The Wounded Healer by Henri J. M. Nouwen Pdf

A radically fresh interpretation of how we can best serve others from the bestselling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son, hailed as “one of the world’s greatest spiritual writers” by Christianity Today “In our own woundedness, we can become a source of life for others.” In this hope-filled and profoundly simple book, Henri Nouwen inspires devoted men and women who want to be of service in their church or community but who have found traditional outreach alienating and ineffective. Weaving keen cultural analysis with his psychological and religious insights, Nouwen presents a balanced and creative theology of service that begins with the realization of fundamental woundedness in human nature. According to Nouwen, ministers are called to identify the suffering in their own hearts and make that recognition the starting point of their service. Ministers must be willing to go beyond their professional, somewhat aloof roles and leave themselves open as fellow human beings with the same wounds and suffering as those they serve. In other words, we heal from our wounds. The Wounded Healer is a thoughtful and insightful guide that will be welcomed by anyone engaged in the service of others.

Healing for Damaged Emotions by David A. Seamands Pdf

Events in our lives, both good and bad, form rings in us like the rings in a tree. Each ring records memories that affect our feelings, our relationships, and our thoughts about God. In this classic work, David Seamands encourages us to live compassionately with ourselves as we allow the Holy Spirit to heal our past. As he helps us name hurdles in our lives—such as guilt, poor self-worth, and perfectionism—he shows us how we can find freedom from our pain and enjoy the abundant life God wants for us.

Biblical Cures for the Wounded Spirit by Wayne A. Keast Pdf

About the Book Biblical Cures for the Wounded Spirit contains vital information that will answer many questions that those who suffer with PTSD and those close to them are asking. How does someone handle the grief experienced in combat? How does a spouse or other loved one handle the playing out of stress a combat veteran manifests when they return? Fear, guilt, no peace, and other issues are addressed. These are emotions that stir the soul and plague those who have experienced unimaginable trauma in a war zone or even in a violent home situation. Psychology and drugs are not the answer. New Age philosophy will not help. The Bible has the answers and will be found in these pages to be the solution that so many have been looking for. About the Author Saved at age 14 out of a broken, traumatizing home, Wayne A. Keast entered the Army at age 18 and discovered God’s peace in the midst of Army duty that includes deployment, and long stretches away from family. After years as an enlisted soldier, Wayne was called by God into the ministry out of German guard tour on a midnight shift. Finishing college and seminary, the Army received Wayne back as a commissioned officer and chaplain. After a deployment and after surgery, Wayne was in a rehab learning about war-time PTSD issues by listening to soldiers. After much bible study, Wayne learned of God’s cure for PTSD and how the inevitable wound can be treated successfully. Later, God showed Wayne a Bible verse that describes the issue. Proverbs 18:14 “The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can bear?” Wayne retired from the Army in 2012 with a burden for those with PTSD. This book is a compilation of the work completed in his Doctor of Ministry. Wounded Spirits is Wayne’s ministry order under Wounded Spirits INC. [email protected] www.biblecuresforptsd.org

The Healing Path by Dan B. Allender Pdf

Don't Waste Your Pain None of us escapes the heartache and disappointments of life. To live is to hurt, and we all have the wounds to prove it. Regardless of how we've been hurt, we all face a common question: What should we do with our pain? Should we stoically ignore it? Should we just "get over it"? Should we optimistically hope that everything will work out in the end? If we fail to respond appropriately to the wounds that life and relationships inflict, our pain will be wasted; it will numb us or destroy us. But suffering doesn't have to mangle our hearts and rob us of joy. It can, instead, lead us to life--if we know the path to healing. Healing is not the resolution of our past; it is the use of our past to draw us into deeper relationship with God and his purposes for our lives. If you're ready to shape a future characterized by love, service, and joy, now is the time to step out onto The Healing Path.

