Overview of the Wounded Heart Material:
From the workbook back cover: “Thousands of woman and men
have experienced life-reviving healing from Dr. Dan Allender’s book The Wounded
Heart. This companion workbook will help you work through the complex issues of
sexual abuse in a concrete way. Designed to be used on your own or in a group,
the workbook will lead you step-by-step through the process of change: facing the
truth about past and present experiences and feelings; wrestling with God,
other people, and yourself; and understanding the goals and fears that have
determined how you relate to others. It also includes specific sections for
men, ideas for discussion-group facilitators, and reflective quotations from
fellow strugglers with sexual abuse.
With professional skill and spiritual insight, Dr. Dan B.
Allender shows that there is hope and healing when survivors call on the Great
Physician for relief from their suffering.”
