Product Description Someone you know has been sexually abused.
A recent study indicated that 38% of the women interviewed had been sexually abused by an adult or family member by the age of 18.
You may think you don't know anyone who has been sexually abused, especially if most of your friends and acquaintances are Christians. But the statistics indicate otherwise: sexual abuse knows no religious or social boundaries.
The Wounded Heart is an intensely personal and specific look at this most "soul deadening" form of abuse. Personal because it may be affecting you, your spouse, a close friend or neighbor, or someone you know well at church. And specific because it goes well beyond the general issues and solutions discussed in other books.
Dr. Allender's book reaches deep into the wounded heart of someone you know, exploring the secret lament of the soul damaged by sexual abuse-and laying hold of the hope buried there by the One whose unstained image we all bear.
Good book September 6, 2008 It is uncomfortable to read this book, but it is an important topic. I am only part-way through it, but it hits some necessary keys in your psychology to deal with harmful childhood hurts.
Heart-Piercing Truth that Opens the Door to Healing April 28, 2008 I highly recommend this book for anyone who wanting to work through past sexual abuse (REQUIRES A WILLINGNESS TO STRUGGLE DEEPLY) or to understand the struggle of a loved one. Dan Allender writes with authority and gentle understanding. This book and the accompanying workbook have been incredibly valuable to me in dealing with my past abuse and understanding how to support other women who want to find healing. This should be a must read for pastors, counselors and anyone who is actively ministering to people.

The condition of the copies I ordered were pristine, and the speed with wich I received my order was very fast. I would and do recomend this vendor and Amazon to everyone.
Wonderful Book! April 7, 2008 This book broke open my heart for healing! An incredible writing of truth and got me in touch with my past that I was in denial about and my life today! I recommend it for anyone who is the least bit suspicious of sexual abuse in their past childhood.
I thank God for this book! March 26, 2008 I am so thankful for this book and the workbook. God has used this book, in my life, to reveal things within me that I did not know were there. I now realize that I went through life constantly protecting myself and functioning in a way that was completely unhealthy. My recommendation, to you, is do not pick up this book, unless you truely desire to be healed from the wounds of your past. Sometimes, before we can be healed, we have to be strong and be willing to face ourselves in entirety. It will take courage and strength. I would also recommend this book for anyone whose spouse or friend has been abused. It will allow a deeper understanding into what they are going through. I also believe that this book/workbook would be helpful to someone who has not been sexually abused, but has maybe been exposed to other types of abuse (mental,verbal, emotional, neglect) in their childhood.
