I have not been so deeply touched by a Bible study as I was by "healing hurts." When I received my copy, I opened it to a random chapter and started reading, then read another chapter and thought, "Oh, my! this is going to be good." And it was. I started, of course, reading from chapter 1 and answering, not just answering, but truly searching my heart and soul for the answers to the study questions. I am very familiar with the Bible stories and the people but the way Linda has woven her story along with contemporaries, the Word came alive. This is the first "study" I found that i could do by myself. How much more could I glean with a group of friends?? However you choose to heal your hurts, start with Linda's book.
