Book excerpt: Why does everyone else seem so happy? Can't anyone see how badly I'm hurting? Why did God let this happen to me? Am I the only one who hurts? We all ask these kinds of questions when our hearts have been wounded. Do you live your life pretending to be okay? Have you tried to just get over it and found yourself moving forward only to end up right back where you started, dealing with the same pain and the same issues? People often wonder why life doesn't magically change when they have trusted God to heal their wounded hearts. Based on lessons from Ezra and Haggai, this book will show you your part in the journey to freedom, healing, and wholeness, working with God to rebuild that which was torn down by the wounds you've experienced.
