A Longing to Be Cherished Joy M Pedersen

Relationships among Christians are often distant and 'plastic', because there is fear of judgment and condemnation. Those who do not know Christ as Savior, are often put off by Christians inability to relate with one another in a loving, compassionate way. Being real about our emotional and spiritual pain is not always popular or accepted. Working through past life wounding events is needed to become real with one another. Because of this, Training and Equipping those who are willing to walk with others having unhealed hearts, is a great need in the Church. Authentic relationships are born out of clear understanding and practice of God's principles for relating. Transformed lives blossom in relationships as the Word of God, prayer, encouragement and grace - for both the one leading and the one following - are put to practice one to another. Everyone is born with a longing to be cherished. Sometimes it takes just one other person to stop, listen and care enough to hear and accept the story that feels so unbelievable. In this small consideration and affirmation of value begins the process of change in a life once feeling as if they can even be seen by others. Join this band of Christians eager to lead (teach what Jesus taught his disciples) those who want to get 'unstuck' in life and become lives healed for God's purposes. Check out the ministry promoting this growth in the Church at www.clearhope.org. The audience, to which this material will speak most, is the one that has a desire to walk with women wanting redemption, reclamation, and restoration after being 'hurt' in some way. Those benefiting from this workbook will be the reader who likes studying on their own or with those they disciple.
