In our quest for love, we often make irrational decisions and choices all to be loved. This book is about a heart exposed to hurts, disappointment, rejection, and pain. A personal, transparent revealing of the challenges many women face in broken relationships and the path we walk, if willing, to allow our heart to be exposed to the healing of God. This workbook takes you on a journey from hurt to healing. Questions help you probe further into your experiences, while the prayers and scriptures help to release the feelings. Each chapter contains a "Look in the Rearview Mirror," which offers insight that often is not available until after we have surpassed a situation. Use the note section to journal your thoughts and feelings. Take your time... healing is a process.

First published in 1989, Dan Allender's The Wounded Heart has helped hundreds of thousands of people come to terms with sexual abuse in their past. Now, more than twenty-five years later, Allender has written a brand-new book on the subject that takes into account recent discoveries about the lasting physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual ramifications of sexual abuse. With great compassion Allender offers hope for victims of rape, date rape, incest, molestation, sexting, sexual bullying, unwanted advances, pornography, and more, exposing the raw wounds that are left behind and clearing the path toward wholeness and healing. Never minimizing victims' pain or offering pat spiritual answers that don't truly address the problem, he instead calls evil evil and lights the way to renewed joy. Counselors, pastors, and friends of those who have suffered sexual harm will find in this book the deep spiritual guidance they need to effectively minister to the sexually broken around them. Victims themselves will find here a sympathetic friend to walk alongside them on the road to healing.

Your childhood wounds do not solely determine the outcome of your future but they do contribute significantly to the quality of your relationships.

BOOK FOUR further pulls back the veil over our hearts as we explore Wounding Others. This particular wound is less talked about than the wound from the previous book, but every bit as deadly to our well-being. It is a more socially acceptable form of wounding those around us, yet sets us up to reap the consequences of our hurtful thoughts and words towards others. We spend our time focused on judgments—their cause, their effects, and how to find healing for our hearts from this destructive habit. Some may wonder how an entire book could be devoted to one little word. It's a bigger subject than some may realize.

A nationally known couples therapist reveals the single root cause of all relationship problems—and offers revolutionary advice on what to do about it While most of us have moments of loving freely and openly, it is often hard to sustain this where it matters most—in our intimate relationships. If love is so great and powerful, why are human relationships so challenging and difficult? If love is the source of happiness and joy, why is it so hard to open to it fully and let it govern our lives? In this book, John Welwood addresses these questions and shows us how to overcome the most fundamental obstacle that keeps us from experiencing love's full flowering in our lives. Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships begins by showing how all our relational problems arise out of a universal ‘wound of the heart’ that affects not only our personal relationships but the quality of life in our world as a whole. This core wound shows up as a pervasive mood of unlove—a deep sense that we are not intrinsically lovable just as we are. It shuts down our capacity to trust, so that even though we may hunger for love, we have difficulty opening to it and letting it circulate freely through us. This book takes the reader on a powerful journey of healing and transformation that involves learning to embrace these imperfections—within ourselves and within our relationships—as trail-markers along the path to great love. It sets forth a process for releasing deep-seated grievances we hold against others for not loving us better and against ourselves for not being better loved. And it shows how our longing to be loved can magnetize the great love that will free us from looking to others to find ourselves. Written with penetrating realism and a fresh, lyrical style that honors the subtlety and richness of our relationship to love itself, this revolutionary book offers profound and practical guidance for healing our lives as well as our embattled world.
