Publisher's summary

First published in 1989, Dan Allender's The Wounded Heart has helped hundreds of thousands of people come to terms with sexual abuse in their past. Now, more than 25 years later, Allender has written a brand-new book on the subject that takes into account recent discoveries about the lasting physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual ramifications of sexual abuse.

With great compassion, Allender offers hope for victims of rape, date rape, incest, molestation, sexting, sexual bullying, unwanted advances, pornography, and more, exposing the raw wounds that are left behind and clearing the path toward wholeness and healing. Never minimizing victims' pain or offering pat spiritual answers that don't truly address the problem, he instead calls evil evil and lights the way to renewed joy.

Counselors, pastors, and friends of those who have suffered sexual harm will find in this book the deep spiritual guidance they need to effectively minister to the sexually broken around them. Victims themselves will find here a sympathetic friend to walk alongside them on the road to healing.

An easier listen than I suspect it would be reading the written text alone.

Absolutely life changing for learning and loving self and others. Buying a hard copy next.

Must Read/Listen

This book is a must read for any person that has suffered sexual abuse. Also for anybody who has someone in their family who has suffered sexual abuse. Lastly, this book is a must read for anybody who might know somebody who has been sexually abused! In other words this book is for anybody and everybody. It will increase your empathy, knowledge and insight intoyou, your family and our world today.

Really makes you evaluate situations

Makes you think, it's hard to listen too. It is good to listen and think about your situation at the same time.

Amazingly helpful book

I love this book and every other book Dr. Dan Allender has written. I far prefer when audiobooks are narrated by the authors. Professional narrators often sound robotic, as does the narrator of this book. It’s a surmountable distraction, but irritating none-the-less.

So good to be understood and encouraged!

Loved it! I couldn't stop once I started the healing journey as I listened. Dr. Dan Allender's tenders yet bold approach was very helpful for me to understand my struggles and pain since my abuse. The truth revealed about views born out of our brokenness due to the abuse are especially profound to me. I used to think my abuse just happened and that I could ignore it. That idea is shattered and I look forward to getting the workbook to go with this to further work through my story.

Wonderful Book

I’m not a SAS, but I’m married to one. This book helped me to see from my husband’s perspective, all his hurts and betrayal at the hands of someone he trusted. And the author has reminded me where God would like for me to stand... at the side of my sweet husband, who did not deserve the childhood he was given. He reminded me that God has this and He will make all things new one day. But until then, we, as humans must fight against this horrible evil of childhood sexual abuse.
