Overcoming Church Hurts: And Moving Forward in God

A church hurt is something most people, who have held membership within a church for at least a few years, have either heard of or experienced. And it seems that the more "involved" you are with a church, the greater the propensity for experiencing or learning of a church hurt.

What do you do when you experience a church hurt? Do you simply quit the church in a huff, vowing to never return? Do you go around bad-mouthing the church leaders, telling anyone willing to listen that they're a bunch of hypocrites. Do you simply forgive, as the Bible says-seven times seventy-and continue serving in the church unguarded? Let's face it. It's a dilemma.

I wrote this book to help hurting people navigate the shipwrecked waters of a church hurt. My aim is to help these people to hold on to their faith, rebuild their trust and transform the bitterness they are likely feeling into a sense of wholeness and peace. This prescription for people hurt by the church is also designed to offer a new perspective on how to interact with the Body of Christ.
