"By his wounds we are healed"--Isaiah 53:5. We are wounded people. In this fallen world, people are hurt and exploited. Children are abused. Marriages are broken. Tragedies of all kinds afflict us and the ones we love. Woundedness, it seems, is simply a fact of life. But we are not alone in our suffering. Despite our emotional, psychological and physical injuries, God has not abandoned us. God is not distant or aloof. On the contrary, through the ministry of Jesus, God enters our painful situations to bring healing and redemption. Balancing sound biblical exposition with sensitive pastoral care, Stephen Seamands examines the profound implications of Jesus' crucifixion for our healing and restoration. Because Jesus experienced abuse, shame and rejection, he understands the hurts we experience today. And his response to pain and suffering gives us hope that we too can experience forgiveness and new life. Filled with real-life stories of people’s brokenness and healing, Wounds That Heal offers comfort for our wounded souls. Ultimately, we take heart that God not only understands our pain but has done something about it. Encounter here the promise that the wounds of Jesus are wounds that heal.

This review is from: Wounds That Heal: Bringing Our Hurts to the Cross (Paperback)
I'm biased, having taken a class from this author, but I have used this since with several different groups, and it is a tremendous tool for healing. He goes into terrific detail on all kinds of trauma and suffering, and even if you have no serious issues, you will understand those who do much better, as well as having a solid foundation for praying and working with others. I recommend this book with no reservations - it will challenge and bless you if you stick with it.

Dug into my soul,

This review is from: Wounds That Heal: Bringing Our Hurts to the Cross (Paperback)
This book surprised me with the wisdom and gentleness of the author, Stephen Seamands. He said things that could have very well been said by someone who knew me well enough...but no one has known me and my history that well. I did grow up in a broken home and thought I had to depend on myself for my own protection and the obtaining of my needs. It was so refreshing to find that my responses were typical and expected given this list of events that transpired. Even the self hatred alternating with self exaltation seemed to come into balance when I understood. Very good wide spectrum - spirit, soul and body - healing can be found in this book.

This review is from: Wounds That Heal: Bringing Our Hurts to the Cross (Paperback)
I used this book as a study guide for a small group. It was so inspiring that I look forward to using it again. I have recommended this book to individuals and married couples who are struggling. The insights given are great in revealing the heart of Christ and His and Our Father's love for us. It answers the question, where is God when we are hurting...right here with us.This is a book I will re-read and recommend, again and again. I also highly recommend David Seamands books(Stephen's father)beginning with,,"Putting Away Childish Things". I've bought dozens of copies.
