Healing What You Can’t Erase offers a far better solution—a road map for moving forward through the losses and scars by allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to transform us . . . spirit, soul, and body.

For all our self-help, self-affirming, and self-esteem rhetoric, we can’t seem to overcome it.
