If we fail to respond appropriately to the wounds that life and relationships inflict, our pain will be wasted; it will numb us or destroy us. But suffering doesn't have to mangle our hearts and rob us of the joy of life. Healing is not the resolution of our past; it is the use of our past to draw us into deeper relationship with God and His purposes for our lives. We can move from feelings of powerlessness, betrayal, and ambivalence into faith, hope and love. This book gives us the tools to excavate the riches that lay beneath the surface of our pain - ideal for those of us ready to use the experiences of the past and present to shape a future characterized by love, service, and joy.
