Healing the Wounded Soul, Vol. II Arline Westmeier

On reading the first volume of the Healing the Wounded Soul series, many people found deep healing for their inner pain. The concept that Jesus carried our emotional wounds to the cross was completely new to many of them. What a relief they experienced when they realized they could express their deepest emotions without fear of sinning and being condemned or of making God angry. Yet for some, the pain continued. For others, their memory of what happened remained as frightening as before they had brought it to Jesus for healing. Why were some healed and others weren't? In this volume, the author deals with these "hard" and "difficult" cases. Other difficult areas dealt with include such questions as, Why is it so hard to live victoriously in some areas of life and not in others? Why is it so difficult to control one's anger, while the thought of robbing a bank may be no temptation at all? What can we do about these "weak spots" in our character? How can we close these "open doors" that give room to the enemy in our lives? How can we deal with the praise given to us without becoming proud? How can we feel happy about the way God uses us without taking His glory to ourselves? In this volume, the author speaks from her counseling practice to these and many other difficult questions. Healing the Wounded Soul is a four-volume set. Closing Open Doors is the second volume. Although each volume addresses healing in a specific area of life, each book is self-contained and can be read separately. The series was first published in Spanish and German.
