest. As I began reading the book, the principles in the
book immediately spoke to me. I called Ed and scheduled a one week intensive counseling
session. During the week, I was so blessed by the anointed gifts in Ed; we worked through
many things pertaining to my life, he taught me to listen to my Treasure Inside and showed
me how and why I had shut that part of me out. During our sessions I felt poured into, loved,
and strengthened with God's truth. While in session, Ed helped me apply the biblically sound
principles written in his book. I came home and immediately I could hear my husband's
Treasure Inside. We were able to retrace hurtful times, implement forgiveness and begin to
heal. My husband spoke some of the very same words to me that I could not hear his heart
and place value in him before reading the book. I hear him now and am so blessed to say our
marriage is in repair. We are communicating at a completely different level. My husband told
me he is dedicated to our marriage. Praise God! I am now walking out blessing my husband,
family and friends by using the tools I learned from reading Ed's book and spending the week
in counseling with him. This truly is a miracle, and I give God all the glory.
Forever thankful,

what this is. This has a way. The techniques can be hard and painful. By that I mean no one
likes to face things. Who we really are,what we think,why we act the way we do. This book is
an incredible healing tool. Those who are looking for hope, look here. Face the pain, face the
shame, face the fear. You aren't doing it alone. Let God do his perfect work my friends. At the
end is that Peace and Happiness you longed for. Truth is, it was there all along. But you won't
know that till you get YOUR healing. As for the negative comment I saw on here, running will
get you nowhere. My best to you all.

Your book is giving real understanding and insight to the healing we believe God has for His
body. As lay counselors we believe your book is giving us a prayer model that will change
lives.

What A Blessing!, July 7, 2005
By Charles F. Finck III (Liberty Lake, Washington)
Edward Kurath's book I Will Give You Rest is a breath of fresh spiritual air. So many books on
counseling and healing get bogged down in humanistic advise. Mr. Kuraths knowledge of
counseling and obvious delight in The Lord make his book so very readable yet loaded with
wisdom and relevance to healing. As I read each chapter I found so many items that are
pertinent to our relationship with God and each other. Mr. Kurath not only refers to healing,
but reveals ever so important keys to healing, such as "Removing Bitter Roots" in Chapter 3
and "Emotions Are Your Friends" in Chapter 11. I have been a Christian marriage and family
counselor for 21 years and wholeheartedly recommend this book to all who are interested in
bringing significant change to their lives.

An essential book for Chritsians serious about their faith walk!, July 6, 2010
By Fatima Ebrahim (Idaho)
This is an essential book for Christians who are serious about their faith walk. It is a book to
be underlined, highlighted, dog-eared and applied. The issues of inner vows, bitterness,
anger and judgement are thoroughly examined and explained. These issues will impede and
derail the joyful and victorious life in Christ Jesus which we all long to have established
permanently in our lives. I have found relief from bitterness and judgement which has allowed
me to begin the life I have always wanted in Christ Jesus! I highly recommend this book to
those individuals who desire the rest of Jesus in their lives.I Will Give You Rest I Will Give You
Rest

For those who are serious about finding rest., June 27, 2010
By lv2read "lv2read" (Arizona)
A have read several books on this subject and cannot recommend this book highly enough
for those who are looking for inner healing and rest. Read this book first. I was privileged to
be able to be counseled privately over several days by the author and found him to be
exactly as he portrayed himself to be in the book. The sessions were very beneficial to my
inner healing as a follow up to the book.

One of the best books I have ever read, June 27, 2010
By John in Montana
I have read Ed's book...I WILL GIVE YOU REST, at least 3 times. I have also had intensive
counselling from him on 2 different occasions. As a mature Christian, and as an avid book
reader, I can honestly say that this book, and this man have changed my life for the better.
Also, I am an ordained minister, and know enough about the Word of God, to have some
authority on the subject matter. I very strongly encourage every Christian to obtain a copy of
Eds' book. Read it slowly, and with prayer, and I am certain you will never be the same again.
God has blessed the Church with this man and his God given revelation on subject matter
that is rarely taught in churches or bible studies around the world. I give this book more than
5 thumbs up. It will be an investment that will reap you rewards for eternity.

