Book Description

January 4, 2006
Hope and Healing Are at Hand

Extraordinary emotional pain cries out for something more than a Band-Aid, a pat on the shoulder, or a greeting card cliché. When the wounds go deep, real help, honest encouragement, and tangible healing may be hard to locate. But it is there to find, and the search is worth the effort. Compassionate and experienced counselors Dr. Steve Stephens and Pam Vredevelt, LPC, have walked alongside women in pain for years—they’ve heard the stories, seen the tears, felt the pain, and entered into the devastation. They’ve also seen how wounded women can step out of darkness into hope, regain their feet, restart their lives, recover their energy, and even reclaim their joy. Real-life stories and proven, practical counsel serve as powerful tools to help you recover from past and present wounds, moving you into a new season of productive living.

Hope Is Here

“My pain is too deep for a Band-Aid.”

“Will this heartache ever end?”

“Why me?”

Today is your day…a fresh season of living has arrived.

Coming alongside as faithful friends, Dr. Steve Stephens and Pam Vredevelt meet you in the depths of your circumstances and uncover the pathway to healing. They offer an opportunity to regain your feet, restart your life, recover your energy, and reclaim your joy.

These real-life testimonies and proven, practical counsel will guide you toward complete recovery and inspire you to press forward in newfound strength—not in spite of your wounds, but because of them.

“I believe this is one of the most important books ever written for women. Every page is filled with nurturing wisdom and refreshing hope. At last, for every wounded woman, there is a pathway out of the hurt and pain.”

Alice Gray, author of Treasures for Women Who Hope

Coauthor of The Worn Out Woman and The Walk Out Woman

Story Behind the Book

The authors are licensed therapists who see an enormous number of women struggling with the same basic issue: wounds that result from living in an imperfect world with imperfect people. “Some are great at hiding their wounds,” they say. “Others are so overwhelmed by them that they are unable to recover and bounce back. We consistently meet women with incredible potential who are stuck in emotional pain. Unable to move forward, their wounds block them from becoming all they can be. We want to help them work through the process of letting go of this pain and progress in healing. The abundant life Jesus promises will be theirs!”

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The authors, both licensed counselors, team up to offer Christian hope to women in pain. They address seven kinds of wounds—physical, sexual, verbal, social, spiritual, emotional and those wounds that result from our own poor choices—as well as the hope offered by the God of the Bible. That hope comes with work, and Stephens and Vredevelt don't hesitate to tell women that healing their pain requires commitment, patience and trust. "God never promised to keep us from wounds, but He did promise to be with us and to help us heal," they say. "No matter how difficult our struggles or how deep our wounds, they carry with them great lessons." Inspiration and honesty are hallmarks, with issues such as grief, anger, anxiety, guilt and shame discussed openly. The authors are just as candid on faith issues like prayer, forgiveness and God's healing. This hard-hitting book offers no wiggle room for women in the business of healing their wounds; pain, it argues, can "teach us about ourselves, life, and God." Discussion questions at the end of each chapter make the book useful for small-group study. (Jan.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and Practical, February 7, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Wounded Woman: Hope and Healing for Those Who Hurt (Paperback)
Over the past several months, I have been going through a long, hard and often painful healing process. I have been deeply wounded in a lot of different ways. I still have a long way to go. I have been searching for a book that would offer both hope and practical help. I found what I was looking for when I picked up a copy of "The Wounded Woman" This book is jam packed with practical advice, piercing insights and real help. It doesn't offer a quick fix. But it does help you understand how different attitudes and actions can hinder the healing process. This book was very eye opening. It also hit a lot of nerves. Anyone who has been deeply wounded will not make it through this book without shedding more than a few tears. But feeling is a key part of the healing process. I would highly recommend this book to any woman who is struggling with these types of issues. This is one book you will want to read with a pen or highlighter handy. Read the book through slowly. Take time to digest what you read and when you get through it the first time, read it again. This book has been absolutely life-changing for me. It has taught me to so much. I feel certain it will do the same for anyone who reads it. If you are a woman and you are hurting and wounded. Do yourself a favor. Buy a copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Healing Book, April 17, 2008
This review is from: The Wounded Woman: Hope and Healing for Those Who Hurt (Paperback)
As a child of abuse, a teenager of wildness, a young adult of abusive relationships and just pain/hurt one right after another, this book is truly awesome.

It comes from a spiritual aspect and truly is a great tool in overcoming the pain and hurt in your life. I had already overcome the hurt and pain in my life before purchasing this book. I am the founder of Women Living 4 Jesus Non-Profit Organization and was looking for books to help other sisters in Christ with the pain and hurt of life and came across this book. I read the book and wish I had it years ago, it would have saved me so much pain and hurt in life.

It is great because it does not just deal with a certain kind of pain or hurt - it covers all aspects of pain and hurt in our lives. It is an easy read and I found that I did not want to put it down even to take notes.

Even if you are free and clear of past pain/hurt in your life, this book is still a great book to read because it will help strengthen your walk in this life, it will give your encouragement and it may just give you the tools to help others in their time of need.

I recommend this book to all women and men!!

God Bless!

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE of my FAVORITE books, August 4, 2009
This review is from: The Wounded Woman: Hope and Healing for Those Who Hurt (Paperback)
I have several copies of this book because I hand them out to women who are hurting. If you read this book and answer the questions, taking your time, really allowing God to speak to you through the processes, you will be a different woman when you're finished! I was!
