Cleansing the Sanctuary of the Heart

About this book

Cleansing the Sanctuary of the Heart offers a biblical-based framework to facilitate a healing process for childhood trauma and wounds. This book is filled with the stories of real people who have used these principles as they have faced the pain of their abuse, addictions, and relational challenges. They have chosen to walk the path to healing. Although their lives are not free from emotional pain today, they have learned that they are not alone on life's journey in this fallen world. They have experienced the presence of a loving God, who has promised never to leave or forsake them (Hebrews 13:5) and that he has been with them in the darkest of times (Psalm 23:4), and even that he is suffering with them and carrying them while they are suffering (Isaiah 63:9). These courageous ones have learned the value of being honest with themselves and others, to be humble and repentant as they face the truth about themselves. They become open to receiving the comfort and healing of God and forgiving as they have been forgiven (Ephesians 4:32). On this journey, they are equipped to be used as instruments of healing in the lives of others (2 Cor. 1:3-5) and to be used to prepare this world for the second coming of Jesus Christ.
