The Wounded Heart - Dan Allender
Dan guides readers into their own stories of past harm to help them see how shame, contempt, and ambivalence effect their life, how to enter into the grief of the past, and how to experience the healing grace of Jesus. The accompanying workbook is a helpful tool alongside this book.
Jay helps readers to understand that their sexual struggles are not random but instead have grown out of the soil of past harm and the challenges in their family of origin. He also helps chart a course toward healing by cultivating meaningful connection with God and others.
Nouwen takes readers through a prolonged meditation on Luke 15 via Rembrandt's painting of The Return of The Prodigal Son.
