The Wounded Heart:
Hope For Adult Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse
The Wounded Heart is an honest and hopeful journey into the damage of childhood sexual abuse. Pretending it didn’t happen leads to a life of deceit. Hoping it didn’t cause any damage increases naiveté. Gutting it out through will, prayer, or bible study leads to exhaustion and cynicism. There has to be a better path. God invites us to face the damage deeply and learn to struggle with him until our heart melts in trust. This book will deepen your hope and wonder in the gospel.
Author's note:
This book came out of asking the question: “What do I do with the abuse in my past and the abuse that my wife suffered?” It begins with the core belief that what evil planned for destruction, God uses to bring about redemption.
Originally, the publisher did not believe it would sell enough books (10,000) to warrant being published. It has sold over 250,000 to people willing to believe evil’s plan of stealing and staining innocence is not the final word.
No matter if you have been abused or not, this is a book that will help you face with greater integrity and hope the reality of living in a fallen world with a God who intends to speak the final word of hope.
