2013 Version of original

Do you sometimes feel as though you can't handle the ongoing problems anymore? The distant spouse. The rebellious child. The needy parent. The overloaded schedule. The lack of money. And does the compounding of these situations sometimes leave you feeling bitter, confused, defensive and wondering why all these things just seem to keep...

What would life be like with no fear? If you could feel completely at home and at rest in the intimate love of God? We all face two choices in life: to live life as if we have a home or to live life as if we do not have a home. Many Christians live like orphans because they have never made it past their fears and into a place of rest and safety. Are you one of them? Lay aside your orphan mindset. Come in from the storm and find rest! Discover your true identity-and your true home-as a beloved son/daughter of the Father.

Events in our lives, both good and bad, form rings in us like the rings in a tree. Each ring records memories that affect our feelings, our relationships, and our thoughts about God. In this classic work, David Seamands encourages us to live compassionately with ourselves as we allow the Holy Spirit to heal our past. As he helps us name hurdles in our lives—such as guilt, poor self-worth, and perfectionism—he shows us how we can find freedom from our pain and enjoy the abundant life God wants for us.

No More Orphans! Great news! When you receive Jesus as Savior and Lord, you are immediately changed and translated into the kingdom of the Son. You are grafted and adopted into the Father's kingdom as a result of God's unchanging covenant. However, while you are made a son instantaneously, you grow and mature into sonship over time. That means that you have to deal with the issues of your soul, the greatest of which is the orphan heart. In this book you will discover: The definition and description of the orphan heart. Your true identity as a son of the Father through the Son of God. The liberating authority of your covenant of sonship. How to deal with bitter root judgments that fuel the orphan spirit.

I highly recommend this book to anyone desiring to be part of the solution for broken lives. -Barbara Wentroble, President, International Breakthrough Ministries The Orphan Heart is a must read for every believer! While the heart of Christianity teaches a paradigm of sonship in Christ, much of the church today is operating from a "fatherless" mind-set. Pastor Larry Burden powerfully addresses this "orphan-heart" syndrome that works destruction in the soul of many, hindering a life of true identity, security, and purpose as God's child. -J.

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 twenty-five 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.
