Publisher's Synopsis
PAIN CAN CAUSE YOU TO BE ABSENT FROM YOUR OWN LIFE...
'A burnt child dreads fire, ' says the old English proverb. Pain 'speaks' loudly in the lives of people who have been hurt. It continues to extend its dark shadow long after the initial injury takes place, limiting the scope of their dreams. It crosses generations, derailing destinies, manifesting itself in fear, indecision, hostility, promiscuity, manipulation, lying, and even in obesity. Pain must be put in its proper context. It must not become the voice of authority in your life, defining the parameters of your world and drowning out the divine invitation to fulfill your destiny.
Are your life decisions faith-based or fear-driven? Who decided to choose the path that you are on right now? Are you living your own dream, or someone else's? Can you distinguish between the 'witch's tongue' and the other voices around you? Leader: who is leading you? Does your pain 'speak' in your ministry to wound those in your care?
This book explores the many 'voices' of pain that people often overlook or even mislabel. It shows how doors of opportunity may be inaccessible to an individual, because pain articulates an erroneous message about who he or she really is. It looks at how pain manifests itself in children, teens and adults, and presents strategies for taking back their voice. Each chapter comes with questions for assessment and discussion. Recognize the ways in which pain speaks in your life and begin today to reclaim your voice of victory!
Do you know what 'language' your pain speaks? Has pain drowned out the voice of God in your life and seized authority? Has residual pain kept you from enjoying abundant life in Christ? Are you aware of the connection between pain and spiritual warfare? How about inherited pain? Are you passing on a heritage of pain to your children because of your choices?
How do you begin the process of breaking the cycle and finding your authentic voice? Do you even know what that voice should sound like? Watch your authentic voice of victory emerge as you read and study this book!
A perfect 'book club' choice for individual or group study, for both men's and women's groups seeking to embrace their destiny in Christ.
