Reading this book has been a temendous help to me. I was recommended Healing the Wounded Spirit at a extremely vunerable time. It is easy reading and gives insight and answers to questions you feel you can not ask. The chapter on forgiveness is vital and I recommend it to anyone who has gone through abuse of any kind and struggles with the issues of forgiving your abuser. Christian readers will have their eyes opened to how deep the wounds are. How normal “christian” words of advice often cause more confussion. What is often needed, a deep understanding and compassion, is found in this book. It sets out very simple steps to follow to start the healing process. I’ve reread and highlighted different parts of my kindle copy regulary and I highly recommend Church leaders read it too.
