Healing the Wounded Heart

The Heartache of Sexual Abuse and the Hope of Transformation

By: Dan B. Allender

Narrated by: Arthur Morey

First published in 1989, Dan Allender's The Wounded Heart has helped hundreds of thousands of people come to terms with sexual abuse in their past. Now, more than 25 years later, Allender has written a brand-new book on the subject that takes into account recent discoveries about the lasting physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual ramifications of sexual abuse.

With great compassion, Allender offers hope for victims of rape, date rape, incest, molestation, sexting, sexual bullying, unwanted advances, pornography, and more, exposing the raw wounds that are left behind and clearing the path toward wholeness and healing. Never minimizing victims' pain or offering pat spiritual answers that don't truly address the problem, he instead calls evil evil and lights the way to renewed joy.

Counselors, pastors, and friends of those who have suffered sexual harm will find in this book the deep spiritual guidance they need to effectively minister to the sexually broken around them. Victims themselves will find here a sympathetic friend to walk alongside them on the road to healing.

Excellent.

A long overdue excavation of my heart. Read it twice a couple years ago. Need to read it again. Proceed with prayerful caution.

Thanks be to God for this work

Thanks be to God for this work fulfilled through all who assisted in its creation

Read and grow.

An easier listen than I suspect it would be reading the written text alone.

Absolutely life changing for learning and loving self and others. Buying a hard copy next.

great book

I favor the wounded heart , however this was helpful as well. thank you.

Extremely helpful

love it very much will share it with many other people that need the help

So good to be understood and encouraged!

Loved it! I couldn't stop once I started the healing journey as I listened. Dr. Dan Allender's tenders yet bold approach was very helpful for me to understand my struggles and pain since my abuse. The truth revealed about views born out of our brokenness due to the abuse are especially profound to me. I used to think my abuse just happened and that I could ignore it. That idea is shattered and I look forward to getting the workbook to go with this to further work through my story.

Wonderful Book

I’m not a SAS, but I’m married to one. This book helped me to see from my husband’s perspective, all his hurts and betrayal at the hands of someone he trusted. And the author has reminded me where God would like for me to stand... at the side of my sweet husband, who did not deserve the childhood he was given. He reminded me that God has this and He will make all things new one day. But until then, we, as humans must fight against this horrible evil of childhood sexual abuse.

TWH cont.

This book is a necessary continuation of the Wounded Heart. Amazing how Allender is able to know and explain the dynamics of CSA.

Powerful insights

Wow! What a book with good advise to those of us who help people and on a personal basis. Love the compassion and reality and how these concepts merge for practical change. Yes it will take work on an individual standpoint but what doesn't work to achieve a free and fulfilling life.

Important book for all Survivors

This book, like The Wounded Heart was difficult but essential in my continued healing. He understands us deeply & helps us understand ourselves so we can unfuse our abuse with all aspects of life & truly heal from the past. God bless him
