“Healing What’s Within: Coming Home to Yourself--and to God--When You're Wounded, Weary, and Wandering”
I want to take a moment to seriously recommend this book to any friends and family who might be interested. It was written by a psychologist who is also a pastor. Here’s a bit from the back of the book:
“So many of us carry a weight of buried pain. We may appear strong and resilient, but inside a storm brews from all the ways we’ve been hurt or harmed. Little by little, we become disconnected from who we truly are, learning to cope, to numb and suppress the ache within to keep us from suffering… (but) it’s never too late to start healing. God’s heart is always ready to help you find your way home.”
A few things to mention:
This is coming from a Christian perspective but I think it could be a remarkable guide to all people.
Some of my more conservative friends might find a few parts that they think are “flaky”. I did too at first but I want to tell you this book really helped me. If it helps, view this book as a watermelon – if necessary, spit out some seeds but take advantage of all the remaining good fruit!
As I read through this book, I was constantly hit with new thoughts about a person's healing journey. I would even say that there were some personal epiphanies that have really benefitted my emotional and spiritual health.
Consider, as the new year approaches, if this is a book that could help you “heal what’s within”.
