Healing the Soul of a Woman: How to Overcome Your Emotional Wounds

Product Information

This book revealed questions that I need to ask my self and humility to go before the Lord to release my burdens. Now, Healing the Soul of a Woman delves deeper into her story, and the journey of healing for all women. Sadly, we often keep our pain a secret, and it festers in our souls until we become truly dysfunctional. The book has Scripture throughout as well as a lot of facts, personal experiences and shared stories of others to really emphasise Joyce's points and guiding principles.

I absolutely have a long way yet to go, but i am confident that using what i have learned in this book, referring back to it and of course studying Gods holy word, i will one day be fully healed through Christ who is my strength and redeemer.Each chapter guides you through whatever obstacles may be holding you back to find your true destiny as God's beloved. I hate that that is the stereotype (and really, let's face it, the standard) of the godly Christian woman. I grew up in a very religious, evangelical Christian home, and, quite honestly, I can't stand that bullshit now. I read this book in audio format so I had to go back and replay certain chapters over because they were worth listening to!

She will say, "I recently went through something that was troubling me and stealing my peace," but she doesn't like to reveal details. There are also some empowering chapters in the back that cover topics like standing up for yourself, establishing boundaries, and being your own best advocate, but I so wish these chapters had been presented in the beginning of the book. Do you want to overcome the obstacles that are holding you back, and pursue your true destiny as God’s beloved? As a family, and as a ministry, they are committed to the simple yet powerful message of sharing Christ and loving people. In the back of the book, she has two appendixes: The first gives a lot of information on women's rights and treatment and abuse around the world.As a woman who endured years of abuse, abandonment, and betrayal by those closest to her, Joyce Meyer can answer with a resounding "yes! Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy from the publisher, but I wasn’t required to leave a positive review. My friend was reading it and after reading it and knowing some of what she is struggling with I believe this book will do more harm than good due to basing so much of the teaching on a supposed prosperity on earth for people of faith that is not promised in the Bible. This book helped me to see areas of my life that I need to allow God to heal-these areas weren't easily identifiable to me before reading this book. I love how Joyce explained how we build walls to keep others from hurting but in the process we lock ourselves up in the process, because we want to be in control of who and what we will allow to hurt us.
