quote "find freedom and healing from painful memories and relational struggles"

"Often, I wonder, ‘what is the point of this suffering?’

I don’t believe every heartache is a trial God uses to teach me something or that I need to find meaning in every event. But the larger question remains: ‘God, what are you up to?’

If we look at the trajectory of our life, God is intimately involved. It is not up to me to figure out how, when, and where, let alone why, but I need to look closely enough to see that my heartache is meant to be redeemed. God intends not only to heal me but also to use my suffering for my and your good.

Our book will help you better understand what you have suffered in small and significant losses and betrayals and how God intends to heal us to empower that trauma to bring goodness to your world. By entering the valley of heartache, my heart is more open to the wonder and glory of Jesus. To name the truth about life is a risky walk on the wild side, but when adversity and suffering are significant, it is the only path that gives us vista worth the journey."

-Dr. Dan B. Allender

"If we are honest, we know that none of us have escaped heartache and trauma in this beautifully broken world.

The question then is how we heal in order not just to make it through, but truly thrive in the light of all that God would hope for us.

This book will help you understand how harm and heartache have come into your life and what you have done to protect yourself from it in both brilliant and heartbreaking ways. It will then usher you into the radically hopeful call to remember your name and join God in the redemptive arc of the gospel that is still alive and well and wooing us to be honest, repair that which has been shattered and join Jesus in breathing new life into this shattered world, starting with our own hearts."
