Summary

A Woman Who Hurts, A God Who Heals will meet you right where you are, and you don't need any Bble knowledge to begin. You will learn to recognize the lies you may have heard that portray God as angry or satisfied only by our actions, which are never good enough. Whether you have made bad choices, been abused, or suffered from addictions, your past does not define you. Because our dependence is on God's character, you'll discover His unchanging and unconditional love when you accept His offer of hope and healing through His Son, Jesus. Book jacket.
