Healing the Soul of a Woman: How to Overcome Your Emotional Wounds

Product Information

Internationally renowned Bible teacher Joyce Meyer draws on her own history of abuse to show women how Christ's redeeming love heals emotional wounds and brings joy to life. Healing the Soul of a Woman is a Christian Living book by author Joyce Meyer. I love the cover of this book, so inviting! I believe the author wrote this book so women can see themselves as wholly loved by God. Joyce Meyer says women have infinite worth and value. Whether you had loving parents or not, think about what it means for God to adopt you as His own daughter.

We all go through hardship and experience pain in our lives. And we have a choice to make about how we will respond to it:Sadly, we often keep our pain a secret, and it festers in our souls until we become truly dysfunctional.” Joyce Meyer is one of the world's leading practical Bible teachers. A New York Times bestselling author, Joyce’s books have helped millions of people find hope and restoration through Jesus Christ. Through Joyce Meyer Ministries, Joyce teaches on a number of topics with a particular focus on how the Word of God applies to our everyday lives. Her candid communication style allows her to share openly and practically about her experiences so others can apply what she has learned to their lives. There is a lot of practical advice in this book. However, as a person of faith I found myself disappointed in the overreliance on limited personal experiences of the author and "because as a Christian I say so" rationalization of the approaches in this book. Many statements are not even based on biblical reference but rather feel good statements that are conflated with what's actually in the Bible. She also makes sweeping generalization statements as if they are known truths without delving into why she thinks the statements are true.

Thank you Joyce Meyer for this book. Learning to heal my soul has been a slow and arduous process. This book revealed questions that I need to ask my self and humility to go before the Lord to release my burdens. Running on empty for years and now that I’ve exhausted each wrestling move I’m going to turn and face ME. There are scriptures in God’s Word that assure us He wants to heal and restore our wounded souls… For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord, because they have called you an outcast: 'It is Zion, for whom no one cares!'— Jeremiah 30:17 (ESV) Although my father and my mother have abandoned me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].— Psalm 27:10 (AMP) And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed.” And immediately he rose.— Acts 9:34 (ESV) Can a woman who has been deeply hurt by life's circumstances be healed, heart and soul? If she has been wounded by a man she loved and trusted, can she love and trust again? As a woman who endured years of abuse, abandonment, and betrayal by those closest to her, Joyce Meyer can answer with a resounding "yes!" No matter what others may say about you or think of you, He loves you and wants to heal your wounds and care for you. The chapters were to the point, easy to digest and just enough to hold my attention without feeling bogged down with information. I took moments to consider some of the truths of God as suggested and believe I am better for it.One of the things I truly appreciate about Joyce Meyer is how she combines God's Word with her down-to-earth writing. In Healing the Soul of a Woman, she shares her story, the story of others who have faced challenges, and Scripture to help the reader grow in their own healing from God.
