Healing the Wounded Soul, Vol. Iv Arline Westmeier

In this volume, the author continues the theme that Jesus came to carry our griefs and sorrows to the cross. Our relationships are in crisis. We have unresolved, painful relationships in our churches, with our neighbors and friends, and in places of work. Homes break up. Friendships come and go. Marriages, the closest of relationships, are crumbling. Why, when God Himself has made us to live in communities and instituted marriage as an expression of human togetherness, love, and wholeness, are these relationships so difficult? Why, when He made male and female as opposites, but fully complementary, is it so difficult to live together in a complementary way? Transition periods between the stages of life bring vulnerable times into relationships. If these transition periods are not successfully completed, all future stages in our relationships will be jeopardized. Yet, letting go of one stage to enter into the next produces a sense of loss because of what is left behind. These losses must be grieved in order to move on to what lies ahead. Jesus came to carry the pain of our losses?whether originating from childhood or youth, from friendships or marriages, or from separations, divorces, or deaths. This book will help you discover and bring your pain to Jesus for healing. He wants to break your bondage to the problems and sins that have passed to you from generation to generation and show you how to bring healing and a new beginning to your relationships. Healing the Wounded Soul is a four-volume set. Healing Wounded Relationships is the fourth volume. Although the books can be read separately, each volume addresses healing in a specific area of life. The series was first published in Spanish and German.
