The Wounded Heart

Hope for Adult Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse

By: Dan B. Allender

Narrated by: Arthur Morey

Sexual abuse knows no religious or social boundaries. The Wounded Heart is an intensely personal and specific look at this form of abuse. Dr. Allender explores the secret lament of the soul damaged by sexual abuse and lays hold of the hope buried there by the one whose unstained image we all bear. Includes information about false memory issues.

Healing words

Healing words for all who are part of this abuse. God bless each who hears or reads this book. I pray they find comfort in the Lord Jesus Christ.

An absolute masterpiece

I’m not certain how to put into words how profound this work is. It’s not easy, it’s not a quick fix, and it’s not “new.” It simply communicates in terms that (albeit hard to hear, and against our fallen nature) resound with our new nature in Christ that the principles are God’s, and the work going on here is that of the Holy Spirit. To the unsaved that may pick this up…I feel it will be of little help. I weep for whatever pain you may have faced in the past, and long for you to come to know Christ as your saviour. He will be your only means for healing from any abuse that may have taken place, or the certain experience of other pain that you have experienced as a result of the fall of man.

Very helpful

I found this book to be very helpful in my healing journey. It is very intelligent in it's design and offers hard truths that are important to the process. The best book I've read so far concerning sexual abuse.

great for survivors

this book was recommended by my therapist . I'm a sexual abuse survivor and this book explained things I never knew how to put into words on my own. I will probably read through it again because it is remarkable. Although some sections are hard to read because they made me cry from validation. thank you I'll be looking for more of your books .

Honest, Complex, True

After reading many, many Christian resources on healing from any type of trauma and not finding a single one that dealt with its complexities, I have found finally found a gem in this masterpiece and clear labor of love. Dr. Allender clearly addresses the nuances and complexities of the wounded heart. He has reached directly into the depths of my sorrow and sinfully defensive styles of relating that have driven me to near madness and despair--driven deeper by many attempts of others to draw me towards resurrection before my own crucifixion was understood and complete. Dr. Allender tenderly and compassionately drew me to the foot of the cross. By God's grace, I can engage my wounded heart with the same tenderness and compassion and redeem the grave losses of my life. Thank you is not enough. When we see each other in glory, you will know the depths of my love and gratitude for you and your commitment to Christ. Amen.
