Healing the Wounded Heart Workbook
The Heartache of Sexual Abuse and the Hope of Transformation
About
Find hope and healing in the wake of sexual abuse
If you are one of the millions of people who have suffered abuse in the form of rape, incest, molestation, sexting, sexual bullying, unwanted advances, pornography, and more, you know that hope doesn't come easy and healing can seem impossible. Dan Allender has been there--and he's spent twenty-five years helping other victims of sexual abuse walk the path toward wholeness.
Never minimizing the pain or offering pat spiritual answers that don't truly address the problem, Allender calls evil evil and lights the way to renewed joy, one step at a time. In this workbook, he takes you through seven stages of dealing with and healing from past abuse. He also includes chapters written especially for the spouse of someone who has been sexually abused. Provocative questions help both the abused and those who love them work through their pain and grief in a manner that is personal and profound.
