If you are suffering and in need of hope please read this book and share with others.
I have suffered for nearly 40 years from traumatic child hood experiences. I have engaged in self destructive behavior trying to cope, but I only ended up hurting myself and the ones I love. For the first time in my life I understand what was happening to me and more importantly I now have hope. If you are suffering or know someone who is please share this book. Thank you Norm!

4.0 out of 5 stars A mini-reference book - many topics
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2022
The books is packed with many topics and emotion-related topics. Easy reading with bullets points. Turn to any page, there is something to learn or to reflect. Great resource guide for teens and adults at your fingertips. The church community find this book a gem. Gospel oriented with the central truth of healing & recovery because Jesus came to set the captives free, and blinds to see. The gospel gives people a new life, a new heart, and a new mind. In Christ, there is no condemnation or shame, or fear, or anxiety - only Faith, Hope, and Love. ( I only wish that there is an Index in the back of the book -- so many topics and biblical references , and easy-to-understand examples/ illustration )

As someone who has experienced the overwhelming weight of trauma in life, this book has been an invaluable guide on the journey towards healing. It delves deep into the foundational principles and tools necessary to address and overcome the impact of life's most challenging events. The author's approach is deeply rooted in both psychological insights and biblical wisdom, offering a comprehensive understanding of how trauma affects not just the mind, but the heart and body as well. Through clear explanations, the book teaches us to recognize our initial wounds and the bitter roots they often leave behind. More importantly, it provides a profound roadmap for healing through biblical processes of repentance, renunciation, and forgiveness. What sets this book apart is its emphasis on God's plan for salvation and healing. It beautifully intertwines spiritual teachings with practical steps to restore fellowship with God and find true emotional healing. The insights gained here not only heal our own wounds but also equip us to extend compassion and support to others facing similar struggles.
By the end, I felt empowered not only to address my own pain but also to reach out and help others find their path to healing. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand trauma, find spiritual solace, and fulfill the call to support others on their journey to wholeness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing book on healing past wounds
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023
I received this book in a church small group about healing trauma. I could not believe the depth the author went to explain the gospel, how trauma affects the body, how we misuse our emotions, identifying the root cause of our pain, and the principles the Bible teaches about healing emotional wounds.
I am on my healing journey because of this book. I need to admit it’s not an easy walk but it is a necessary walk if I want long term healing. This book should be in every church library and used as a pastoral and counselors resource. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is hurting with emotional wounds.

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2023
I received this book as a gift. I'm not quite a religious man, so I approached this book from a spiritual point of view with an open mind. This book has an amazing message for people that have gone through a wide variety of trauma. Told through the authors point of view as an ex first responder and his many struggles. This book has opened my eyes that if he can make it through his story and be the man he is today, then I can make it through mine and become the man I want to be as well. Norm is an amazing person and a great counselor.
