When Wounds Heal

By Denice Perkins

Description:

Beaten. Broken. But never truly alone.

After enduring seventeen years of cruelty at the hands of his drug-addicted parents, Jedidiah longs to give and receive love—the kind of love he isn’t sure exists.

The deaths of his parents leave him abandoned and scared. His neighbors give him a home, the tender care he craves, and take him to church. Their minister gives him a Bible. The all-important book fills him with anger, and he can’t bring himself to believe in or worship the God who allowed him to suffer.

When Jedidiah meets the beautiful faith-filled Maggie, his scarred heart tells him she is his chance to have what he desires most. But to have the love and life he dreams of, Jedidiah must find a way to forgive God and take a leap of faith or let his fear consume and control him for the rest of his life.

Book Takeaway:

We may not be able to see God's plan for our lives, but He leads us there in His way and His time. When Jedidiah finds his way to a belief in God, he looks back and sees that God was always with him.
