From the rear cover
Your ragged and torn past may be the key to God's future for you
We all endure trials, pain, and hardship in this life. Too often we believe these experiences disqualify us from being useful to God. But the truth is, your past pain and brokenness serve as preparation for what God wants to do in and through you--if you will surrender to and trust him. In Sacred Scars, neuropsychologist and fellow sufferer Dr. Michelle Bengtson helps you
- understand suffering from a biblical perspective
- discover how the trials of your life serve a purpose
- reflect on the healing that God has accomplished
- comfort others with the comfort God has given you
Just as Jesus's scars didn't disappear after his resurrection, our emotional or physical scars tell our story and lend credence to our testimony of God's love and power. If you are ready to turn your past pain into present comfort and future hope, let Dr. Bengtson be your compassionate guide.
"If you or someone you know is experiencing physical, emotional, or psychological pain, this book is for you. It will answer your questions, acknowledge your anguish, deepen your walk with God, assist in understanding the power of scars, and place you on a path of acceptance and healing."--Carol Kent, executive director of Speak Up Ministries, speaker, and author of When I Lay My Isaac Down
"While we wish for a pain-free life, the dark seasons are where God invites us into the most growth. In the pages of this book, you will come to understand how God uses pain in powerful ways. If you're human, you need this book."--Jill Savage, host of the No More Perfect Podcast and author of No More Perfect Marriages