The Healing Path Study Guide by Dan B. Allender Pdf

DON'T WASTE YOUR PAIN. None of us escapes the heartache and disappointments of life. To live is to hurt, and we all have the wounds to prove it. Regardless of how we've been hurt, we all face a common question: What should we do with our pain? Should we stoically ignore it? Should we just "get over it?" Should we let it "make us stronger?" Should we optimistically hope that everything will work out in the end? If we fail to respond appropriately to the wounds that life and relationships inflict, our pain will be wasted; it will numb us or destroy us. But suffering doesn't have to mangle our hearts and rob us of the joy of life. It can, instead, lead us to life-if we know the path to healing. Healing is not the resolution of our past; it is the use of our past to draw us into deeper relationship with God and his purposes for our lives. We don't have to be held captive by the hurts of our past. We can move from feelings of powerlessness, betrayal, and ambivalence into faith, hope and love. The Healing Path takes us beyond self-discovery to God-discovery, giving us the tools to excavate the riches that lay beneath the surface of our pain. If you're ready to use the experiences of the past and present to shape a future characterized by love, service, and joy, now is the time to step out onto The Healing Path.

The Heart Of A Healer by Chris Lim Pdf

Every person you know has either been through situations in their lives that have resulted in trauma or knows someone who has. The church has lost the art of wisely walking with someone as they experience the effects of trauma in their life. We are at a loss when a friend loses a child, a coworker finds out they have cancer, or we hear about someone being the victim of human trafficking. If you're a fireman, nurse, police officer, pastor, counselor, schoolteacher, or any other profession that touches the lives of people, you have encountered people in trauma ... you have probably experienced the effects of secondary or vicarious trauma yourself. You have felt the hopelessness and inadequacies of trying to help someone understand the explainable. As I searched for resources to help me do that from a biblical perspective, I found that there is very little help for the Christian involved in the work of trauma-informed care. Most biblical counseling doesn't adequately address how to engage with someone suffering from trauma, and no secular methodologies can provide the ultimate healing and hope these victims long for. The Heart of a Healer is an attempt from a layman's perspective to combine the wise compassion of a trauma-informed care approach with the authoritative and life-giving truths revealed in the scriptures. This book is neither clinical nor theological in the traditional understanding of those terms. The Heart of a Healer outlines a practical and biblical approach to dealing with trauma. You will learn how to deal with it in your own life and how to effectively help others who are suffering through trauma. This book was born out of much prayer and the searching of scriptures. It is my humble prayer that God uses this imperfect attempt at this important subject as a tool to help those who he calls into this work, and that as a result, many will see your good deeds and glorify our Father in heaven.

Yet, that is not the end of the story as they also share paths to healing and recovery." Philip L. Ellis, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist "Lifetime best friends, Carl and Earl convey God's deepest love and compassion for us as they discuss the realities of very deep pain that church leaders usually shy away from addressing from the pulpit." Jodi Niemi-Brown, M.A., Certified Family Life Educator, Spring Arbor University, and Ph.D. Candidate Earl received his M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Michigan Theological Seminary and serves as a psychologist at Advance Counseling Services, LLC in Traverse City, Michigan, pastors in Cadillac, Michigan, and directs a Christian singles ministry with his wife, Kelly, called L.I.F.E. 33.

Now he has a heart for the suffering church worldwide, and those grieving who feel thwarted in their calling."

Still Scarred, Totally Healed by Patrina Wright-Gardner Pdf

How many times have we read bible stories about individuals who were hurting, wounded, lost, disappointed or distressed? Circumstances such as adultery, murder, betrayal, incest, sickness and disease left these people broken. Yet, when they became desperate enough to have a little faith all Jesus had to do was speak a word and they were made whole. How long did it take? Many times because they had a change of heart and mind about past hurts and failures their healing was instant. I was dying a slow death. I was wounded in my mind, body and spirit and didn''''t even know it. Those who know me knew something was wrong. I didn''''t look or feel the same. I was grew sick and my hair was falling out in lumps. My self-esteem was at an all time low. There was no life in me. I died to live again. No, I wasn''''t rushed to the emergency room. Nor do I claim to have seen the light like some people have experienced. The world''''s greatest physician could not have brought me back to life. So what happened to me? I became desperate for God. Nothing else and no one else would do. I realized I couldn''''t fix my problems. What seemed like positive changes only lasted for a short while. I needed God''''s divine intervention. I let go and let God. Are you or someone you know in desperate need of healing? Do you still find yourself haunted by memories of your past? Are you angry, bitter or suffering from anxiety or depression? You don''''t have to lick your wounds or remain crippled by your past. If you are ready to open your heart and mind to healing, God can heal you. I may have some scars, but I''m totally healed.
