Opis

This book considers the premise that we have all experienced brokenness and woundedness, to some degree, in our lives. The book expounds upon the book by the same title by Henri J.M. Nouwen, a renowned theologian and scholar. There are people who are considered by themselves, and others, to be wounded healers, entering into the lives of others who are experiencing loneliness, grief, pain - both physical, emotional, and spiritual -, depression with or without suicidal thoughts, anxiety, PTSD, gender and sexuality identification problems. The are the people in our midst who are asking themselves, -Who Am I?- and who wonder if their broken, wounded condition will ever improve. It contains essays, reflections, poetry, short stories, and sermons from the two authors, all of which are designed to describe the conditions of woundedness and healing. We all have healers - angels, if you will, who are humans - who come into our lives to assist, even guide, us toward a state of healing. These -angels-, wounded healers can appears as family, friends, loved ones, teachers, counselors, therapists, spiritual guides, and a variety of others - all of whom desire to enter fully into our suffering and can share their own wounds in such a way that Oneness can be discovered and a connection with our Creator can be be established.
