Finding Inner Peace at Last

About the Author
Pain is
certainly part of our lives, and there are very few people who
haven't, at some point, been deeply hurt. Pain - whether
caused by others, by unavoidable circumstances, or by our own bad
decisions - not only inflicts a wound, but that wound often causes
us to behave in self-protective ways that rob us of healthy
relationships and peace of mind.
| Who inflicted on you the deepest wound or
wounds you've ever experienced?
Do you still feel the pain of that wound
(those wounds) today?
Do you ever ask yourself why God let such
a thing happen to you? Do you feel anger toward Him?
Do you feel anger toward others? Do you
have a need to control, a desire for vengeance, or a habit of
intimidating others to compensate for your terrifying feelings
of powerlessness? |
If any of
those questions apply to you, you'll find help in Healing Wounds of
the Past. As author Don Schmierer writes in the
introduction, "Because I want to help you understand and experience
healing and inner peace, I will get to the point; my style is going
to be straight forward - as we say in the West, `no punches pulled.'
My prayer for you, when you've finished reading, is that you will
truly experience the peace of God that surpasses all understanding."
