"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

RECEIVED THE BOOK, THE COURAGE TO HEAL


Received the other day the book I ordered, The Courage to Heal Book 20th Anniversary Edition of the Classic. My my my is that a thick book.

I have looked at the contents which are broken down in five parts, (Taking Stock & Taking Care; The Healing Process; Changing Patterns; For Supporters for Survivors; and Courageous Women) and snuck a peek at some of the powerful testimonies from other survivors.

The book appears to definitely have a compassionate side to it as it walks you through each step at a time and also a very rawness, right down to the bone, leaving nothing unsaid.

Naturally, I will know and understand more the process once I begin to read it. This book will give me more insight into my abuse, but my dependence will remain on my Lord for my totally healing.

Like with the Boundaries book, I will probably share some insights with you all in future posts.
