"From my conversion as a youth, I wanted to be a soul-winner," states the author T.L. Osborn. "I had a toy printing press so with scraps of paper, I printed out tracts. Little did I dream that in a few years we would be publishing tracts in over 100 languages — at the rate of more than a ton per working day to facilitate personal soulwinning world-wide. The author writes that he was only 12 years old when he was converted, and was the seventh son of a seventh son. He started preaching at 15 was married at 18, was a missionary in India at 21. He lives by the principle that very few sinners will ever go to church so he must go out where the sinners are. World evangelism is his supreme task. Osborn's crusades in Thailand in 1956 and Uganda in 1957 are said to have laid the foundations for substantial growth in Pentecostalism in those countries.

Život každého pacienta s OCD - obsesívno-kompulzívnou poruchou je životom väzňa, ktorý prišiel o svoju slobodu vinou neprestajných zotročujúcich myšlienok. Kristoterapia ponúka takto zranenému človeku uzdravenie založené na nadprirodzenej skúsenosti s Bohom. V tomto smere je preto výnimočným titulom kniha Môže kresťanstvo vyliečiť obsesívno-kompulzívnu poruchu?, ktorej autorom je skúsený americký veriaci psychiater Ian Osborn.Doktor Osborn v nej hovorí o stretnutí človeka s Ježišom ako Uzdravovateľom. Ide o terapiu založenú na vôli človeka otvoriť sa dôvere v Božiu lásku. Podstatnými zložkami terapie sú modlitba a čítanie myšlienok Svätého písma, ktoré predstavujú bariéru pred vtieravými a zotročujúcimi myšlienkami. Autor sa venuje i vplyvu historických myšlienkových smerov na rozvoj OCD.Kniha nás prístupnou formou a praktickými príkladmi oboznamuje s problémom. Autor preskúmal životy niekoľkých veľkých náboženských osobností a na príklade Martina Luthera, Johna Bunyana a svätej Terézie z Lisieux poukazuje, ako je možné obsesívne boje zvládať práve vďaka viere.
