Same old Strawman? Hardly!, March 5, 2005
This review is from: Only God Can Heal the Wounded Heart (Paperback)
This book gives a wonderful overview of the biblical methodology of change. Man is not basically good, just a little dysfunctional. The Christian doctrine of total depravity is correctly identified along with the answer from 2nd Peter 1:3. True hope is given through the transforming power of God's word, not the pandering to pop-culture, nor so called "christian counseling" that employs ineffective (but secularly popular)psyco-techniques. For the truly serious biblical counselor, pastor, or those who are hurting, this book is a must read!

only god can heal a wounded heart, July 26, 2006
This review is from: Only God Can Heal the Wounded Heart (Paperback)
While the title may appeal to those like myself who would give ultimate credit to God and His word for help in times of trouble, this book is anything but the truth or helpful. It is basically a grossly misinformed response to the book and seminar, The Wounded Heart, by Dr. Dan Allender. Mr. Bulkley, although he may be sincere, has done a great disservice to the abused through his misunderstanding and misrepresentation of Dr. Allender's work on sexual abuse from a biblical perspective. Mr. Bulkley has twisted many of the principles of The Wounded Heart and, sadly, may steer others away from this tremendously helpful understanding of abuse. As a Christian who is also a counselor, I would highly recommend you avoid Mr. Bulkley's book and purchase the biblically based Wounded Heart and its companion workbook instead. Dr. Allender has helped many face the effects of abuse and begin the process of healing which ultimately leads to a greater understanding of, and love for, God.

Burn the Book!!, May 22, 2007
This review is from: Only God Can Heal the Wounded Heart (Paperback)
The whole stinkin book is about some woman that made up that she was abused and went to some therapist and ended up with a bunch of multiple personalities and left her pastor husband and her kids. In the end she is speaking at some seminar about the dangers of therapists.
The whole book is like a kick in the stomach. It goes back and forth between the story line and talking about how people make up this stuff. It really hacked me off and hurt. The title of this loser of a book is Only God Can Heal the Wounded Heart by Ed Bulkley.
This book heaps pain upon pain. The only thing this book is good for is throwing or burning.
