Hurt People Hurt People: Hope and Healing for Yourself and Your Relationships

Hurt People Hurt People: Hope and Healing for Yourself and Your Relationships by Wilson, Dr. Sandra D.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781627074841.

“Hurt people hurt people” is more than a clever phrase; it’s a sad truth. Hurt people hurt others because they themselves have been hurt. And each one of us has been hurt to one degree or another. As that damage causes us to become defensive and self-protective, we may lash out at others. Hurting becomes a vicious cycle. But God can help us break that cycle. He offers His healing and hope: Hope that we will see more clearly how God can use our wounding experiences for good Hope that our scars will one day sing the praises of our living and loving Savior, even as we embrace the reality of choice, change, and transformation Hope that sees in the fragments of broken lives the reflection and triumph of Jesuss empty tomb Jesus Christ is the only all-sufficient healer for hurt people. And He graciously uses human instruments in His healing work. It is the prayer of the author that our loving Lord will use this book—now available in large print for clear, easy reading—as part of your healing process. ”Dr. Sandy Wilson knows why people hurt, where they hurt, and how to heal those hurts. She gets right to the heart of these matters in her very insightful and provocative book. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to break free from the bondage of unhealed personal hurts.” —Dr. Chris Thurman, author of The Lies We Believe
