Book excerpt: “Suck it up.” Those words empowered and encouraged me as a boy. They injured me as a man. When we talk about pain, we first think of physical pain from injury or accident. There is a masculine, internal block on the notion of our emotions or feelings being hurt. How could they be, we’re men after all! That was my stubborn mindset for years until I realized that my unresolved pain had devastated most of my adult life and held a lasting effect on me. Once I dropped the macho facade, God showed me how to get free from the stranglehold of what living a life of hurt and hate had caused. I want to share what I’ve learned through that journey with you. I’ve led thousands of wounded men along this path to freedom and personal restoration. Are you ready to be free?

Book excerpt: A little girl hides, quietly crying and listening to her brother's sharp howls of pain and pleas to stop as their mother beats him. She hopes she is not next. But she knows it won't be long; she can't hide forever. There is no way to escape. Life was not always this way for Marie Cook and her family. She once lived in the suburbs of Detroit, and life was wonderful. After moving outside of Detroit, something snapped and her mom began physically and mentally abusing her children. And her father turned a blind eye to the abuse that was going on in his own home. When she couldn't trust her earthly father to protect her, how could she have faith in her heavenly Father? It was not until years later that she would have a relationship with God, and it was this relationship that brought understanding. In Surviving Abuse: A Journey to Forgiveness and Freedom, Marie Cook shares her horrifying story of abuse with readers so that they might be inspired and, yes, forgive those who have wounded them, as difficult as it will be, to get their hearts on the right track and start living in total freedom.

Book excerpt: This Is The Book That Will Free You From Hurts in Your PastMelanie writes: I was a little girl of about five or six when my abuse began. My grandfather was the one person in my life who gave me love and affection. I was a middle child, so I felt like I didn't get much attention from anybody, but my grandfather would come over and let me dance on his feet. He'd set me on his big shoes, hold my hands, and walk around the room as I danced. He'd sit me on his lap, and swing me around in his arms. I remember so many times just being held and cuddled by him. That was very important to me. I didn't get that kind of affection from anybody else.But then the time came when that stopped being the kind of attention he gave me. Although I felt very safe with him in the beginning, I came to realize that he didn't necessarily love me because of who I was. He wanted to be around me because of what I was-I was a little child, and he was a child molester.From that dark place, hurt evolved into resentment and eventually turned into complete hatred for her offender. It was only when she received a call from her mother telling her that her grandfather was dying and her response was, "Good! He'll finally get what he deserves," that Melanie saw how crippling her pain had become to her emotional and spiritual wholeness.This book describes how she came to find freedom and healing in that place.

Book excerpt: A church hurt is something most people, who have held membership within a church for at least a few years, have either heard of or experienced. And it seems that the more "involved" you are with a church, the greater the propensity for experiencing or learning of a church hurt. What do you do when you experience a church hurt? Do you simply quit the church in a huff, vowing to never return? Do you go around bad-mouthing the church leaders, telling anyone willing to listen that they're a bunch of hypocrites. Do you simply forgive, as the Bible says-seven times seventy-and continue serving in the church unguarded? Let's face it. It's a dilemma. I wrote this book to help hurting people navigate the shipwrecked waters of a church hurt. My aim is to help these people to hold on to their faith, rebuild their trust and transform the bitterness they are likely feeling into a sense of wholeness and peace. This prescription for people hurt by the church is also designed to offer a new perspective on how to interact with the Body of Christ.
Download or read book Church Hurt How to Heal Overcome It written by Stephanie Franklin and published by . This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of people across the globe are wounded and are hurting because of church hurt. Some remain in the church for the sake of nowhere else to go, while others run out never returning. Millions of Christians can identify with this book. "Church Hurt" is from a realist point of view. It grabs the heart of the truth about what really goes on in the church that hinders, helps those who have been wounded to be real, to heal, and to fully recover. Church Hurt also provides a reference of scripture reading that will help those to release and receive total freedom. The church has malfunctioned and has gone away from the true call of the function of the church. It has formatted itself to fit the people's selfish desires, rather than the desire and the call that God has placed on the church. God never ordained the church to function from a flesh state, but from a Spirit state. As a result, it has formulated what is called a click spirit-organizational groupings, rather than the leading and the grouping of the Holy Spirit. Church Hurt explains how the people of God and the body of Christ that make up the church is on a mandate to grab a hold of the heart of God, His plan and purpose for His church; and to bring His anointing and power of His Holy Spirit back in the hurting church. God is full of mercy and grace. He wants to give the church the complete victory in every area where it has been contaminated and stolen. He wants to heal and restore those who have been wounded, hurt, abused, and pushed out of the church to be restored.

Book excerpt: Travel the world, change lives, save souls. (Note: Results not typical.) A young idealist heeds the call to radical obedience, gives away all of his belongings and shaking off the fetters of a complacent life, travels halfway around the world. There he discovers, among the poor and the fatherless of West Africa, that he has only surrendered to a new kind of captivity. There is no doubt that young people today are fully invested in social and human rights issues. They start their own nonprofits, they run their own charities, they raise money for worthy causes. Books on saving the world abound, topping the bestsellers’ lists, fueling the drive to prove not only commitment to the world but devotion to God. Now there is a new crop of books starting to emerge, detailing the consequences of trying to save a world that is not ours to save. But none of these books tell the story thatRunaway Radical tells; this is the first book to highlight the painful personal consequences of the new radicalism, documenting in heartbreaking detail what happens when a young person becomes entrapped instead of liberated by its call. His radical resolve now shaken, he returns home to rebuild his life and his faith. Runaway Radical serves as an important and cautionary tale for all who lead and participate in compassion activism, in the art of doing good— both overseas and at home— amidst this new culture of radical Christian service.
