Transforming Your Painful Past

How God Redeems Your Deepest Wounds into a Joy & Hope-filled Future

Your past may explain you—but it does not have to imprison or define you.

If you’ve tried to move on but still feel controlled by old wounds, painful memories, or emotional patterns you can’t break, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

In Transforming My Past, renowned Christian counselor Dr. Frank Minirth and pastor-educator Dr. Beau Abernathy offer a compassionate, practical, and faith-centered pathway for healing emotional pain and reclaiming your life.

Blending biblical wisdom, psychological insight, and real-world pastoral care, this book shows how God does not waste suffering—but redeems it—transforming even your deepest wounds into wisdom, freedom, and renewed hope.

Healing is not about erasing the past.
It’s about allowing God to redeem it—so it no longer controls you.

In this book, you will learn how to:

• Identify how past wounds are shaping your present emotions and reactions

• Break free from cycles of shame, fear, regret, and emotional paralysis

• Forgive without minimizing what hurt you

• Replace destructive inner narratives with God’s truth

• Experience emotional healing that aligns with your faith

• Move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace

This book is for you if:

• You love God but still feel emotionally stuck

• You’ve forgiven, but haven’t healed

• You’re tired of reliving yesterday’s pain

• You want practical tools—not platitudes

This book is not for you if:

• You want quick fixes or surface-level inspiration

• You’re unwilling to reflect honestly on your past

With decades of combined experience in Christian counseling, ministry, and teaching, Dr. Minirth and Dr. Abernathy guide you step by step—not to forget what happened—but to ensure it no longer owns you.

If you’re ready to stop surviving and start living with freedom, Transforming My Past will walk with you into a joy-and hope-filled future.