Thank you so much for writing “I Will Give You Rest”. Your ability to bring your many years of
counseling and teaching down-to-earth in a simple, easy to understand format is amazing. “I
Will Give You Rest” has helped me, many in my family as well as the people I teach and
counsel in my home state of Alabama. It has become one of my favorite tools I use in
counseling and ministry.
“I Will Give You Rest” reveals the truths we need to overcome painful patterns and structures
in our lives. It is also one of few books that focus on becoming aware of our personal
strengths, talents and God given gifts. Many times this aspect is left out of Christian
counseling and study. Your unique ability to teach how to get in touch with our true emotions
while handling them correctly accomplishes tremendous healing in our lives.
My students at Tender Mercies Ministries were so blessed by “I Will Give You Rest”,that I
invited Ed and Kay Kurath to come to Alabama. They stayed for several weeks teaching and
counseling. We were so blessed by spending time with the Kuraths that we invited them
back again the following year!
I thank God for your obedience in writing “I Will Give You Rest”. You leave us a wealth of
truth, wisdom and experience that will heal the hurting for generations to come.

A "HANDBOOK FOR ALL CHRISTIANS", August 17, 2010
By "BoulderBoy" (Erie, Colorado)
Seldom does a book come along that resonates so with your heart that you feel you've just
been struck between the eyes with an "Ah ha!" moment. It is a moment when you think, "This
makes total sense. Why didn't I see this before? - I get it!" I WILL GIVE YOU REST gives a
very understandable explanation of how the spiritual and physical worlds relate and how our
sins - anger, judgments, inner vows, bitterness, etc. - in the spiritual world (in our hearts)
negatively affect our daily lives, and drag us down. We ultimately put ourselves in a spiritual
trap, and the only way out is to deal with whatever put us there in the first place. To whatever
degree, we all have regrets. We all have shortcomings. Some of us have addictions. Many of
us have messed up our lives, or relationships, to the point that we have lost all hope. For
some, life is just empty. For others, perhaps there is something eating away at us that we just
can't put our finger on, but we know it is there. I WILL GIVE YOU REST shows the AWESOME
love of Christ, and how we can not only discover, but deal with these issues head-on and
receive TRUE healing. It provides the tools to break free of the ties that bind us, so that we
can move forward in life with happiness, peace, and freedom. This is such a remarkable
book, it should be leather-bound as a Handbook for All Christians. I have bought dozens of
copies that I give out to not only my Christian friends, but anyone who is strugging with life
and needs some hope. I believe that the Lord has stirred Ed Kurath's heart to write this book
and bring a few simple truths to us, so that we may find healing....and rest.

By T.J. (Washington)
I have been married over 25 wonderful years to the man of my dreams. My world came
crashing down when my husband came to me and said I don't love you the same, I have no
passion for you; I just want to be alone! I truly thought I was going to die. Fear set in and I
realized that when I am pushed to any degree, I typically respond in fear! My husband and I
met with our pastors and shared all, they suggested counseling. I begged for us to go. My
husband refused. My heart and soul were crushed. My pastor suggested Edward Kurath and
gave me his book; I Will Give You Rest. As I began reading the book, the principles in the
book immediately spoke to me. I called Ed and scheduled a one week intensive counseling
session. During the week, I was so blessed by the anointed gifts in Ed; we worked through
many things pertaining to my life, he taught me to listen to my Treasure Inside and showed
me how and why I had shut that part of me out. During our sessions I felt poured into, loved,
and strengthened with God's truth. While in session, Ed helped me apply the biblically sound
principles written in his book. I came home and immediately I could hear my husband's
Treasure Inside. We were able to retrace hurtful times, implement forgiveness and begin to
heal. My husband spoke some of the very same words to me that I could not hear his heart
and place value in him before reading the book. I hear him now and am so blessed to say our
marriage is in repair. We are communicating at a completely different level. My husband told
me he is dedicated to our marriage. Praise God! I am now walking out blessing my husband,
family and friends by using the tools I learned from reading Ed's book and spending the week
in counseling with him. This truly is a miracle, and I give God all the glory.
Forever thankful,
