    About this ebook

    Neil Anderson comes from a humble farming background. No one suspected that this fun-loving, athletic child would complete five degrees, author or co-author sixty books and found a global ministry. Neil served in the US Navy, then graduated in electrical engineering and worked as an aerospace engineer before sensing a call to ministry. He spent years as a church pastor and seminary professor before starting Freedom in Christ Ministries. -God put a burden on my heart to see captives set free and their emotional wounds healed, - he writes. -But my early education was steeped in western rationalism. It has taken me years to discover the reality of the spiritual world, and learn to be guided by the Holy Spirit, - Freedom in Christ Ministries equips the church to help people become fully alive, and free in Christ. -So many counselors deal only with symptoms, but Neil helps us find healing. His memoirs show that he did not write from an ivory tower, but from the context of his own participation in the battle in which we are all engaged.- ' Dr. Timothy Warner, Former Director of Professional Doctoral Programs, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School 'Inspiring and challenging. Neil's rediscovery of these biblical truths ' of truth encounter, and of our identity in Christ ' has changed and liberated countless lives, and transformed my perspective and my practice of spiritual warfare ministry. You will be enlightened and blessed by Neil's story." ' Dr. Paul L. King, Associate Professor at Oral Roberts University -Praise God for Neil Anderson's contribution to the Christian church, and for his awesome ministry.- ' Dr. Elmer L. Towns , Co-Founder and Vice President, Liberty University -This book is a jewel. We catch a glimpse of the man behind the movement, and praise God for the remarkable fruit.- ' Chuck Mylander, EFM Director

      I was disappointed with this book. His description of events in his life include much criticism and judgment of the spirit of many of his opponents. Accurate or not, it reflects a spirit of pride and disdain. It reads like a defense of his ministry, with him in the role of hero and everyone who opposed him in the role of unregenerate obstacle. I have some of Anderson's other books dealing with "Freedom in Christ" and have thought well of them but in this book there is a spirit of criticism toward others and self-praise that really put me off. It also left me feeling that if anyone working in Christian ministry did not have victory after victory (defined mostly in numbers) then they are not faithful, because God brings success. Such prosperity-thinking is not what I think the Gospel is all about. I'm not sure where that leaves me in regarding to the Freedom in Christ ministry - I guess that is something I will have to re-evaluate.

      This is Neil Anderson’s memoir. Anderson focuses more on his theological development and ministry experience, because of this it may sound less like a story and more like a sermon. The book is laid out in three sections: Life in Ministry, Life in Seminary, and Life in Freedom of Christ Ministries. He shares his personal experiences throughout the book. The author is best known for his books “Bondage Breaker” and “Victory Over Darkness.” This was a great book and highly recommended especially for those who have benefitted from his ministry and want to know how he started.

      I was happy to read Neil T Anderson's memoir, "Rough Road To Freedom". To read this book is to know Neil; he writes like he talks -- sincere, enormously honest, and easy-going.This book is an attempt by the author to explain who he is, how he has changed over the years, how he was thrust into dealing with the spiritual needs of people who were under attack by Satan, and how he was led to develop Freedom in Christ Ministries in response to the needs he saw. To show the changes in understanding he gained over the years leading to his establishment of FICM, there was a necessity to give a summary of the various aspects of the ministry. In effect, "Rough Road to Freedom" is a summary of some of his other works.I have attended several of Neil's seminars, starting back in 1992. I have read many of his books; besides this one, I own a dozen others. I was involved as an encourager in Freedom Ministries (a lay ministry offshoot of Freedom in Christ Ministries) for several years. My life was changed by finding my identity in Christ. I believe readers would enjoy and understand this book better if they have first a basic knowledge of spiritual warfare, specifically Freedom in Christ ministries, and, like me, would enjoy it most if they know Neil.Unlike another reviewer, I did not see "a spirit of pride and disdain" in this book, nor did I get the sense that Neil sees himself as a hero. He is a sincerely humble man who is confident in his identity in Christ. He repeatedly makes it clear that any effect his ministry has had is not because of Neil or the ministry, but because of God's working in the individual. The entire point of Freedom in Christ Ministries -- and other ministries like it -- is to teach Christians the power and authority they have in Christ.Because I became involved with FICM near its inception, I look forward to reading Neil's more recent books to see how his theology has been clarified, though I am certain the basis of FICM has not changed. Truth is truth; Believers need to know who they are in Christ. That is the message Neil Anderson and FICM has been proclaiming throughout.

      It was really hard for me to get through this book because the first half just seemed like bragging. Not only was it an exhaustive list of the authors accomplishments but it came across as judgemental too. It opens with the author telling what a rough childhood he had which is all good and fine, except it was told in a such a self righteous way. Eventually he comes to a revelation that he should stop taking inventory of other peoples sins, yet the majority of this book seems to be just that, an inventory the sins of everyone from coworkers to the genral population. I wouldnt say this book wa s a waste of time, it had a few pieces of good advice, but from the title I was hoping for something with more inspiration and less gloating and criticizing.

      Well-written spiritual biography by Neil T. Anderson. God allows certain circumstances to come into our lives to draw us closer to Him. Anderson knows about this very subject. He tells his story in a compassionate and sensitive narrative.
    • 3/5
      The theology behind the story is much more interesting than the story itself. Perhaps if I had been aware of his ministries, I would have been curious about his life story and the beginning of Freedom In Christ, but as an introduction to Mr. Anderson, this was less compelling of a read.
