Resumen del Editor

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

hard to hear, but powerful

The information in this book is challenging and will elicit strong emotions and memories. But the relief from guilt and self contempt is so real, it will at times seem unbelievable. Satan does not want you to read this book. He wants you to remain broken. You owe it to yourself to read this book, and receive the healing that God has made available to you through it.

Great! it helped me to see Me

I was amazed at how this book helped me to identify myself. i found myself all thtough this book. it allowed me to put into words the way i new i saw myself. i nrw i was a good girl , a tuff girl and a party girl. it was comforting to know that i could be all 3 . i loved the spiritual basis
o will be listening several more times.

Profound - Deep And a must Reas for the Abused

Dan did an incredible job disecting the wounds of the soul . Will read again .

content's great, narrator's voice too "triggering"

loved the content. definitely brought up tons to the surface regarding issues I need to deal with and heal. but the narrator's voice was triggering by the time I started remembering things. very subtle but sounded lowkey angry (like level one abusers voice and the escalation was crazy explosive, so please no).

it's not the narrator's fault, the voice was caring and calming also. simply wish that audible had the option to change the voice like you could do with other forms of auditory learning materials.

Painfully Phenomenal Answer to Prayers

I have been asking the Lord to remove everything from me that is not of Him. I've been struggling with rage, contempt, and many other behaviors that I just haven't been able to shake. I praise Lord for this book! It helps me to understand the why and how to move past it all so I may walk in the abundant, loving, Christ- and others-centered life that the Lord intended for me! Fabulous book! I highly recommend it, and will definitely use it when ministering to other victims of sexual abuse.
